This is the reason I revived my blog. Hai, I think all these months of writing lengthy (4-5K words) reports killed my enthusiasm for my blogposts.
Recently, such adverts are going around Singapore in bid to attract people into the profession. They are circulated by the Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports and are plastered on public buses and other social media. The posters have sparked some online debate.
I feel what we've done is to give the general public a wrong impression of social workers by labelling our clients as such. And make it sound as if social workers are such amazing top-down miracle workers.
Hais.
Oh well, to reframe the matter, any form of publicity is good publicity, no?
