Bernelee Barnard

I am a motivational social worker, who has a passion to work with people. Social justice is a big reason I pursued my role in social work, and I believe strongly in helping and advocating for others who may be unable to do so on their own.

Social work is all about giving a voice to the voiceless and helping improve outcomes in people's lives by equipping them with skills and resources needed to overcome their challenge not only for that specific challenges but also for similar challenge in the future.

I completed my 600 hours of practicals, it is not a great amount of time but our workload made sure to focus on our time management. I did casework (from low self-esteem to suicide), group work and community work (determining needs and implementing projects).

I'm currently at One stop child justice center as an Intern.

Obtained my Bachelor's degree in Social Worker - 2021
