    1395 Words  | 3 Pages

    When working with clients of diverse background and cultures, it is important for counselors to be conscious of this fact during assessment and subsequent counseling. Due to fact that much of Western psychology and counseling theories and approaches stem from a White, European viewpoint, experiences and symptoms of marginalized groups are also evaluated by this same perspective (Sue & Sue, 2016). Furthermore, Hays (2015) stated, “psychological assessment involves standardized procedures that have been developed and shaped by dominant culture, which largely ignores or dismisses cultural influences.

    Words never fade. Whether they help or hurt an individual, words influence his or her thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors long after he or she hears them. Even though Mother Teresa has passed away, her work and quotes influence me as an aspiring social worker. She once said, “I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples” (as cited in Bradberry, 2015). Mother Teresa worked in the slums of Calcutta, India with the poor and the outcasts. Even though her outreach was limited, she influenced the entire world by creating ripples. I desire to be a social worker that continually welcomes those who need empowering while simultaneously creating ripples to the broader society.

  • Strength And Weakness In Social Work

    274 Words  | 1 Pages

    As a social worker, I consider it an honor when people walk through my office door and even more so when they do it continuously I know it is hard to reach out when you are struggling. I have had the struggle many times in my life. As with me, I know there needs to be a sense of feeling safe in order to start the process of dealing with. why my office threshold was broken. I think Courtois and Ford (2014) hit the head on the nail when it comes to personal safety and safe relationship being critical to the process to begin working with traumatized individuals. One of the first priorities when working with someone who has experienced trauma is to make sure safety outside of the office isn’t endurance to healing. If the person is dealing with domestic violence, parents abusing them or suicidal thoughts they won’t be in learning mode but survival mode. Another consideration is creating an atmosphere in the office that the person feels safe to discussing these issues in the first place.

Unfortunately, we understand there are many members in today’s society that are not receiving social justice. Some may not want help and believe that s/he is able to do it on their own and then there are the individuals that we may not know about that could really use our help. Our jobs as social workers is to help those who need help no matter if they are rich, poor, disabled, white, Hispanic, it does not matter because everyone should be treated equally.
