When I read the case vignette, there was no thought of a dysfunctional individual. Stated in NASW code of ethics, a social worker doesn’t judge or blame a person for their hardship. We are trained to be their advocate when is needed. An individual or anyone can fall on hard times, become depressed because of the circumstances that are happening in their life. The first thing, I thought about was their children. When kids are removed from a home, there must be other things happening for DCFS to get involved. I wasn’t judging or blaming the women. I give her credit for seeking out help. If she was receiving assistance from the neighbors, she did let other people know that she couldn’t afford to feed her children. She also sought out living quarters
