    Yes. My husband is a social worker and works in a housing-first organization. He has 25 formerly homeless clients, all of whom are dealing with some form of substance abuse and mental health issues. Yes, he deals with exactly what you just said every day of his life.

    Whatever your anger is has nothing to do with social workers and honestly sounds like someone who listens to too much Fox News.

      I don’t do fox news or any other conservative outlet.

      Again in nearly 20 years in the back of the bus, just like Jesus I have never had help from a social worker at a scene. But I have had such group homes like your husband works at call 911 so me or someone like me could deal with people who they couldn’t control though. I guess it was better to have me get assaulted than themselves - been there, done that, got the tee shirts…
