Aha now I know why I bonded myself to you all those years ago. Thank you. My story is from an Aboriginal mission to a dirt floor tin shed to getting through high school just by turning up regardless of the lack of uniform and books. The name calling was the norm and I blocked it out. I was after the knowledge. I had Aboriginal knowledge, but I needed the non-Aboriginal knowledge. I have had an interesting life and know that I have helped in some areas. Now I am retired much too early I think, but medical advice says its time. I am still in contact with people and now walk/sit in the parks, chat and give information to homeless people or to anyone. Stay well Vittorio. Glenice

Your words so resonate, I thank you for your story.
Mine is not pretty, abuse & FV until I graduated as a SW. The freedom of thought & my feminist beliefs & MH treatment ideologies mattered. Therapy first. Bullying & stigmatisation followed. I am fortunate, I became a private practitioner as a result. I remain proud of my achievement.
Thank you Di O’Brien

Indeed we do squabble but I do agree, at the heart of our social work profession we care about helping those less fortunate than ourselves, about social justice, equality and advocacy.
From Bowlby to Maslow and everything in between, we agree about more than we disagree about.

Kind regards,

Gerald White.
