ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Financial social work

Okay kiddo, let me explain what financial social work means. It's like helping people with their money problems. Just like how you sometimes need help with your homework, some grown-ups also need help with their money stuff.

Now, when a person comes to a financial social worker, they talk about their money problems, like if they don't have enough money to pay their bills or if they're in debt. The financial social worker listens and helps figure out a plan to solve the problem.

Sometimes, the financial social worker teaches the person how to manage their money better, like how to make a budget or how to save money. Other times, the social worker might help the person find resources that can provide financial assistance, like government programs or non-profit organizations.

So, basically, financial social work is all about helping people manage their money better and get out of financial problems!
