With this issue being present in social services, it can raise concerns about the effectiveness, competence, and equality of care they are receiving, and the overall well-being of children and their families as well. One thing that can lock hands with addressing this issue would be trauma-informed and culturally competent approaches. This actively acknowledges the historical and current impacts of systematic oppression for the BIPOC community, and the underlying racism within the system many people do not believe exists. Racism is very much alive and well in our systems and societies today,

Reflective Journal Entry #1 My experience as a school social worker is integral in shaping my perspective on contemporary social work issues impacting individuals, groups, organizations, and communities.

By “acknowledging and recognizing, confronting, and addressing pervasive racism within social work practice at the individual, agency, and institutional level, and promote culturally competent social work interventions and research methodologies in the areas of social justice, well-being, and cost-benefit outcomes.” (Blank, 2013) The NASW supports cultural competence, which means people of different culture, class, background, ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, religion, physical, and mental abilities, and anything among those areas are protected in a way because racism or any type of discrimination is not tolerated at any level whatsoever.

An approach that I plan on employing within my future social work practice, is the anti-oppressive approach to social work intervention. This approach is incredibly important to comprehensive social work practice, and completely assisting a client with the social problems or discrimination that they may face within society. Anti-oppressive practice is employed in situations where the client is a victim of discriminatory power structures (Sakamoto, 2005). I will particularly be focusing on how discriminatory power structures impact racialized and visible minorities. The discrimination and mistreatment of visible minorities is widespread within contemporary Canadian society, as often times societal structures benefit dominant groups and mistreat

Modern social workers are frequently tasked with certain objectives by their agencies, which leave little room for any work beyond specific treatments and timeframes (Gitterman & Knight, 2016). Although social workers are bound to the set of ethics put forth by the NASW, practitioners are often limited to focusing on the issues of the individual rather than the larger societal issues that may be behind those concerns. Additionally, many social work students end up working in direct practice, rather than macro work. There is a need for social workers to engage at the macro level in order to facilitate community organization and empowerment. Critics suggest this theory may not take into account the unique experiences of each individual and perhaps key characteristics of the individual or group are not taken into consideration (Sadan, 1997).
