9628 W State Street, Star, ID

Ms. Linda Rogers-Perkins works as a social work specialist in Star, ID.

"I had been seeing Linda Rogers-Perkins for counseling. I attempted to contact regarding appointments and I never heard back from her. I figured if she wasn't going to return my phone calls, then I would request my records so I could transfer them to a different counselor. I never got anything back. This is unprofessional and I would hope others would make sure she would actually be available to see for counseling. "

What is Social Work?

Strongly influenced by the concepts of human rights and social justice, social workers are professionals that help vulnerable individuals, families, and groups in need. Social work can include a variety of different jobs or careers, but in essence it involves meeting people in their home environment, identifying the issues that are causing social problems for them, and connecting them with the right resources to improve their well-being.

Social workers may work for organizations, in hospitals, in schools, for the government, at senior centers, in private practice, or in any number of public or private institutions. Many social workers choose to work with specific populations, such as children, the elderly, or the poor. Often, social work is about creating healthy communities in order to improve the lives of all people.

Some of the issues that social workers may come up against in their profession include:

Violence
Poverty
Abuse
Discrimination
Illness and lack of access to healthcare
Drug and alcohol addiction
Divorce
Death and grief
Unemployment
Disability
Mental illness
Family dysfunction

Social workers are advocates for social change. They educate clients to prevent problems from occurring or worsening. They empower others to develop to their full potential.
