Have wanted to be a social worker for many years, have a degree and was looking to do a MSc.
However, doing voluntary work with a family who are in a very chaotic position, who won't help themselves, ie getting pregnant again whilst effectively homeless. Not taking control of things which will make a big difference in their current situation.
It isn't a case of can't, but won't help themselves, perhaps ingrained.
Am I being unreasonable ? Or are there good reasons why people just won't help themselves?
