Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Social work is a profession predicated on helping others in a manner that supports all persons' inherent dignity, worth, and self-determination while simultaneously endeavouring to achieve social transformation towards social justice and liberatory aims. This study explored the role of compassion in social work through qualitative interviews conducted with thirteen registered social workers engaged in direct-practice social work in Atlantic Canada. Findings point to the importance of considering the role of compassion in multi-level social work practice in diverse contexts. Recommendations regarding incorporating compassion into social work curriculum, child resilience and protective practices, and exploring how compassion can be meaningfully integrated into community and policy contexts are presented.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
