Few would dispute that social work is the profession of hope. It is, after all, the profession that works with the marginalized and disadvantaged. Clark discusses that regardless of the reason for entering the field of social worker we come to the profession with an essential hopefulness. Without hope this profession would cease to exist (2017).
This is Arthur’s story of hope – a central core value of the social work profession.
