The misconceptions about social work and social workers seem to be the same across the board, but with some variations.
If you have a kind heart, that’s all you need to become a social worker. Having a kind heart is great for anyone, but social workers need much more than this to get through a day. Social workers are highly-trained professionals who hold a degree in social work at the bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral level. Additionally, a social service employee, caseworker, assistant, or volunteer community worker is not a “social worker” unless he or she has a social work degree.
Anyone who does any kind of service for the public is a social worker. It is true that many people want to better the world they live in, but not all those folks are social workers. They may be politicians, volunteers, psychologists and more; but, social work is a “professional service based upon scientific knowledge and skill in human relations, which assists individuals, alone or in groups, to obtain social and personal satisfaction and independence.”
Social workers are bleeding hearts and meddlers. What is it with the heart and social work? Nothing wrong with the strong desire to help improve lives, but many factors affect the health and well-being of any community. Think about early childhood education and care; literacy and education; employment and working conditions; income and its distribution; housing; social inclusion, and a multitude of other factors. Those items are the social worker’s focus. The aim of social work practice is to promote social change, problem solving in human relationships, and the empowerment and liberation of people to enhance well-being — not to meddle.
Social workers can take your kids away. Social workers are dedicated to strengthening families in the interests of creating safe, nurturing environments in which children can grow and develop. When there is reason to believe that a child is being harmed and in need of protection, social workers in all areas of practice, like all other professionals, are obligated, under provincial legislation and mandatory requirement, to report their concerns to the proper authorities. Social workers who are employed by Children’s Aid Societies have as the exclusive focus of their work the protection of children, as mandated by provincial legislation.
Most social workers are employed in public welfare or child welfare or work with welfare recipients. About one-quarter of all child welfare cases are handled by professional social workers. About one percent of National Association of Social Workers (NASW) members work in the public sector. Professional social workers practice in many settings: family service agencies, mental health centers, schools, hospitals, corporations, courts, police departments, prisons, public and private agencies, and private practice. More than 200 professional social workers hold elective office, including one U.S. Senator and four Representatives.
For mental health services, you need to see a psychologist or psychiatrist. Social workers are the largest group of practitioners providing psychotherapy and other mental health services. In fact, social workers are often the only mental health care providers in many rural and remote communities. Social work is unique among the helping professions because it looks at people’s problems within the context of their families, workplace, and communities and considers the connection between personal problems and larger social issues. Social work is designated as one of the four core mental health professions under federal legislation that established the National Institute of Mental Health. For more information, read about the differencesamong counselors, therapists, psychotherapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and marriage and family therapists.
Most social workers work for the government. Fewer than three percent of all professional social workers work for the government. About a third of all professional social workers are employed by federal, state, and local governments combined. Social workers are employed in a variety of settings, including hospitals, mental health clinics, schools, nonprofit agencies and government offices.
You can’t specialize in social work. The majority of the social work
