Submit a 1page paper in which you:
- Reflect on your experience responding to the Short Understanding of Substance Abuse Scale statements. To what extent do your responses align with the personal attitudes you noted earlier? What, if anything, surprised you?
- Consider the implications of your personal beliefs and attitudes in the context of social work with clients with substance use disorders. How might your attitudes influence your professional role as a strengths-based practitioner? In what ways might your attitudes support or conflict with social work values and ethics?
- Be sure to refer to both the NASW Code of Ethics and the NASW Standards for Social Work Practice With Clients With Substance Use Disorders in your paper.
