Abstract
The discourse of mental health issues faced by unemployed social work graduates: Implications for social work training in South Africa
THEME 4: Social Work Education, Transdisciplinarity and Curriculum Development
SUB 4.2 Strategies on building responsive social work curricula.
Oral Presentation
Research shows that South Africa is increasingly engulfed by the scourge of unemployed graduates wherein social work graduates are of no exception. Whilst this challenge is alarming, the country encounters an increase in social problems which justifies the need for social work practitioners. The writers argue that social workers remain a critical component of the country’s labour force. The writers further argue that whilst the country encounters a vast number of unemployed social work graduates, very little has been explored on how such affect their mental health. Thus, this integrative literature review paper provides a critical analysis of mental health issues affecting unemployed social work graduates and implications for social work training in South Africa.
