I don't know how social workers do it. I just couldn't. When I worked at a juvenile facility for boys as a teacher. I was devastated when one of the boys was sexually violated by 3 of his roommates. I finished out the year and realized I couldn't do it. Whatever you needed for that top of work, I didn't have it and I couldn't pretend. Thank you for sharing your experience. Honest and raw, but that's what we need to know about this type of career.
