- The social justice framework is bases on principles of equality, oppression, privilege, and social inequalities. While engaging in community work, counselors should work to empower individuals and family units to fight for their needs as well as advocate with them and on their behalf as related to inequalities they may expeirence within their communities (Crethar, H. and Winterowd, C. , 2012)
- According to Steele (2008) counselors must be able to work outside of schools or traditional clinical settings to remove societal barriers which could hinder human development as well as mental health. Community workers should strive to change the conditions that may affect the individual not only change the person who is affected by the conditions. In order to change these societal conditions counselors should recognize that their own cultural make-up is the basis of how professionals perceive the world as well as the methods that are taken in their professional relationships (Corey, Corey, and Callanan, 2011)
- Hansaker (2011) explained that possessing multicultural competence is essential in understanding cultural appropriateness of advocacy interventions. Community workers should possess social justice competencies to actively promote the well being of individuals and groups of a specific community which may be different from their own culture.
- Community counselors active involvement in community outreach and advocacy are examples of interventions that could promote attention to social justice issues. Counselors should be encouraged to expand their knowledge of helping behaviors beyond those related to providing individual counseling (Constantine, Hage, Kindaichi and Bryant, 2007).
- Constantine, et. al (2007) explained the roles of advocate, change agent, consultant, and advisor embodies the basis for social justice through client empowerment and advocacy. Counselors serve as change agents and advocates when they actively communicate with community organizations or institutions which disenfranchised individuals or groups of people perceive as oppressive to their well-being.
- In being a facilitator of native support systems, community workers should be aware of cultural factors which could be vital in contributing to a client’s problems or resources which may help alleviate the client’s issues. Some client’s may benefit more from working with counselors that are able to serve as facilitators of indidenous support systems or healing methods some low acculturated individuals may not feel comfortable with helping relationships with counselors who are not members of their native framework of helping. By adopting these facilitating roles, counselors should be aware of the importance of indigenous cultural resources, that could provide assistance that is congruent with the client’s worldviews (Constantine et. al., 2007).

Just like working with families and individuals, communities possess limitations and resources which establish coping mechanisms to deal with its issues. The community should trust in its own ability to change as well as take responsibility for its inactions or actions in order to generate change within the community (Homan, M., 2008)
- http://ctb.ku.edu/en/tablecontents/sub_section_main_1165.aspx Acting ethically may have some particular advantages in community work. Ethical implications could lead to making a program more effective, grounds the professional standing within the community, allows for the moral high ground when arguing the merits of a specific program, exercises moral leadership within the community, and it assures dood standing both legally and professionally (Rabinowitz, 2013).
- http://www.socialworktoday.com/news/eoe_101402.shtml Ethical dilemmas involve community workers delivery of services to individuals, families, and community groups. Typical ethical dilemmas may involve disclosing clients personal information without informed their informed consent and limiting their rights to self determination against their own wishes. Other examples of ethical dilemmas which community workers could encounter may include administrative decisions about the allocation of limited agency resources, conflict of interests amongst staff member which may involve the solicitation of the client, and the community workers response to a colleague who has behaved inappropriatley or who is considered impaired or incompetent (Reaner, 2002). Corey, et. al. (2011) explained that ethical violations in a community agency are more difficult to resolve than violations regarding individual counseliing.
- In community work, the lack of workplace support and limited opportunities for professional development are some stresses community workers deal with while carrying out their professional and ethical responsibilities. The subjective psychological feeling of emotional exhaustion involves feeling of being stressed, emotionally overexerted, and drained by one’s own work. These feeling may cause inadequacies relating to job performance which may include lack of professional efficacy, job satisfaction as well as the intent to resign. When community workers are challenged with high volumes of caseloads of community needs or organizational demands are excessive, emotional exhaustion is a major concern (Acker, 2012).
- Perceptions and interceptions of events in community work is regarded as an important contributor to the experience of stress. While engaging in community, professionals bring their own coping strategies , which they may do in the absence of knowledge about their workers personal coping strengths ( Morgan and Hues, 2006)
- Various forms of social support could also aid in dealing with stress in community work. Lloyd, King, and Chenowerth (2002) explained that social support could act as an intervention between stress and job dissatisfaction. Supervision could be a major form of support for community workers who often turn to their supervisors for assistance with caseloads or help with futher development of work related skills.
