Developed in the framework of social and behavioral sciences, social work studies serve as a scientific approach to solving problems and resolving conflicts of individuals, families, groups, organizations and communities.
In Israel, the profession of social work is organized by the Social Worker's Law of 1996.
The Department of Social Work is located at the heart of social activity in the north and fosters exchange and cooperation with the population of the region through student field training and supervision and joint community projects.
The graduate curriculum is designed to enable students to develop their professional self by providing knowledge, values, and a systemic professional approach. The programs ensure that students have the ability to operate as social workers in the modern age and to continue on to further study for advanced degrees.
The Master's program trains social workers to work and develop advanced practices in social services with an emphasis on relevance, effectiveness, and social responsibility.
Students have a variety of courses to focus on such as The Stress, Trauma and Resiliency Studies Program.
The Stress, Trauma and Resiliency Studies Program prepares future social workers to act as first responders in emergency situations. The program is based on field research which demonstrates that immediate and efficient mental health intervention at the site of disaster or emergency situations, significantly reduces the risk of post-traumatic symptoms, and greatly aids victims' speedy return to their regular level of daily functioning.
Training includes both theoretical and practical studies of leading and innovative methods in the realm of PFA – Psychological First Aid, along with field experience gained in real life emergency situations. The curriculum combines theory and practice, with in-depth study of the post-traumatic reaction and its prevention, as well as simulations of large-scale emergency situations, which are conducted in collaboration with the IDF, regional rescue teams, Magen David Adom (medical first aid), firefighters, and more. In real emergencies students have taken active roles in treatment of victims of missile attacks in southern Israel. The Stress and Trauma Study Track is an innovative academic program in the Israeli and international higher education landscape, and reflects the college's deepest commitment to the resilience of community and society.

The purpose of studies is to train the student for the profession of social work and award the graduates with a professional degree. The study program emphasizes the years of study an aspiration for excellence while combining academic knowledge and professional skills.
The program is structured as a process that allows the student to develop academically and professionally while imparting knowledge, values, systemic perception, and intervention skills to individuals, families, groups, and communities. The program gives students the ability to think scientifically, and knowledge of qualitative research and quantitative statistics. The learning style ranges from learning in small workshops with personal guidance to face-to-face lectures in moderated forums - this style allows the student to develop creative thinking both academically and professionally, and to exploit the added value inherent in it, which will allow him to continue to be an excellent social worker in the modern era and/or study for advanced degrees.
The professional principles of the department -
A. The view of social work is, in essence, systemic and capable. Therefore, the basis of the professional training for the first degree must be generic, to provide the graduates with knowledge and skills that will allow them to integrate into all areas of professional activity and academic activity alongside.
B. The perception of the social vocation of social work as guaranteeing a social safety net. The Department of Social Work at Tel-Hai College sees the challenges facing Israeli society as a lever for change and social adjustments while emphasizing the unique needs of the region. The uniqueness of the Department of Social Work at Tel Hai Academic College lies in the development of mutual relations with the local communities, characterized by the diversity of customs and cultures in rural, kibbutz, and urban settlements.
These relationships are expressed in the involvement of the students in the welfare field in the community with the aim of creating social change, learning, research, and evaluation. Also, there is a possibility to be admitted to one of the expansion tracks: trauma stress and resilience or policy practice.
