Introduction
The School of Social Work at King's provides a unique learning environment characterized by excellence in social work education directed toward developing and fostering ethical and competent professional practitioners, at both the beginning and advanced levels, who recognize the interrelatedness of human needs, social structures and oppressive conditions in their practice with diverse populations. Social Work is a profession concerned with helping individuals, families, groups, and communities to enhance their individual and collective well-being. It aims to help people develop their skills and their ability to use their own resources and those of the community to resolve problems. Social Work is concerned with individual and personal problems but also with broader social issues such as poverty, unemployment, and domestic violence. The Bachelor of Social Work Program at King’s is accredited by the Canadian Association for Social Work Education (CASWE). Students acquire the knowledge and skills needed to be effective entry-level practitioners through a curriculum that provides foundational tools for critical thinking, interdisciplinary learning, collaborative problem-solving, positive intellectual values, understanding of diversity, and effective communication. Social work organizational administrators, community organizers, social justice advocates, social researchers, and social policymakers are just a few examples of specialized positions that those with this experience can pursue, having the potential to drive change on a greater scale.
