Last March in honor of National Social Work Month, we asked “What Inspired MSW@USC Students to Become Social Workers?”
This year, we want to know what do social workers do to keep going through good times and bad?
Have you ever felt like this?
“I’m in a glass case of emotion.” – Anchorman
Every social worker will have a bad day, but you push ahead because you know how important your work is to countless individuals and communities.
