Lets here it for Social Workers |
|
Yesterday I donated canned food to a client without food. Today I fork over 26 bucks to pay for a heart medicne script for a client.
My cube mate just thwarted a plan by a family member to bilk out a familiy member of 150k cause he is Mentyally Retarted. His father is dying and all of sudden a long lost Aunt started to appear with lots of questions on his inheritance.
WE FRIGGIN ROCK

1. Agreed - I have the good fortune to work with SW's |
|
AND be married to one - they do, indeed rock. I can't imagine dealing daily with the stuff you get thrown at you.

Yes, social workers do rock. It's a hard job and not everyone can do it.

5. My undergrad degree is in Social Work... |
|
and I still try to live by the values I learned even though I'm working with a whole system instead of individuals.
To my brothers and sisters who do direct client care...you guys rock. I could never do what you do. Thank you for your dedication. :hug:

7. I was a food stamps/welfare/medicaid eligibility worker for 6 years. |
|
Tough, frustrating and occasionally rewarding. People who devote their whole lives to social work have my respect.
