abstract: 'In recent times in Australia there has been a slow but steady trend
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
among mental health services to employ generic mental health workers
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
from a variety of professional backgrounds. These workers undertake the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
jobs that were traditionally assigned to social workers. Although many
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
social workers compete successfully for these positions, a question that
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
needs to be explored in the contemporary service and policy context is
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
social work''s distinct contribution to the field of mental health. The
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
present paper argues that social work''s distinct contribution may lie in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the area of psychiatric recovery, especially those areas that link
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mental health with broader social issues, such as employment and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
education. The present paper will discuss the role of social work in two
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
areas of recovery, namely supported employment and education. These are
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
emerging areas of practice and social workers must take advantage of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
these opportunities.'
