Analyse The Benefits Of Being A Social Worker

Decent Essays
You may feel one way about a place and I do not necessarily need to feel the same. I just think there is no consistency with the social worker schedule to meet our needs, if we are available and she is not then theres no visit, and poor coordination. I texted her Saturday about this week scheduling and hoping to have a visit on Friday October 16th, 2015 she got back to me yesterday afternoon telling me that you had available Saturday but that there are not social workers available, today there is one; they wait till the very last minute. I am also paying a ridiculous amount of money in those services and as you and I know I am not currently working, initial payment was ^400 as a retainer, not even to cover visits or intakes, on the other hand

    I have chosen to enter the profession of social work because I want to help people who are suffering from mental illness and who are underserviced when it comes to getting help for mental illnesses. By working with a distressed person to become better, not only will I be able to enhance their life, but also the community will transform into a more positive place. I view transformation as a ripple effect, where changing the situation for one person eventually causes a change in the majority. This is especially true when it comes to mental illness and the stigma that surrounds it. I have been highly involved in mental health work on my college campus since my sophomore year.…
