Week 5 Discussion: Continue Your Discussion
For this discussion, discuss how Flexner has influenced the social work profession.
Here are some ideas to get you started:
- What changes, if any, do you think should be made in the social work profession today?
- What changed after Flexner said social work was not a profession?
- How can a focus on the individual and a focus on social reform coexist?
- Reflect on what, if any, evidence there was of considerations that would today be related to diversity, equity, and inclusion and how that might be impacting current social work policies and practices.
Guidelines
- Your writing: Each post should show courtesy and be succinct, professional, well written, and organized, using proper writing mechanics, grammar, and punctuation.
