professional support and wide variety of services to people who have social difficulties, and are trained to address human needs. They can work in different settings and can specialize in working with people, groups and communities, at all stages of life, from young children to older adults. The role of a social worker varies depending on what setting they are working in, like a hospital or a school.<br /> People enter social care from many different life and backgrounds. For Laura Gomez (real name is kept anonymous), the social worker I interviewed, what motivated her to become a social worker was because she wanted to make a difference to the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the community by ensuring they get the support to live a better life.

At first, I thought he was very strict and sympathetic , as a social worker should .To become a qualified Medical Social Worker you must be hard working, educated and dedicated. Upon meeting him he seem very courteous to those around him; he came up to me and shook my hand and praised me from becoming a “fellow” social worker.

In terms of his education, he is currently in his senior year of school and is majoring in psychology with honors. When asked about a particular focus in the field of psychology, he said that he does not have a specific track, but enjoys learning about positive and community psychology. While interviewing Devin, I also learned these terms specifically about positive and community psychology and how he uses the same knowledge into his daily work. I learned that the term positive psychology refers to the strengths that allow communities and individual to thrive (Michael & Neuman, 2010). On the other hand, the term community psychology refers to how individuals relate to their community, and the reciprocal of how communities relate to the individuals (Anonymous, 2015).</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>549 Words</li><li>3 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns large-2 show-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-satisfactory-essays"><div><span>Satisfactory Essays</span></div></div><div class="small-12 medium-12 large-1-5 position-relative card-grade-essay-button-col"><a class="button text-m " href="/essay/Interview-In-Social-Work-D1D392317F9389FE">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay5"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-good-essays"><div><span>Good Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/Interview-With-A-Social-Worker-PKWNLBV3RY3Q" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Interview With A Social Worker</h2></a><ul><li>1330 Words</li><li>6 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 position-relative"><div class="card-grade-essay-preview-col show-for-large"><a href="/essay/Interview-With-A-Social-Worker-PKWNLBV3RY3Q" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Interview With A Social Worker</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">For this assignment, my partner and I decided to interview a social worker whom led me to develop my aspiration for this career.

He stated six particular duties: provide child safety, child welfare, family care, community development, assisting individuals and being a go-to person to fellow clients (personal communication, January 27, 2016).</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>1175 Words</li><li>5 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns large-2 show-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="small-12 medium-12 large-1-5 position-relative card-grade-essay-button-col"><a class="button text-m " href="/essay/Interview-With-A-Social-Worker-FKLJCDW3PTDX">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay7"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/Personal-Statement-A-Career-As-A-Social-572E16C8E3DE1201" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Personal Statement: A Career As A Social Worker</h2></a><ul><li>507 Words</li><li>3 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 position-relative"><div class="card-grade-essay-preview-col show-for-large"><a href="/essay/Personal-Statement-A-Career-As-A-Social-572E16C8E3DE1201" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Personal Statement: A Career As A Social Worker</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">This career is important to me because it allows me to connect to people in a different levels, as individuals and as families.

I was obtaining my bachelor’s degree in social work for the pass to law school and the passion of making an impact to those who are in need. After a couple of classes in the social work program, volunteering, and doing research, I found out that this was meant to be for me. I continued with my desire of helping those in need and willing be helped.</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>752 Words</li><li>4 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns large-2 show-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="small-12 medium-12 large-1-5 position-relative card-grade-essay-button-col"><a class="button text-m " href="/essay/Becoming-A-Master-Level-Social-Worker-FKXZSCW3TU5ZW">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay9"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-better-essays"><div><span>Better Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/My-Interview-Of-A-Social-Worker-FKZ3STWXG3D5" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">My Interview Of A Social Worker</h2></a><ul><li>1587 Words</li><li>7 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 position-relative"><div class="card-grade-essay-preview-col show-for-large"><a href="/essay/My-Interview-Of-A-Social-Worker-FKZ3STWXG3D5" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">My Interview Of A Social Worker</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">According to the National Alliance on Mental Health , “1 in 5 children ages 13-18 have, or will have a serious mental illness” and “50% of all lifetime cases of mental illness begin by age 14 and 75% by age 24.

I also choose this career path because being a social worker grants you the privilege of working with all kinds of populations who struggle for rights (social justice) and resources, from poor and homeless, this would allow me to use my voice to advocate for their needs. Also, becoming a social worker, allows me to help these individuals, who have been abused emotionally, mentally, and physically at the hands of people who were supposed to protect them. I can be the voice for these individuals, I can put a smile on their face, and I can make their frown upside down.</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>642 Words</li><li>3 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns large-2 show-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="small-12 medium-12 large-1-5 position-relative card-grade-essay-button-col"><a class="button text-m " href="/essay/Personal-Statement-A-Career-As-A-Social-F07B6D1E4804D4D0">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay12"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-good-essays"><div><span>Good Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/Interview-with-a-Social-Worker-FKH3D3CVC" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Essay Interview with a Social Worker</h2></a><ul><li>2249 Words</li><li>9 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 position-relative"><div class="card-grade-essay-preview-col show-for-large"><a href="/essay/Interview-with-a-Social-Worker-FKH3D3CVC" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Essay Interview with a Social Worker</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">With a strong interest in child welfare, there was no question that my interview with a social worker would involve someone who is involved in this area of practice. I did a small amount of internet research and discovered the All Nations Coordinated Response Network (ANCR) in Winnipeg. I discovered that within the Child and Family Services system this agency is generally the first point of contact. With an interest in front line work, I decided to make contact with this agency in hopes of scheduling an interview.

Either Social Workers are in hospitals helping patients, homes, helping kids, or community centers helping others, since they are always seeing different dynamics of people. This can be quite challenging at times for Social Workers because there are so many emotional cases that tug at a person 's heart. For example, a Social Worker may be assigned a case to help a 5-year old boy in an abusive home, but if something pops up where the Social Worker cannot help him, this may cause some emotional pain on the person. While that may be hard at times, when a Social Worker does get to help (most of the time), there are feelings of satisfaction in their hearts.</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>1716 Words</li><li>7 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns large-2 show-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-good-essays"><div><span>Good Essays</span></div></div><div class="small-12 medium-12 large-1-5 position-relative card-grade-essay-button-col"><a class="button text-m " href="/essay/Why-Is-It-That-A-Tv-Commercial-F3779B3984HQ">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay14"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-good-essays"><div><span>Good Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/The-Seven-Types-Of-Social-Work-FCVJHDA8PXB" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">The Seven Types Of Social Work</h2></a><ul><li>1530 Words</li><li>7 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 position-relative"><div class="card-grade-essay-preview-col show-for-large"><a href="/essay/The-Seven-Types-Of-Social-Work-FCVJHDA8PXB" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">The Seven Types Of Social Work</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">Social workers advise, mentor, and support many of those who need help in different aspects of life.
