Why we collect stories

Facts tell people what social work is. Stories show them. Writing on social change describes how stories build trust, pass on knowledge that's hard to put into words, and move people to act in ways statistics alone can't. Stories from people whose experiences are often overlooked can also challenge assumptions people don't know they hold. Every story here helps show the public, employers and government what social work really is.
