Features: The main purpose of this book is to explain the social welfare system in the United States. However, its uniqueness also lies in the fact that different countries have different ways of meeting social welfare needs. The fundamental questions this book examines include: about helping people, the resources used for helping activities, the methods of providing help, and to whom help is provided, the main programs for providing help, and the feeling of helping others. For readers, spending time and effort to learn about the social welfare system is worthwhile. If you choose to pursue a career in social welfare, such as social work, nursing, or mental health care, you will find that knowledge of the operation of the social welfare system is essential and very important. At the same time, in daily life, when people encounter emotional, financial, housing, medical, educational, or community difficulties, the social welfare programs that make up the social welfare system will provide help. When you become a social welfare professional, you need to understand what welfare services people can receive and how to receive these services. The author hopes this book will help readers participate more intelligently and more effectively in the social welfare decision-making process.
