Have you ever wonder what does a Community Services Society do?
Well, Community Services Society basically carry out social work to the targeted community they are working at.
Definition of Social Work:
The social work profession promotes social change, problem solving in human relationships and the empowerment and liberation of people to enhance well-being. Utilizing theories of human behavior and social systems, social work intervenes at the points where people interact with their environments. Principles of human rights and social justice are fundamental to social work.
- International Federation of Social Workers (IFEW)
Social Work is a dynamic and multi-faceted profession that works towards enhancing human well-being and social conditions. It is a profession governed by the ethical values and principles and based on theoretical body of knowledge and systematic approach of assessment, intervention and action plans. That is to say, there is Right and Wrong in this world governed by the Absolute TRUTH. Thus Social Work is not about accepting people’s belief, but accepting the person and helping the person to return to the Absolute TRUTH.
A Social Worker works at different levels and with differing target clients. The work could be developmental, preventive and also remedial. Clients range from individuals, families, groups and larger communities of society. We work with people from all background. However, we will correct any wrong mindset that is damaging to the world we are living. Islamic Fascism is something that has caused many people to become coward including the Muslims. Thus it is important that anyone with a heart to make this world a better place needs to rise up and voice up instead of becoming coward.
A Social Work career begins with a Bachelors degree in Social Work. Post Graduate, Masters and Doctorate degrees provide a pathway for further professional development. However, that does not mean you must need a degree to serve others. The key is to have a heart to serve others. If the purpose of getting a piece of paper is to get income, then you have missed the mark.
Social Workers in Singapore are found in a variety of work settings. Predominantly, they will be involved in case management, working with individuals and families in Family Service Centres, Community Development Centres, Prisons and other Corrective and Rehabilitation agencies, Hospitals, Hospices and other health agencies. They are also involved in Policy making, Teaching, Management Training, Social Research and Human Resources Management. Others work specialise as counsellors or psychotherapists.
