Forbes, Amy (2017) The 3C's of mental health in Social Work: competence, confidence and compassion. James Cook University. Knowledge about mental health and the skills to work effectively with consumers who have mental health problems are basic requirements for contemporary social work practice. This research and accompanying video highlight that in the current context of practice and the challenges faced by the profession, by embedding the 3Cs – competence, confidence and compassion in social work education, social workers will be able to re-orient their practice frameworks, respond to the challenges with a new lens and become an effective multidisciplinary team member.
