As a Social Worker, I just actually decided not to go on an interview with a particular agency because it is Catholic and I didn't agree with the mission statement. You have kids coming to you as the Social Worker who are pregnant and you are not allowed to talk about options with them. Even before they get in this situation you can't discuss birth control. It's really annoying. People constantly complain about teens today (especially parents) but when you can actually put preventative services in place to address these issues before a problem comes about, no one wants to back you on it. I think too many parents out there have the attitude that "my child would never do that." Well you know what, I am sure my parents still feel the same way about me and I've made a lot of choices that I wish I did differently. Oh well, this is always going to be one of those subjects that is debateable.

No, actually I'm in the U.S
(check my location
) When I work with my girls it's at a marching band camp, so I have a bit more freedom, no lesson plans and school boards. My 2 older sisters are both social workers in different counties. Now, I know with their clients they are allowed to speak with them to a limit about birth control and etc.
