The titles are necessary, but they are not enough to practice Social Work. A high level of competence is required to establish relationships of trust with others, and this capacity is not studied, it is developed with time and effort.
It is necessary to have solid principles that act at all times as a beacon that guides action, with dignity and social justice being of great importance.
​
It is necessary to understand the person as a whole, and be flexible enough to submit your ego to the uniqueness of the people you help.
