Document Summary

In an msw program, you will discuss your preferences with your field instructor. You may have to go on interviews for your field placements: placement settings can be any setting that has social workers in it. Your social work supervisor at your field placement is trained to work with students: some examples are; hospitals, schools, mental health facilities, hospice, courts, cps, Individual and family services: growth in sw, good news! A 25% rate is expected for social work employment. Job growth is a result of increased demand for social services. Assess whether the individual or family possess the means to do without a particular kind of help: the issue with the means testing is that it is not impartial. It is up to the social services worker, judge, etc. to decide if they feel the person/family is eligible for services.
