Why is there a cake photo on our feed today? The answer might surprise you. Social work student Gloria shares this snap and a reflective moment from her placement at a community cancer centre: “One day, I received a phone call to our office from a person who was just diagnosed with cancer and who was sobbing on the other side of the phone. Today, the client made this cake and will bring it to our support group. As social workers, while there might be a limit to the amount of physical support we can provide, we strive to improve clients’ quality of life by addressing their psychological and social needs. I sincerely wish that my clients would not only survive but thrive." Interested in learning more about what studying social work is like? Check out Gloria's q&a in our Story highlights ⬆️
