Social workers partner with people to address personal difficulties and structural barriers in their lives. They work with individuals, families, groups and communities. Social workers celebrate differences and the social work role itself is incredibly diverse. Social workers may support clients through:  - one-on-one counselling and case work; - group work; - community development; - advocacy; - policy; - research and education. Social workers are trained to listen to people and support them to address personal difficulties and structural barriers in their lives. #WorldSocialWorkDay2024

As social workers, each new week presents an opportunity to reflect on our core values and challenge ourselves to better embody them in our service to others. Let's take a moment to revisit the foundational principles that guide our profession: *Service:How can we extend our help to those in need more effectively? *Social Justice:What steps can we take to challenge and address social injustices in our communities? *Dignity and Worth of the Person: Are we truly respecting and honoring the inherent dignity of every individual we encounter? *Importance of Human Relationships: How can we strengthen and nurture the relationships that are central to our work? *Integrity:Are we consistently acting in a trustworthy manner and upholding our ethical standards? *Competence: What can we do to enhance our skills and knowledge to better serve our clients? Let's embrace these values with renewed vigor and commitment this week. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve. #SocialWork #CoreValues #Service #SocialJustice #Dignity #Relationships #Integrity #Competence #NewWeekNewGoals #MakeADifference WezaCare Solutions

🌟Join us in celebrating Social Work Month! 🌟 At Koinonia, we honor the tireless dedication of our social workers who champion the rights and well-being of every youth and family. Thank you for your compassion, advocacy, and unwavering commitment to creating brighter futures! "I’d like to think of social workers as sort of “trusty professional sidekicks”, swooping in with all the support, understanding, and practical help people need when things get complicated. They're like beacons of hope, shining a light through the storm, saying “You aren't alone. We’ve got this. It’s going to be alright.” Social workers are experts in relationship and connection, finding solutions, presenting options, and making sure families can find their way through all the confusing rules and systems, all while making sure the kids are safe and thriving. But it's not just about fixing things when they go wrong. Social workers are all about stopping problems before they start, getting to the root of issues, and making sure families have what they need for the long haul. Their dedication isn't just about individuals—it's about building stronger communities. So yeah, social work isn't just a job; it's a lifeline, offering kindness, support, and hope for better days ahead." -Tiffany Sickler PhD, Koinonia Executive Director Join us in celebration this month.

Share your experiences with us and let's shine a light on the transformative power of social work together! #SocialWorkMonth #SocialWork #MakingADifference #ThankYou #Koinonia

"Demography is destiny": An insightful, honest, realistic, invigorating discussion about the critical importance of social innovators and how public-private partnerships should support and amplify them! Bravo for your vision and action! I wish I could see some of this happening in Romania! This is directly relevant for educating and integrating our brown Roma population. But the need is also acute and potentially much more impactful if businesses started to address ageism and look for viable solutions for the +50 who are now starting to exit employment from multinationals or will be negatively affected by the green transition and are at a high risk of becoming underutilized, underpaid and likely to face strong headwinds and hard life adjustments within the next 10 years. Beyond medical care, what are those conditions that influence people's wellbeing whilst working & past employment, as they age, and how could these be improved? Social innovation is defined as: bold, audacious solutions to solving complex social and environmental challenges or the blurring of sectorial boundaries whereby state, markets and the civil society come together to create new and shared public value. Talent is equally distributed but opportunity is not and in succeeding to lead social innovation Cheryl Dorsey speaks about 4 critical ingredients: 1. Proximity - you can only truly learn something from being in a place; you can truly understand the issue if this is where you come from. We can sense, "smell", profoundly understand someone who comes from the same environment as we do. Then we know it in our gut; we gain insight and intuition into people are the issues they are confronted with. Social impact can best be implemented in a context, in a place. 2. Porousness - we need social innovation in order to break-down silos. Education has an impact on criminality; the external environment defines social norms; everything is connected- we need to look at impacting an entire eco-system, not just a single area. 3. Pride - will lead social innovation; you care about where you come from so place-based social innovation is logical 4. Purpose - see what is possible and what others have not seen yet The 2023 Trust barometer identifies businesses as the most trusted actor in solving societal issues. This generates a tremendous responsibility for businesses to become a mechanism of change. As change moves at the speed of trust, businesses are clearly best placed to support social innovation. Social change is difficult to scale because of the complexity of the issues being addressed and also the inputs and headwinds are very different and much stronger than for regular business products: we are talking about no returns, marginalized individuals, complex social matters with no obvious, immediate benefits in terms of profits. Social innovation is hard to scale. Blended capital is seen by Echoing Green as the most viable solution for driving social innovation.

Improving outcomes through social innovation is a topic that has gained increasing attention in recent years, especially in the fields of health and social care. Social innovation is the process of developing and deploying effective solutions to challenging and often systemic social and environmental issues in support of social progress. Social innovation can involve new ideas, products, services, or models of care that address the needs and aspirations of people and communities. McKinsey & Company

🌐 Navigating the Balance: Understanding Restrictive Practices in Social Care In the realm of social care, finding the equilibrium between ensuring safety and upholding individual freedoms is a nuanced journey that requires empathy and collaboration. 💙 🛑 What are Restrictive Practices in Social Care? In our field, there are instances where restrictive practices become a consideration to maintain safety and well-being. These practices, though necessary at times, prompt reflection on how we can strike a balance that respects personal autonomy. ⚖️ Striking the Right Balance Balancing safety with the fundamental respect for individual rights is an ongoing challenge. It calls for collaboration among social care professionals, service users, and their families. Our commitment is to promote interventions that are least restrictive while ensuring a secure and supportive environment. 🌟 The Person-Centered Approach A person-centered approach is fundamental to our work. Each person's unique needs and preferences guide our interventions, fostering communication and empowering individuals to actively participate in decisions about their care. 🤝 Open Dialogue and Continuous Improvement Engaging in open dialogue is crucial. It allows us to learn from experiences, adjust strategies, and collectively work towards minimizing the need for restrictive practices. It's a commitment to transparency, learning, and evolving as a compassionate social care community. Let's continue this conversation. Share your insights and experiences, and let's explore how we can shape a social care landscape that values both safety and individual dignity. 💬 #SocialCareEthics #individualsrights #empathyinaction
