Social Work

Hopefully, because you have a passion for the field, a sensitivity to people and their problems, and a desire to help others who are suffering from a variety of life's challenges and emergencies.

Although all social workers help people to better their lives what a social worker would be responsible for varies depend on what field of social services they work in. For example a healthcare social worker would be responsible for helping the patient and family mentally during a medical procedure while a social worker working for a school would counsel students that needed help with grades.

Social work is done with the intention to work selflessly for the betterment of the society. Though the Govt is doing lot of work, still there are many things which are left behind.

Social workers should be emotionally mature, objective, and sensitive to people and their problems. They must be able to handle responsibility, work independently, and maintain good working relationships with clients and coworkers. Volunteer or paid jobs as a social work aide can help people test their interest in this field.

That depends on the state. At least a 4 year college degree and a Masters are mandatory. A Masters can be one or two years. And then there is a requisite for supervised professional practice hours, generally 2000-3000 hours with 200-300 hours of supervision. After that is completed, you need to sit for a licensure exam. And after you pass the exam and get licensed, there is a requisite number of CEUs to take per license year and/or certification period. All told, you're looking at 5-6 years of school, and 2 years of professional service before you are eligible to sit for the exam...and many -- actually most -- don't pass the exam on the first time round. I had one social worker who worked for me, and was quite good at her job, fail it 6 times...that's 3 years, as it was bi-yearly. The CEUs are on-going for as long as you maintain your license. It's generally 15-30 credits per year. but then aqain you have to pass it the first time because who wants to do another 3 years of college and its already tough.so just pass it the first time. thank you for your time

Anti-discrimination is the process whereby people put forth a serious effort to stop people from discriminating against any people group for any reason.

Bad answer above. Anti-discrimination laws prohibit SPECIFIED factors [e.g., race, religion, disability] from being included in SPECIFIED decisions [e.g., housing, employment at large employers]. We continue to support and require discrimination against millions for good reasons (hiring illegal aliens is prohibited, hiriing non-engineers for engineering jobs is prohibited.]

Something simple would be, "Hi, my name is _________. I like __________. Some of my hobbies are__________. Would you tell me a little bit more about yourself."

There are many problems in the world around us. Rape, domestic violence, child abuse, and drug and alcohol abuse....... If someone does not step up to change it, no one will.

---(Response) OK, but did you know that social workers must have graduate degrees plus 3 years of clinical experience to receive licensure? That's about as much training as a medical doctor.... and 5 years more than your average public school teacher, and yet we get paid an average of $15,000/yr less than teachers. Weird, huh?

Answer:

Another view: I am a social worker, and certainly people in my profession are interested in "stepping up", as the above contributor explains. In my own experience, I have found that while social workers are usually good at advocating for the rights of others, we tend not to be as good at advocating for ourselves as a profession.

Answer:

Ok, so everyone agrees that social workers have perhaps been too willing to accept low pay over the years, but how can we change that? We need to do something about this and we need to do it as a group....

I am a social worker w/ a Master's and Bachelor's from an Ivy League. I was just offered my first graduate-level position for a salary higher than the going rate for social workers in my city, yet $15,000 less than my husband's entry level salary as a Bachelor's level teacher in a public school. On top of that, I just found out that one of my clients is getting a higher salary than me in his "supported employment" position as a newspaper delivery person.

It completely defies logic that graduate level professionals would get paid so little, and I don't think any other profession would stand for this.... so why do we? I would have tried to negotiate up my salary, but I was afraid that they would just move on to the dozens of other social workers willing to work for virtually nothing. If we don't take action as a group, we have no chance of changing anything.

I am just entering the field as an LLMSW and I am very concerned about why we have accepted this for so long. I am also concerned about being taken advantage of as an LLMSW, even in the profession where people are supposed to be concious and mindful of these power dynamics and are suppesd to not take advantage of those who are more vulnerable. We are supposed to be able to advocate for others and we also know that we need to take care of our needs in order to be good social workers. We also know that this is one of the reasons for high burnout. Why have our leaders not stepped up? I am asking that we challenge NASW to do more. If the NASW (2010), "works to enhance the professional growth and development of its members, to create and maintain professional standards, and to advance sound social policies," then why are they not advocating for our needs so that we may continue working in our chosen field without as much fear and shame of our salaries!

They are kind of competing schools of thought. Criminal Justice takes a very different approach to criminals as social workers. As a social work major, you will have a vast number of opportunities to work in many fields like corrections and/or the legal system. Check your local university or college's school of social work.

Just so you know, I am a Bachelor's Degree level social work student, so my answer has some validity.

Social workers should be emotionally mature, objective, and sensitive to people and their problems. They must be able to handle responsibility, work independently, and maintain good working relationships with clients and coworkers. Volunteer or paid jobs as a social work aide can help people test their interest in this field.

Examples of social issues are:

Poverty

High Unemployment Levels

High Crime Rates

Low Mortality Rates

A social issue is something that affects the members of a society.

social worker needs a post graduate degree before he can work and social care worker can be trained on the job or only needs NVQ.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median annual wages of child, family, and school social workers were $39,530 in May 2008. The middle 50 percent earned between $31,040 and $52,080. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $25,870, and the top 10 percent earned more than $66,430.

The school social worker will help children overcome their barriers to learning through advice and support with their issues. the social worker can also laise with parents and help access services within the local community.

The school social worker, will not help children do anything. All school social workers do, is get into students personal lives, and basically f-ck their lives up. Especially if you have court issue, because they will do everything and anything to get your child locked up in a juvenile detention home. For a good minute . So basically how I am answering this question is that they aren't good people. All they do is cause pain.

It is a method of social work which intervenes in the psycho-social aspects of a person's life to improve, restore, maintain or develop their social functioning by improving their role performance.
