Social Auxiliary Work is a compassionate and impactful field that focuses on supporting individuals, families, and communities facing social challenges. Social auxiliary workers play a vital role in assisting professional social workers in delivering essential services, such as counseling, child and youth care, and community development. This program equips students with the necessary skills and knowledge to provide emotional, social, and administrative support in various social service settings.
