JYL...I am telling you from "inside" experience as a social worker, that I have come across many, many of them who really have no idea of the pain and suffering we are going through. It's *so* odd, because one of the prime characteristics of a SW is supposed to be empathy. Yes...there are some good ones of-course too. But many also are so absolutely, blatantly anti-medication, and have little if no trust of medical science. In the field of addictions I have found the worst. They think Prozac=Cocaine, and may rush you threw a 28 day program where you are supposed to do all of this trivial work on reshaping your life, yet many participants/consumers are in such wrecked mental health even making coffee is hard. Then they pull this "..pull yourself up by the bootstraps" garbage. Many of the social workers are ex-addicts themselves, and hence many develop a "If I can do it..so *should* you.." attitude.
Anyhow...my .02 cents Canuckian.
Best and peace,
Jay
