Retired social worker here. I've worked with intellectually handicapped adults, special needs children, family and child services, senior services and palliative care. (and probably one or two others that don't pop into mind just before I go to bed)

My career always gave me much more than I was ever able to give in so many ways. I'll never regret having chosen it, though the field has changed tremendously since I started down the road many years ago. It's largely an invisible profession, in that people often don't talk about the services they receive, and we have a strict code of confidentiality, but I'm sure of it's value to individuals and society as a whole.

Proud to have made the choice to be in the social work profession. It has only enriched my life.

Sue
