Assignment 1: Critically Reflective Essay
Essay
The domain of social work in mental health is that of the social context and social consequences of mental illness. The purpose of practice is to restore individual, family and community wellbeing, to promote the development of each individual’s power and control over their lives, and to promote principles of social justice.
Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW) (1999) Development of Competency Standards for Mental Health Social Workers. ACT: AASW, p.23

What are the core principles, values and strategies for working with the client or population group that underpin the practice of your particular discipline in this area? How would you describe your own preferred model of practice? What are the current contexts, interventions and principles you see as guiding your work in the field of mental health? Finally, how might your preferred model of practice contribute to a socially just, rights based practice?
