Sometimes, people feel bad. Not in their bellies, or in their chest, but in their heads. They may feel really sad, or angry because they are sick, or something really bad happened to them.

Sometimes, people are scared of sad people, so they call the police. 

But police aren't the right tool for this job. They are good at stopping robbers. But not good at making sad people feel better. Sometimes, they make things worse and even hurt the sad people!

So, we need the right tool for the right job. We need someone who can talk to the sad person and keep them from getting angry, and help them.

That is where the social worker comes in! We can call them instead of the police to come and they will help! (Hauck, 2021)

Social workers are trained to talk to people. They can find out why people are sad or confused, and can get them the help they need.
