How do Social Workers make a difference?

When personal or professional relationships are conflicted, or break down, there is more often than not a negative impact on the interpersonal (between people) or intrapersonal (within the person) system. This is generally because the trust that existed there has been lost, and this will have a negative impact on the person, relationship or situation. Sometimes it can't be remedied, but most times it can. 

​

​​​Whether the disruption happens within a person, a couple, or a system of connected people, Social Workers take the time to examine relationships, looking at all aspects of each person's situation: level of personal power and choice, personal strengths and capacities, any specific areas identified as needing change or further development.

​

Each issue can then be addressed and a way forward is formulated together, identifying any additional external supports needed along the way. Support systems are available in community, but if a person doesn't know where to find these or how to access them, they often remain in the dark with little hope for change.​​​​​​ ​Our Social Worker will take the time to work with you, to problem-solve and to find solutions that fit your particular situation. They will offer supports and pathways that make sense in relation to your environment, your preferences and your specific abilities. ​
