Abstract
The coronavirus (aka COVID-19) pandemic has paralyzed the whole world and society as such has found itself in a health, social and economic spiral. We have come to discover how the helping professions – including social work – are undersized, undervalued and marginalized, and yet virtually essential for our survival as a society. This means that there is a growing need for a systemic reform not only in the field of social work, but also in education focused on the helping professions.
