Who of us won't need to know about addiction issues? Or child welfare? Or mental illness? Or family issues? Child abuse? It's important to have a little knowledge of all, and also the knowledge of where to find out more.antiSWerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07500867187473208284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7369945627807634027.post-26566861269649129902008-09-01T23:02:00.000-07:002008-09-01T23:02:00.000-07:00I agree with Reas - I think mental health covers a...I agree with Reas - I think mental health covers almost all areas of Social Work in some way or another..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7369945627807634027.post-79720107787044434262008-08-31T21:06:00.000-07:002008-08-31T21:06:00.000-07:00Interesting on the mental health class.

Seeing as a good portion of people with whom you will work are likely to have mental health issues (and I'm not about just the clients here! =) ) it would seem to me that class should be required. <BR/><BR/>Good luck!Tanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16310224569736431703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7369945627807634027.post-10414100330710665812008-08-30T10:43:00.000-07:002008-08-30T10:43:00.000-07:00It'll be interesting to hear about your thoughts a...It'll be interesting to hear about your thoughts as you go!
