Jim McFarland Juliet shares 5 Amazing
Facts About Social Workers
1. Social workers do more than just help people
2. Social workers are in it for the outcome,
not the income
3. Social workers contribute at all levels of society
4. Social workers have to make hard decisions
5. There are male social workers
1. Social workers do more than just
help people
Having a passion for helping others is important,
but being a social worker requires so much more.
People who are experiencing the most vulnerable
time in their lives rely on social workers to connect
them with resources and find solutions to complex
problems.
2. Social workers are in it for the
outcome, not the income
Being a social worker is not going to make you
financially rich. Many professionals are drawn to
the field because they are passionate about helping
others and doing meaningful work. That said,
social workers deserve competitive compensation
packages for the valuable contributions they make.
3. Social workers contribute at all
levels of society
Social work is a broad, diverse field where the work
extends across many settings. These professionals
work with individuals, families, schools,
universities, nonprofit agencies, corporations,
hospitals and government agencies.
4. Social workers have to make hard
decisions
Making decisions that impact peoples’ lives is a
huge responsibility for social workers. Above all,
safety is the number one driver of those decisions.
Most social workers collaborate with families,
fellow staff members and other stakeholders to
explore all possibilities and make well-informed
decisions.
5. There are male social workers
Many think women dominate the social work field.
However, there are lots of male social workers and
many are in leadership positions. The country
needs more men in the social work field. Social
work requires a balanced, diverse mix of people
able to help a diverse population.
Thank
You !
