Social care involves supporting individuals facing marginalization, disadvantage, or special needs. Practitioners operate across diverse environments assisting various groups: youth in residential care, individuals with disabilities, homeless populations, those struggling with substance abuse, community-based families, elderly citizens, and new immigrants. Social care professionals primarily engage in direct, interpersonal support with those they serve.
