Overview of the School Social Work Chapter
School Social Work (SSW) is a specialized field of practice in the social work profession. School social workers aim to coordinate with the school, community and family to provide a range of preventive, developmental and remedial services to enable students to gain the most benefits from their schooling experiences.
