 BRIEF INTRODUCTION
For the longest time, Filipinos have overcome natural
disasters like typhoon, earthquakes, fires, floods, volcanic
eruptions and others and we always have each other to
make it through. The innate nature of being a Filipino is to
be both emphatic and sympathetic to any hardships
experienced by our fellowmen. And in this time of
pandemic, no is spared; all are affected. However,
everyone wants to help one another, because as a member
of our community, we are bound to support those who are
in need in our society even if we, ourselves, are also in need
of help.

DISCUSSIONS

Lesson The Discipline of Social Work

1
Even in our small way we can always find means to
support those who are in need. Anyone can help others.
But a hands-on profession that does well in extending help
to the underprivileged member of our society and that it
involves rigorous field of training and study is called Social
Work. According to the International Federation of Social
Workers, “Social work is a practice-based profession and an

7
academic discipline that promotes social change and
development, social cohesion, and the empowerment and
liberation of people.
Principles of social justice, human rights, collective
responsibility, and respect for diversities are central to
social work. Underpinned by theories of social work, social
sciences, humanities, and indigenous knowledge, social
work engages people and structures to address life
challenges and enhance wellbeing. The above definition
may be amplified at national and/or regional levels”. Thus,
it is an academic discipline and profession that concerns
individual adjustment to his/her environment referred as
social functioning.

GOALS OF SOCIAL WORK

The National Association of Social Workers has
conceptualized social work practice as having five major
goals by Zastrow (2009), which can be classified based on
the 3C’s of goal as stated by Dela Cruz (2016)

• The Goal on Caring- this is to develop a sense of

personal and societal safety and security by offering
public service through social welfare programs. o Links
people with Systems That Provide Them with
Resources,
Services, and Opportunities o Promotes the
effectiveness and Humane Operation of Systems
That provide People with Resources and Services
o Promotes Human and Community Well-Being
• The Goal on Curing- this is to have a holistic
development for physiological, psychological,
emotional, and intellectual growth for the deprived
8
 members of the community o Enhances the Problem-
Solving, Coping and Developmental
Capabilities of people
• The Goal on Changing – This is to ensure that social
justice and human rights are being honored by the
individual, the society and the government and be able
to design social welfare program to meet its need.
o Develops and Improves Social Policy

SCOPE OF SOCIAL WORK

The widened scope and field of social work is a result of the
vast array of human problems and it is connected to
different branches of social science. Dela Cruz (2016)
identified and described the field included in social work.
Scopes are specified but not limited to the given items.

PRINCIPLES AND CORE VALUES OF SOCIAL WORK

These serve as a guiding value on how the members of
the organization shaped their behavior and action in
interacting with their clients and other people. As
mentioned by Dela Cruz (2016) the Council on Social work
Education identified and described six (6) values that are
shared by the profession of Social Work; (1) Right to self-
fulfillment (2) Responsibility to Common Good (3)
Responsibility of the Society (4) Right to Satisfy basic Needs
(5) Social organizations required to facilitate individual’s
effort at self-realization (6) Self-Realization and
Contribution to Society. While he stated, seven principles
adhered by the social workers: (1) Acceptance (2) Client’s
Participation in Problem Solving (3) Self-determination (4)
Individualization
(5) Confidentiality (6) Workers Self-Awareness (7) Client-
Worker Relationship.

ROLES AND FUNCTIONS OF SOCIAL WORK

As what has been said earlier, social work is a
discipline and a profession guided by its principles. It is
also present in varied settings. With this context, it is
assumed that the roles and functions of social workers are
likewise diverse.

CASE 1: Ana is a senior high school student who, like
everybody, is affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. She
graduated with honors in a virtual graduation of her school.
His father, an OFW, whom she has not seen for five years
was expected to attend the graduation ceremony but failed
to come home due to the pandemic. Her mother, a typical
housewife that does buy and sell for additional income was
considered Persons Under Investigation (PUI) due to the
virus and had to be quarantined. Unfortunately, she
needed to be hospitalized eventually. Now, all alone in the
house being the only child, and with all these unfortunate
circumstances happening to her, she felt that her world
was falling apart. Moreover, she started blaming herself and
developed the idea that she was cursed. Consequently, she
started to disconnect herself from the outside world, even
with her friends. She was afraid that others might be
included in her “curse” of misery and misfortune if she
talked to them.

CASE 2:
Due to the pandemic, the government imposed nationwide
quarantine which resulted to increase of domestic
violence .One of the victims of domestic violence is Maria, a
15-year-old girl, who also acts as the mother to her eight
siblings after her mother passed away. Her father earns a
living as a cook in the school canteen. But due to the
pandemic crisis, her father lost his job and there was no
source of income for the family. What makes Maria suffers
the most is when they are all beaten up by their father
especially when he is under the influence of alcohol. Her
father hits her and her siblings when she cannot give a
single penny to him, and when there is no food to eat.

BRIEF INTRODUCTION

20
 You may not notice them, but social workers are
everywhere. Just like the variety of individuals, families,
and communities so is the field of social work. They can be
found in every angle of our community life because it
includes a variety of specialization areas. Social work career
paths look different; it includes a variety of disciplines and
workplace settings depending on the type of social work
professionals want to conduct.

DISCUSSIONS

Going through all these world health issues, we can

see that frontlines are everywhere. Frontlines do not only
include doctors, nurses, and police offers or army personnel
but also those individuals who are trying to win this war
against COVID-19 Pandemic. Social workers are also
considered frontlines. Social works can be found in many
faces and areas of specialization. Social workers perform
their roles while bounded by the values, rights,
responsibilities, and accountabilities which determine their
ethical behavior towards their clients.
