Early Morning Thoughts

In the Black and White of Early Morning Light

I love the early morning when an idea crystalizes. Ideas and comments flow from problems I have been working on. Relevancy to Social Work, always.

Insights, knowledge and tips from collective works, enhancing professionalism and commitment to clients. Social Workers are citizens with specialized knowledge; we motivate communities and educate groups. Policies are the framework within which we practice our craft, the limitations beyond which we go in the care of our clients.

What is social work? for me it is the work the client and I do together that makes the client more social, that is, more connected to community.
