What is Financial Social Work?

When browsing on Facebook, I came across a free E-book about Financial Social Work. I was intrigued by it since I never heard of this division of social work. The research I did defined Financial Social Work as “an interactive, introspective behavioral model” that is strength based, psychosocial approach. It “incorporates on-going education, motivation and support.”


Financial Social Work is described as an adaptable model to a majority of client populations to encourage clients to engage in sustainable, long-term financial behavioral change through education, motivation, and support. The general long-term goal of the model is to encourage clients to take control of their income and gain more control over their lives. What experiences can you share about financial social work?
