Stepping up Counseling Responsibilities in a Socially Unjust Society Michelle M. Burnside Liberty University Abstract Social Justice has been an emerging issue over the last century in today’s service environment of helping professionals. Social Justice is a mindset and an action for change. Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia defines social justice, as “the ability people have to realize their potential in a society where they live.

Jane Addams Through her sheer grit, fierce tenacity, creativity, and integrity to affect social change and improve the living conditions of those improvised, oppressed and exploited, Laura Jane Addams, who can be described as the quintessential social worker, stands as a true leader in the area of social reform in the United States during the Progressive Era and a source of inspiration to all modern day social workers who follow in her legacy of work. Jane’s contributions include the development of Hull House, the first settlement house in the United States. She was also advocate for women’s suffrage and a key player behind the establishment of safe and fair working conditions for women.

She was also cofounder of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (Adams, Jane, 2008).

For this task I have been asked to describe how anti-discriminatory practise is promoted in health and social care settings, this meaning action taken to prevent discrimination against people on the grounds of race, class, gender, disability etc. anti-discrimination practise promotes equality by introducing anti-discrimination policies in the work place. It is important that health care workers promote equality, value diversity and respect the rights of service users always putting the service user at the heart of the service provision. This meaning that the service user’s individual needs will be meet and achieved . Care workers, also need to have an understanding of what it would be like to use the services, with this all the service
