| Summary |
"Most of us chose social work because of our interest in improving how we treat one another in our society and helping individuals reach their potential. In short, we want to change situations for the better. Change is a critical part of social work. Change is a process that social workers help individuals, communities, or systems we work with go through so that we can evolve into a better place. But what is "better?" We will likely have different opinions on what form change for the better should take. Yet we are all social workers - shouldn't we have the same vision or strive for the same goals?"-- Provided by publisher |
