Conclusion: Holding the Light in a Darkening World
摘要
This concluding chapter reflects on the precariousness of the current time in which social workers are practicing. It acknowledges the loneliness and helplessness this can engender not only in workers but in all humans. We are in uncertain times where our purpose can seem unclear, or even without meaning. This chapter reminds those who are reading it that they are not alone, that they matter, and that social work can offer something to use as a strength and focus. In this way social workers can be seen as having the power to be a guiding light, not through heroism but through turning up to do the difficult work demanded of us, even when times are hard.
