The work of social workers is to bring improvements in relationships of kinfolk members. They will also be helpful to those families facing hard circumstances like divorce, death or illnesses. They mainly guide these individuals as they find solutions. They will also help people to know their problems, set goals and make solutions for these troubles. In cases of neglect, drug abuse or neglect, the family counseling services are offered to the affected individuals. Sometimes they recommend that children be separated from the parents.

They simply begin their work by encouraging effective communication. Some of these individuals may not have spoken to each other for several months. By the time they decide to seek a counselor, they barely know the recent situations that affected their partner. They are the neutral individuals among rivals. At such a position, they help members of the kin to share fears, disappointments and concerns without confronting each other.

As they communicate with kinfolk members, they keep on asking questions. These questions help the family members to open up. As they will be answering these questions, they may get aware of the root of problems. Wrangles among parents may make children to disrespect their parents. The therapist makes these children to understand that issues of their parents do not concern them.
