My journey toward anti-oppressive work in child welfare

Year: 2015

Type: article

Abstract: The following narrative describes a social worker’s journey of critical analysis and struggle as a worker in the bureaucratic framework of child welfare. The narrative describes a process of self-exploration that led the social worker through an evaluation of personal and professional values. The outcome of this journey was a reinforced commitment to the self-determination of clients, to rebalance power inequities, and refute systemic inequities.
