Sig Line/social workers

[Guest guest]

Hi Jill,

 

My religion must be different than yours....since it's not irrelevant to their issues and their story. And I don't force anything on anybody ..... my clients are happy with my services and I am happy serving them. Have a nice day!

Abortion...the worst form of child abuse!

[Guest guest]

I have been lurking and learned a lot from this group as well as enjoyed

your humor. I now feel obligated to share another point of view of social

work. I also am a social worker. As stated in the NASW code of Ethics, I

do not bring my religion in to conversations with my clients, as my religion

is irrelevant to their issues and their story.

I also support my clients in their decisions. I may have my own feelings,

but since I have never been them in their situation, I can not fully

understand what they are experiencing. If I did have conflicting values, I

would not be working with them for fear that I may intentionally or

unintentionally persuade them to my beliefs.

I wanted to share this with you so that if anyone reading this board does

come to a point in their life where a social worker would benefit them, you

will know that we are to be supportive of people without our personal

beliefs influencing us. Unless of course, you go to an agency that is based

on certain faiths or beliefs, but that is an exception.

Jill
