Description:
A report on a national survey of social workers revealed that fewer young social workers are working in mental health settings and that social workers in mental health settings tend to be older, female, and not reflective of the racial and ethnic diversity of the client base. Retirement and increased job stressors, such as increased caseload and increased non-social work responsibilities, threaten to exacerbate workforce shortages.
