The purpose of this journal is to assess how your personal held beliefs, experiences, or biases could affect your clients as a social worker? It is important to note that we all have biases, and being aware of one's own biases is an essential part of competent social work practice.
As a group social worker facilitator for substance abuse, what conflicts that may have arisen that required you to examine your personal biases.
If none has arisen, please discuss what areas of social work practice or types of clients you anticipate being faced with that will require examination of your personal biases.
Conclude with the ways you are working to minimize the effect these biases and experiences may have on practice?
