Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When social workers provide important advice to help clients make the right connections and actions, the type of support provided is called informational support. This can include sharing resources, providing guidance, and offering recommendations. It differs from emotional support (providing comfort and empathy) and instrumental support (providing tangible assistance or resources). It is also distinct from appraisal support, which involves providing feedback and evaluation on a client's actions and choices.
