Social Work Career

The career I chose was Child, Family, and School Social Worker. They offer assistance to children, youth, and their parents and guardians. Child, Family, and School Social Workers provide social services and assistance to improve the social and psychological, and academic functioning of children and their families. And to make sure their well-being is good. What that means is if a parent doesn’t take their kid to school, the child gets abused at home, the parent doesn't take care of them, and doesn't do anything for the kid then a Child, Family, and School Social Worker would step in. They would interview the parents, kids, and other people to figure out what is going on and what would be best for the child. They also can assist single parents who need help raising their kids, arrange adoptions, help find foster homes for neglected, abandoned, or abused children. If you work in schools then you would address problems like teenage pregnancy, misbehavior, truancy, and substance abuse. If you decide to be a Child, Family, and School Social Worker then your job would consist of a lot of things. Those things are: Counseling individuals about mental health, substance abuse, poverty, unemployment, physical abuse, child care and medical care. Whether
it groups, families, schools, or communities you would still talk to them about it and find out if they need help. You would talk to people and business likes doctor offices, schools, families services, protective services, and others to make sure if a child or parent needs help you can send them to them and they will take care of the child or parent. If people did come to you for help you have to talk to them and if you can help them then help them and if you can’t refer those people to places that can help. The work experience, training, and college for this job is pretty easy and what you get paid is good but it could be better and it’s not the worse thing.
You have to have a bachelor's degree in Social work, no training is needed, and there is no experience. The knowledge you need for this job is to know how to give people therapy and counseling, psychology, and to know the english language. The abilities you have to have or oral comprehension, oral expression, and to be problem sensitive. The skills you need to have this job or make this job easier for you are, active listening, speaking, and reading comprehension. What you get paid is $39,010-$59,220 a year in the state of Ohio and $18-$28 an hour in the state of
Ohio. I think this career is a good choice for me, it’s something I’m really interested in and hope to do once I grow up. All the stuff you have to do would be fun in my opinion, and I would love to help people in need. I also would love to help struggling families and children to get back on track with their life. To help find kids who need a family and a forever home a home would be really cool and awesome to be apart of.
