Social Work and Social Welfare Quotes

“To use the ecological perspective in the holistic, liberating way that it is intended, social workers should make use of research on person-in-environment approaches and apply the ecological perspective with: (1) a culture of listening—clients will provide information about the environments in which they live, but social workers must be willing and able to interpret it as such; and (2) attention to social support networks—by determining the sources and types of support people receive, social workers can help identify areas of strength and areas in which more resources are needed (Jack, 2012).”
