occurring.

practice.

• Facilitate the responsiveness of the institutional resource systems to
meet health and human service needs.
• Promote social justice and equality of all people with regard to full
participation in society.

profession through research and evaluation.

problems.

The Goal and scope of social work as laid down here
is noble and broad--- to help an individual be included
in society and to transform the very society that
creates structures that marginalize individuals from
full participation in the enjoyment of social services
and resources of the community. Change sought is
one that makes an individual and the community a
better place for everyone.
