Social Support Network And Core Values Of Social Work

Decent Essays
The way that my personal values social support network and core values of social work fit together for the most part would be an interesting balance for the simple fact with my family they already know how I am so talking to them about certain things. If I have an issue that’s going on with them or about something they’re doing I come out and say it. I realize I can’t do those things in a work environment I have to really listen to clients and help them see what they want to do to change things I can’t change it for them. There could be a potential problem within my family as a whole because there are things that I see that I don’t agree with and makes me think even though they been living like this should I say something or will they get offended

No issues have to be brought up. Like anyone else, she does show the love of her family when it comes to pictures in her office or with coworkers while talking in conversations. Her personal and professional lives do not mix on the job while she and any other social worker has to set boundaries.…

    This class has been a great experience for me and the most important thing that I learned in class came from the young adulthood, middle adulthood, and late adulthood interviews. Linking the interviews with the person I interviewed with the theories related to that age had help me become aware of how I will use these theories in practicing social work in all areas. Now that I am aware of the theories I seek out the person I am working with the past history of their life from childhood to now. Each human experience is different and important to know when working with an individual. For example, in the middle adulthood interview, Shawn had a good relationship with his children that were very important to him.…

    3. As a social worker, working with Andrew would be incredibly difficult, as rectifying all the harm that was done by the child welfare system would require intense interventions in order to restore Andrew’s emotional wellbeing. Andrew has lived in 19 residences throughout his 17 years, and it has been proven that frequently moving children around, is detrimental to their emotional wellbeing, and destroys a growing adolescent ’s sense of stability. A lack of stability is evident within Andrew’s story, as moving frequently became a norm for him in his personal life, and behaviour issues and struggles in school were rampant throughout his life.…

    Carers can be quite guarded as talking about such personal and sensitive details can be extremely hard, yet the assessment process requires this information to form effective solutions to problems. Respectful practice of social workers can make all the difference in obtaining this data as individuals who are listened to more likely to feel valued and open up to share their thoughts, feeling and wishes. Social workers who appear non-judgemental and congruent are also expected to establish a rapport built upon trust as they will identify with the carer. Likewise, carers will probably realise the social worker is genuinely interested in helping and thus be willing to engage if the social worker is empathetic (Maclean and Harrison, 2011).…

    As mentioned previously, I feel it is important to respect everyone regardless of their differences. By valuing the dignity and worth of a person as a social worker, we are striving to empower people and by increasing the clients desire to change their own needs, so we are essentially building up their self-worth and dignity, which will hopefully pour into society. By respecting a person, it nourishes the importance of human relations. When respect is given, respect is earned. By respecting the clients, families, organizations, and communities, it makes it easier to advocate for…

    As I was making my Ecomap I came to realize that my priorities are not completely met and that I might need to change my routine in order to feel satisfied with the goals I want to accomplish in life. As I look at my elements I see that I am focusing my energy mainly in school, which is acceptable since this will help me fulfill my goals of having a successful career one day. School is a positive energy and it brings me satisfaction when I finish a term with a good grade, but at the same time it can be depleting. I have to focus and give most of my time to school in order to fulfill my goal and receive good grades. School is a lot of dedication and at times I have to sacrifice other activities (such as family time, gym, friends) in order…

    I understand and value all human life, regardless of their background or beliefs. As a future social worker, I should treat each person, client, in a caring and respectful fashion, while being mindful of individual differences, and cultural and ethnic diversity. Unfortunately, this value is also a struggle for me, in the sense that I do not consider myself cultural competent and would like to work on and improve in the future. In becoming cultural competent, I will need to work with various different populations, and as of now, I have limited…

    While these experiences were difficult to face, they were the first steps toward forming deep value for loving and caring for people, especially marginalized groups. While at a young age my values were primarily products of my cultural background, my spiritual journey began to have the most impact on my values as I matured. I grew up in a practicing Christian family, but I did not begin to act upon my faith until I was a freshman in high school. In the final months of my freshman year, I lost all of my friends and fell into a state of depression and anxiety for the next five months. It was during those months that I became aware of my desperate need for God and really began to pursue a relationship with him.…
