 Where Social Workers Work
Social workers practise in a wide range of settings, including:
family agencies
- children's aid societies
- hospitals
- mental health settings
- addiction treatment facilities
- correctional facilities
- schools
- seniors' services
- community organizations
- employee assistance programs
- private practices.
Social workers provide the majority of counselling and psychotherapy services in Ontario.
Many social work positions are funded directly or indirectly by governments (municipal, provincial or federal). Other social workers work for agencies funded by voluntary donations. A growing number of social workers are independent or private practitioners. |
