Open letter from A
,j Social Services Worker * 7
By Wanda Austin
In the past eleven months in which I have worked as a social
worker in the Family and Children's Unit of the Social Services
Department, I have been struck by the fact that very few people
I meet have any idea what social work is. At best, I hear, "What
do social workers do?" At worst, I have heard strange and un
true rumors. /
This is not surprising. One of the peculiarities of social work
as a profession is that it has no clear-cut image in the public eye.
Because I believe good work is being done, which informed peo- .
pie would support, I would like to tell a bit of what we do. j„-
There is a great deal more to a Social Service agenpy than giv
ing out checks—which, by the way, can only be given when there
are children wthout one of their parents, or a father is too disabled
to work, and there are no other resources available.' (There is
a great deal of red tape and paper work, as our tireless secretaries
know). But financial aid can be of no lasting help imlpgg accom
panied by services to help the family function better as a family,
aid to solve, if possible, the problems which keep a father from
being a wage earner. If this is not possible, 'we still try to pro
mote family stability by helping to meet health, educational and
other needs.
Additional areas of work are prescribed by our State Depart -
ment of Social Services, and all of these are to promote family
stability. ■ _
We work with runaway children, who have often run away be
cause of serious problems in the home, such as alcoholism, quar
reling or abusive parents, severe conflict with their parents, or
other serious conflicts. Unless these basic problems are worked
with, the child will run away again. Sometimes we must proviefe
a foster home for the child. In this case, casework services must
be provided to the foster home parents as well as the child, for at
best, the addition of a new persdh to a family requires adjustment.
Unless the foster family is helped with this, they or the children
may have to be seen in mental health clinics, as I know they have
in other counties which do not provide follow-up foster care ser
vices. At the same time, help must be offered to the child's ova
family, so they can change and look forward to having their
child home again.
Unwed mothers are also helped by Social Services. Often
these are young girls who are not promiscuous, and if given under
standing help, will not berepeaters. For those without funds, re
sources can be found to help them go to maternity homes, away
from curious eyes and gossip, where they can be given a second
chance. These girls need casework help, as illegitimacy is often
connected with feelings of conflict, of one kind or another, with
their parents. Better under standing of their own feelings can help
them work out more constructive plans for their future.
The Social Services Department is also responsible for proba -
tion work. Most of our juvenile offenders are boys, who have
never learned to read well, and become school drop-outs. There
are few constructive alternatives for them here, and they take out
their sense of frustration and worthlessness in acts of vandalism
and drinking. Here, too, there ffefs often been conflict in the
home for many years--from wfiich the whole family suffers- - and
to help the boy we must work with the family. These boys have
usually become mistrustful of adults in authority, but we are for
tunate in having a male caseworker who is sensitive to the needs
and feelings of these boys, and able to relate well to them.
Much of foster care work is with young children, usually from
broken homes. Because of their experiences, they often have
developed behavior problems, and foster families must be helped
to understand and cope with these. Foster families must be recrui
ted before they are needed, so they can be studied and selected
with care.
We also work with the Juvenile Court, and are required, by sta
tute, to be present at all Juvenile Court sessions. The judge may
request information, investigation or a full social study before he
makes a decision. We have had a good working relationship with—
Judge Braswell, who has our highest respect.
Adoptions must be approved by the Department of Social Ser -
vices, which involves many visits and careful home studies. Oc
casionally a family must be helped to find better ways of achiev
ing what is best for all. Since adoption is a legal process, it re
quires care in helping to see that proper procedure is followed.
A full description of our activities would take a much longer
article, but perhaps it can be seen why we often wish—as Judge
Ikaswell puts it—that we had the wisdom of Solomon. It takes a
lifetime to learn all there is to learn about social work, and every
bit of training helps. We share the problems we face, with each
other, trying to pool what wisdom and knowledge we have man -
aged to acquire. We sometimes refer clients for psychiatric eval
uation, to help us understand better what the basic problems are,
or for psychological or vocational evaluation, to help us understand
what potential the client has which we can help him to use.
All of these services take time, but In the long run, they save
the public money. And the run isn't really all that long. It takes
only about sixteen years for the child of an AFDC mother who did
not receive adequate services to come to us as another unwed mo
ther, needing support for her child. Most of the problems which
come to us have an underlying reason. Unless we have an oppor
tunity to work at this reason, the problem comes up again and
again, costing more and more in terms both of money and human
misery, frisons and mental hospitals are full of people who gave
indications in many ways, at a younger age, that they had prob
lems with they needed help. Preventive social services are a bar
gain; prisons and mental hospitals are very expensive to the tax
payer.
Perhaps it would not be inappropriate for me ,to point out that
I have seen evidence that the social services given in this county
are above average. State Department personnel have commented
on this to us. Our Child Welfare Consultant also te 11s us this,
which is much-needed encouragement, since we often cannot see
die results of our efforts for some time. I recently learned that
in another county, not one individual used the available mental
health services for a whole year, for lack of transportation. That
would not happen here.
I hope this may help to clarify what our social workers have
been doing. It is challenging work, and well worth the effort it
involves.
