In the field of education, Social workers are the ones who support schools in managing, building policies, limiting bad habits and promoting the strengths of the school; connecting schools with other social organizations, helping teachers and students overcome difficulties in the teaching and learning process, taking care of the mental health of staff and students. Social work activities aim to support doctors in classifying patients, consulting, introducing referral services, supporting patient care... contributing to reducing difficulties in accessing and using medical examination and treatment services of hospitals and medical examination and treatment centers.
