For community work, the systemic approach and systems thinking have helped her to be mindful of the big picture, and guided her efforts to bridge gaps and advocate for clients&#8217; needs at the national level.<\/p>\n<p>Her advice for current Social Work students is to uphold the ethics of social work and be strong in one&#8217;s principles. She firmly believes that a social worker&#8217;s role is not just about settling a case and passing it on to another social worker to complete the other parts of the job but to assess and intervene each case in a holistic manner. She also advises students to continually upgrade professionally and personally in order to become a more effective provider.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alumni Highlights Ms Lee Kaiyi, Senior Medical Social Worker, Institute of Mental Health (IMH) Ms Lee Kaiyi has worked for over 9 years as a Medical Social Worker (MSW) and last year received the Promising Social Worker Award.
