This indicator shows the rate of social workers per 100,000 population.
Why is this important?
Social workers link the most vulnerable populations to much-needed social and health services. They also act as counselors, educators, case managers, and advocates to ensure that individuals and families can cope with everyday challenges and critical life events. Social workers provide services in education, healthcare, child and family, mental health, and substance abuse.
