I work as a social worker in an institution such as a
school, where I can practice with children, intervene with families, but not
from a decisive vision, but instead work with them from their realities and
life contexts. I know that for the paradigm of my house of studies it is to
erase the assistance vision of the career, but the approaches that I have had
in home visits to the users of the programs sometimes you have to have
assistance practices.
Since when you have a family where only the mother and
children are left alone and this mother is unemployed. Children are hungry and
need to eat, sometimes there is only one left to give money to that mother so
that these children can feed themselves.
I believe in social work as a profession that can transform
realities but for her it should not only be saying we go to the macro of social
studies and interventions but when we work with people's cases we also do not
bias help people in their needs.
Hi Charlotte, I admire your perception of social work, I thought about being a social worker before I decided to study psychology
ReplyDeleteSocial workers need respect...I think it seems like a hard job. I saw a movie called "Precious" with Mariah Carey in the role of social worker. It's a great movie. I recommend it!
