Social network refers to the web of relationships and connections that individuals have within their society or community. These relationships can be formal or informal, and they are often centered around shared interests, values, or goals. Social networks consist of individuals, groups, institutions, and organizations that interact with each other and influence one another's behavior, well-being, and social dynamics. They are integral to the structure of society, as they help individuals access resources, support systems, and social capital. In the field of social work, social networks are critical in understanding how people and communities navigate their challenges and in designing interventions that address these challenges effectively.

In social work theory, social networks are studied as a means to assess and improve the functioning of individuals and communities. Social workers often look at the structure, function, and dynamics of these networks to understand how people interact within their environments. Social networks play a vital role in promoting social support, community building, and empowerment, which are central to the practice of social work. Understanding the various components of social networks helps social workers develop strategies for intervention that are holistic and context-sensitive.
