Social Work

Empower Pacific social workers support people to make decisions to enable them to overcome difficulties they are facing.  Social Workers can provide information for people to know what is available to help them and how to get it.  Empower Pacific social workers can provide a link to targeted services that assist people in meeting their financial, family, social and personal needs.

Social Workers help clients plan what they can and should do in certain situations, and work hard to ensure the safety of their clients is a priority.  Social workers are bound by confidentiality and work within professional boundaries to respect the wishes of their clients as they work alongside them to develop goals that best work for them.

Social workers may work with individuals, couples, families, children, community groups and also work closely with the Ministry of Health, Department of Social Welfare and other community agencies to provide support to those in need.
