Abstract

The values and ethics of social work are frequently cited by students as affirming and why they choose this discipline. A health and mental health unit often prompts students to disclose their own or family experiences with illness, diversity, discrimination or oppression that brought them to the course. Social work education needs an approach that recognizes the marginalization of some students and supports their integration into peer group and discipline. A secondary gain is better preparing all students for empathic, skilled work with minorities. A process that is internal and not external to the student will enhance consciousness raising, and a USA approach has recently been trialled in an Australian context.
