Change is inevitable no matter what you do and where you are. It’s ok to be upset, mad, frustrated and then we have to adapt.

Engaging with and advocating for the individuals you serve is an inherently natural service. Although challenging, the gratification of selflessly contributing to others' well-being is immeasurable.

Stay updated on the latest research, trends, best practices and relevant policies in social work by engaging in education and training. Attend workshops, trainings and conferences to enhance your knowledge and skills.

Penso que o aprendizado é sempre fonte de inspira??o e provoca reflex?es que podem transformar a prática profissional. Seja você um recém-chegado ao servi?o social ou um veterano na área, acreditamos que sempre há algo novo para aprender e compartilhar.

Expertise of colleagues is not a threat to you! Use their expertise for your benefit, work together and share knowledge and skills!

Na minha experiência procuro oferecer orienta??es práticas para enfrentar os desafios e situa??es complexas que podem surgir nesse campo. Mesclar sabedoria prática com uma vis?o dinamica e humana do servi?o social, refere insights valiosos baseados em anos de experiência e aprendizado contínuo. Profissionais novos ou veteranos n?o devem hesitar em procurar supervis?o e apoio de colegas quando enfrentar desafios complexos ou emocionalmente exigentes. O compartilhamento de experiências e a orienta??o de colegas podem ser valiosos recursos de apoio.

Muito importante tratar sobre esse assunto pois atualmente é quase que obrigatório o conhecimento tecnológico para qualquer área de atua??o do servi?o social uma vez que o mundo está informatizado e praticamente todos os instrumentos e registros s?o realizados de forma digital. Temos que agregar conteúdo tecnológico no currículo como aprendizado contínuo.

Na minha experiência penso que o cotidiano de um assistente social seja uma constante busca de atualiza??o de normativas e legisla??es. Isso pode com certeza aumentar a eficácia da interven??o e promover melhores resultados para a garantia de direitos dos usuários atendidos. Uma dica é sempre consultar sites governamentais onde as altera??es s?o realizadas na íntegra com a reda??o da última publica??o.

Learning is a lifelong journey without bounds, offering endless opportunities for growth and development. Seeking support from others when needed is not only commendable but also essential for personal and professional advancement. As social workers, proficiency in utilizing technology for field data management is indispensable, recognizing that "data is the new oil" in today's context. Staying abreast of policy changes within our field and actively networking further fortify our capacity to drive positive change in the realm of social work. This multifaceted approach ensures that we remain agile, informed, and empowered to make meaningful contributions to our communities.
