Abstract

The social worker’s job has been seen as related to spaces addressed from philanthropy. Social work is classified as a profession aimed at collective well-being, particularly of vulnerable groups.

It is also important to take into consideration reconceptualization as a key aspect in the development of social work, as it makes it
