What are the various settings? You can break them into two groups host institutuions and practice in more specifically social work. Host places are such as public schools, hospitals and nursing homes. Some where the domain is education, health maintenance, or the like. 5. Psychology vs Social Work-compare/ contrast ● Social Work is sort of a broad overarching idea of promoting wellness in both individuals and communities. Psychology focuses more upon the mental health situations through diagnosis and treatment of those. They both focus on allowing the individual to function at a good level for important reasons. Elizabethan Poor Laws- 1601 the great poor laws set the stage for gov’t. Involvement in social welfare ● The poor laws were created more for the use of helping the poor people receive necessary resources for survival. They started to care for the physical welfare, which laid the solid groundwork for the acknowledgement of problems that may arise. Social work later evolved to focusing more on the reasons for the individuals to act how they do, and how the community and environment play into people’s actions or lack thereof. Goal - SW What is the major goal of social work? Help individuals, families, groups, attain higher levels of psychosocial functioning. Promote welfare? Expound ● The major goals of social work are to create functioning members of a society, which can be done through intervention and connection to necessary resources. The Social Worker promotes social welfare, and interdependence within people. CSWE- ● To make a more unified system, the Council of Social Work Education (CSWE) was created, which oversees the teaching of higher level social work programs, creating a unified curriculum. England's influence- ● From the earliest phases, such as the Hull House, social work was rooted in traditions of those in England. Jane Addams- ● Jane Addams was the founder of the Hull House, and subsequently, the Social Settlement House movement. She strived to fix the environment by inviting others to be examples and lights in the community. Degrees-SW Types- ● MSW- Opens more doors of professional opportunity than a BSW, and is about 2 years more of targeted education than with a BSW. ● BSW- Necessary for social work professions, obtained by attending and participating in classes at an accredited school through CSWE.

Social Welfare and Social Work-similarities/differences- ● These are pretty similar in purpose, but social work focuses on both individuals and society, while welfare focuses more on the needs of the individuals. Now that you have learned basic facts about the history of social work and social welfare, let your group focus on the following critical thinking and discussion questions. Social Work was not a profession to begin with - If not a profession what was it? How and why did it evolve into a profession? Why do we need social work, why can’t we just use philanthropy, churches, charity groups, social groups, and caring citizens to take care of the people and issues found with clients social workers serve? Social Work started with “do gooders” and over time evolved into a profession? The body of knowledge that social work developed - has borrowed extensively from other disciplines and professions such as sociology, Psychology, Biology etc.Discuss whether this is good or bad and why— Pro’s/Con’s etc. Discuss the similarities and differences between “social welfare” and “social work”-Early COS workers and settlement house workers had little training, then people like Mary Richmond developed training programs, wrote books etc. on what they felt the “friendly visitor” should know to help the people they served. Thus, the education for social work evolved over time. Discuss what a social worker needs to know to work with individuals, groups, communities. Discuss how “private troubles” (individual) versus “public issues” (social environment) can be traced throughout the history of social work. Does this continue to be the case in current social work? Discuss what your group thinks social workers do, what is their main goal or mission?
