I know “public health” and “social work,” but what is “public health social work”?

No problem.

Interesting. Thank you!

Public health social work is a contemporary, integrated, trans-disciplinary approach to
preventing, addressing, and solving social health problems. It draws on social work and public health theories, frameworks, research, and practice. It’s about prevention, not just intervention after problems have occurred. It uses multiple methods, including research, policy, advocacy, clinical and macro approaches. It works across population levels, from individuals to groups, communities, and whole populations. It’s strengths-based and emphasizes resilience and positive factors to promote health and reduce risk.
