On Tuesday, the 24th, Santarém in western Pará will host a conversation circle to discuss the challenges faced by social workers in the region. This discussion is scheduled to start at 7 p.m. at the Escola Fluminense and takes place against the backdrop of the elections for the Regional Council of Social Work in Pará (CRESS-PA). The event aims to provide a platform for both dialogue and critical analysis of the profession's current landscape.

The conversation will include contributions from Dr. Daniela Castilho, a social worker and professor at UFPA, who is a candidate for the presidency of the Council representing the 'Resist, Fight, and Advance: CRESS throughout Pará' slate. Among the pressing topics to be covered during the event are the undue requests faced by social workers and the contemporary challenges within their professional roles. The session aims to foster an open environment for listening and sharing experiences among professionals in the field.

This event highlights the ongoing challenges that social workers encounter, particularly as they are often pushed to undertake responsibilities that go beyond their professional mandates, sometimes compromising ethical standards. By addressing these issues in a communal setting, the conference seeks to empower social workers and reinforce the importance of adhering to ethical principles while navigating the complexities of their work environment.
