Part 1: Reading

What do social workers do?

Social workers work with adults, children and families and often specialise in a specific field of work – such as support for children and families, or working with adults with physical disability or mental health related needs. We help people make changes. We often work with social networks, families or communities, as well as individuals, and help develop supportive relationships.

If you are working in children and family services, you may work with children in care (also known as ‘looked-after children’). Children who have experienced or are at risk of abuse, children with health and mental health needs - and with their families. This may include helping families experiencing difficulties to resolve their problems.

If you are working in adults’ services you may work with older people, people with learning or physical disabilities. If you work with people with mental health problems, you’ll focus on promoting independence, wellbeing and having control over their lives, including accessing their entitlements to welfare support and/or to be in employment. You may also support adults who have substance abuse problems, have offended, are living with HIV or Aids, or are involved with the criminal justice system.

How can I help someone with depression?

Depression is a serious but treatable disorder that affects millions of people, from young to old and from all walks of life. It gets in the way of everyday life, causing tremendous pain, hurting not just those suffering from it but also impacting everyone around them.

If someone you love is depressed, you may be experiencing any number of difficult emotions, including helplessness, frustration, anger, fear, guilt, and sadness. These feelings are all normal. It’s not easy dealing with a friend or family member’s depression. And if you neglect your own health, it can become overwhelming.

That said, your companionship and support can be crucial to your loved one’s recovery. You can help them to cope with depression symptoms, overcome negative thoughts, and regain their energy, optimism, and enjoyment of life. Start by learning all you can about depression and how to best talk about it with your friend or family member. But as you reach out, don’t forget to look after your own emotional health—you’ll need it to provide the full support your loved one needs.

What is ‘cultural awareness’?

Cultural awareness, or cultural sensitivity, is being aware that cultural differences and similarities exist, while not judging people based on that. A non-judgemental mindset lets you observe cultural differences without labelling them as ‘good’ or ‘bad’, or ‘right or wrong’.

This doesn’t mean that you have to be an expert in other cultures. It just means being willing to be open-minded and to ask questions to get more information, rather than having a knee-jerk reaction to anything you don’t agree with.

Part 1: Reading

What is domestic violence?

Domestic violence is violence committed by someone in the victim’s domestic circle. This includes partners and ex-partners, immediate family members, other relatives and family friends.

The term ‘domestic violence’ is used when there is a close relationship between the offender and the victim. There is usually a power gap between them. The victim is dependent on the offender. Domestic violence can take the form of physical, sexual or psychological abuse.

Forms of domestic violence

The following are forms of domestic violence:

  • Child abuse
  • senior abuse
  • Honour-based violence such as honour killings
  • All forms of abuse by an intimate partner or former intimate partner, including psychological abuse and stalking.

Victims of domestic violence

Women form the largest group of victims. However, men, children and elderly people can also be victims of domestic violence. Domestic violence occurs at all levels in society and in all population groups.

Abuse is usually deliberate, but not always. For example, sometimes people can no longer cope with caring for relatives. The situation can then escalate and result in abuse.

 

Exercise 1: What do you think domestic violence is?

 

Exercise 2: answer the question about the text

Answer: Help people in need.

  1. What is domestic violence according to the text

  4. Name examples of domestic violence

 

Physical and sexual abuse

Physical abuse occurs when physical force is used against you in a way that injures or endangers you. Physical assault or battering is a crime, whether it occurs inside or outside of a family. The police have the power and authority to protect you from a physical attack.

Any situation in which you are forced to participate in unwanted, unsafe, or degrading sexual activity is sexual abuse. Forced sex, even by a spouse or intimate partner with whom you also have consensual sex, is an act of aggression and domestic violence. Furthermore, people whose partners abuse them physically and sexually are at a higher risk of being seriously injured or killed.

 

Exercise 3:  True or false questions about the text

Example question: Social workers work with people?

Answer:True

  1. Physical abuse is abusing someone sexually?               True/False
  2. Abusing someone is a crime?                                         True/False

  4. People who are physically and sexually abused are at a higher risk of being killed?                                                                         True/False
  5. The police have no power or authority to protect people from physical attack                                                                                      True/Fals
