Thoughts from the human rights perspective

Article Abstract:

Family rights have been a rapidly growing concern of late, with about 1,400 mainly grassroots organizations and over 27 international groups in more than 100 countries embarking on efforts to protect these rights. This seemingly sudden interest in the rights of families is not a cause for celebration, since the sheer number of organizations and programs involved in these human rights suggests the continued violation of these rights. Child protection professionals and individuals should contribute their effort to stop this growing social menace and work at restoring, protecting and promoting family rights.

Stress and mental health social work: a developmental perspective

Article Abstract:

Social workers exhibit a relatively low level of stress despite high exposure to stressful situations. This is because social work attracts individuals who have high stress coping mechanisms which include a 'people-centered' characteristic that ultimately produces personal fulfillment that acts as a de-stressor. Increased responsibility and involvement are recommended as a means of counteracting stress induced by passivity and depersonalization.
