How many social workers does it take to change a light bulb?

-- The light bulb doesn't need changing, it's the system that needs to change.
-- None. Social workers never change anything.
-- None. The light bulb is not burnt out, it's just differently lit.
-- None. They set up a team to write a paper on coping with darkness.
-- None. It's not in our budget.
-- None. It is no longer a reimbursable activity. You must first define the measurable outcome you are trying to achieve and get approval from the Community Mental Health Board.
-- One. Can't really tell you why, it just feels right.
-- One. But you need letters of support from community social service agencies.
-- Three. One to do the work, one to share the experience, and one to supervise and make sure that professional work is done.
-- Five. One to screw it in, three to form the support group, and one to help with placement

    None. The bulbs must be disconnected from their sockets, in the best interest of the bulb.
