Social work is dependent on trust. It is elemental to any
advancement because social work forces individuals to work with others on a profound
emotional level where some level of resistance is present at the outset. The ability to
trust another is what allows bonds to be formed and allows progress to be made. If
trust is not present, there is a greater chance that individuals will not be able to
surrender a part of their own identity in the hopes of making something more collective
or more communitarian. The notion of individual sacrifice is only possible through
trust, through the idea that individuals will be able to sacrifice a part of their own
comfort for the sake of something outside of it or something larger than themselves, is
only able to be undertaken with the element of trust present.
