Social isolation

progress naturally. Some of these feelings I have been self-aware of when in the classroom setting always wanting to raise my hand and get “acceptance” of my intelligence. I do hope we address the raw emotions of social work with identity and clinical practice.

family and friends. I am hopeful with proper management isolation will be minimal. Social ties with family may stay intact but will be at risk as we have read family members normally become care givers which can become both stressful and burdensome (Greene, 2007).
