Synopsis
Social work courses provide the foundational knowledge needed to become a child welfare professional. However, this book offers something different—it reveals the realities of working in child welfare that no classroom can fully prepare you for. Many enter the field believing they have the answers and can transform every case they encounter. The truth is both humbling and inspiring: meaningful change often occurs one small step at a time. Hence the title, Trying to Save the World... One Piece at a Time. The world of child welfare can be harsh and unpredictable. It may involve encounters with firearms, aggressive animals, threats of violence, heartbreaking losses, and even the death of children. Yet it can also bring extraordinary moments of hope, resilience, and success as children and families overcome immense challenges and achieve outcomes beyond anyone’s expectations. This book is not written for academics or researchers. It is written for those who want to understand the realities of the child welfare system and the challenges caseworkers face every day. Each of the more than twenty chapters recounts a true story from my thirty-plus years of experience in child welfare. To protect client confidentiality, all names, locations, and identifying details have been changed.
