Professional Philosophy Paper

I have attached the instructions for this paper through a word document titled “SWK 354 Professional Philosophy Paper”. In this paper, you will see that it requires information and discussion regarding the self-care assessment and self-care work sheet that I have completed. Please use this along with both the self-care plan paper that I have completed and the summary of the self-care plan paper. I have also added an attachment of the social work ethical principles for you to see. Once again, you will find all of these attached via word documents. Also, please make sure to follow the directions in regards to the sources using at least 3 peer-reviewed journal articles. You are welcome to add more if you feel that the information is needed.
