SWHELPER is an award-winning, mission-driven, and progressive news website. We are dedicated to providing news, information, resources, and entertainment related to social work, social justice, and social good.
Our audience is comprised of academics, policymakers, social workers, students, mental health practitioners, helping professionals, caregivers, and people looking for information to help themselves or a loved one in crisis.
Here at SWHELPER, we acknowledge and understand systematic oppression and its effects on vulnerable groups. How do you pull one’s self up by your bootstraps when you don’t have boots? As a society, we believe helping professionals must use holistic and intersectional solutions on the macro, mezzo, and micro levels in order to remove challenges and barriers as well as add protective factors in order to achieve better outcomes for children and families.
