Social workers face some of the hottest issues in our society today.
Poverty, abortion, abuse, women's rights, and public assistance are part of the daily fabric of life for counselors and social workers. Social workers need to understand what shapes reactions to these issues and to the people they affect. Most people enter the field of social work because they are concerned for others welfare. But being a Christian social worker takes more than tolerance and empathy. You need to understand how your faith shapes your stand on issues and how it directs the way you serve others.
