Social work is a rich and rewarding profession that is also demanding and complex.
At the Center for Social Work Education at Widener University, clinical social work is a primary focus. Ultimately a very human experience, clinical social work involves a coming together of the social worker and client, each in context and for a specific purpose. Easy to say, often a challenge to do. Given that challenge, I am interested in creating with social work students a learning atmosphere and experience that will help develop social workers who can be reflective and reflexive. By reflective, I mean social workers who can be curious about the interface of all the factors influencing their work with clients and systems.
