The development of strong, vibrant, and healthy communities has long been a tenet of the social work profession.
The roles of social work in the community and society are not measurable and cannot be over-emphasised. Social work is a helping profession. The primary mission of the social work profession is to enhance human well-being and help meet the basic and complex needs of all people, with a particular focus on those who are vulnerable, oppressed, and living in poverty.
Ambassador Justina Orie on social work informed our correspondent that: Social work is a dynamic profession; the longitude and latitude of the profession are vastly widened. The direct roles of social workers begin with practising primary social work methods.
Primary methods are the participatory method with the individual, group and community. Secondary methods are both participatory and non-participatory to benefit society at large. Therefore, the social worker’s role is widened to a better individual, group, and community.
Social workers may play all of these roles in different contexts and at different times in their careers and tio that effect, she wants feedback sent to her by e-mail address: info@ethenempower.org or by phone at: +2347058396085.
