Theoretical This study is supported by Family Systems Theory.

Framework : Views families as complex systems. It examines family dynamics, roles, and relationships affecting social work
students' well-being.
-Ecological Systems Theory (Bronfenbrenner) highlights how interconnected systems influence development. It can
elucidate how the family (microsystem) interacts with the educational setting (mesosystem) and broader societal
factors (exosystem) to affect the well-being of social work students

Well Being of Social Work Students
Social workers frequently have expectations of others, including assisting individuals, families, and organizations in
Argu
resolving a variety of issues in an effort to enhance their quality of life. In addition to internal expectations, which
ment
differ from person to person. The well being of social workers may be adversely affected by such expectations
ative
(Graham & Shier, 2014).

Programs in social work involve a blend of professional and academic requirements, including internships.
Compared to regular undergraduate programs, this may frequently cause more stress due to the demands on
requirements (Collins,Coffey & Morris, 2010). According to the scant study on social work students, there is
evidence that these do in fact face a variety of pressures and poor well being.

According to Michelle Newcomb (2017), a large number of students enrolled in social work programs had difficult
upbringings. The learning of self-care, which is a crucial ability for practice in the future, is the main topic of this.
Social work students who had experienced childhood hardship were interviewed, and it was discovered that they
had unmet requirements for both conceptualizing and creating self-care practices that they could incorporate into
their daily lives. Many mentioned that during childhood, self-care was not given much emphasis and there was
minimal role modeling. It is believed that teaching self-care to students who have experienced childhood adversity is
both an equitable concern and a fundamental skill for practice.

Rashida M. Crutchfield (2020), stated that homelessness and food poverty are common experiences for college
students; however, the experience of social work students in particular has not been thoroughly studied. Social work
students who were in need of basic necessities discuss their experiences, and it looks at how their need for support
affected their academic careers. The results demonstrate that students' academic, emotional, and physical well-
being encountered numerous obstacles. As they learned about their professional obligations in serving
underrepresented groups, social work students handled their own circumstances. But because they thought of
themselves as providers rather than seekers of assistance, some students were reluctant to look for resources.

Kei Nomaguchi (2020), defines that It is critical to comprehend the social dimensions of parental well-being since the
welfare of parents affects not just the parents but also the development of their children, fertility, and the general
well-being of a community. A critical analysis of research on parenthood and well-being in developed economies
published between 2010 and 2019 is presented in this article. It focuses on how parental environments in the social,
economic, cultural, and institutional domains affect the wellbeing of their children.

Benjamin Kutsyuruba (2015) Student well-being is a significant predicate of academic success. Individual outcomes
and behaviors are influenced by personal qualities and subjective impressions of the environment, meaning that
school members may not always experience in the same way. As a result, a deeper examination of the connection
between student learning, safety, and school climate is required.

Family Support

Despite
the fact that many college students experience depression or other stress
ors, it is clear from review evidence gathered from research that families
play a necessary role in helping students reduce stress and increase well-
being by supporting them. Support from parents, albeit different in kind, i
s crucial in helping students maintain healthy mental states (Roberts et
al., 2014).

A content analysis of a study that looked at how students perceived their parents support during their
college years showed that many students had good ties with their parents. Additionally, it was noted
that when enrolled in college, students regularly turned to their parents for various sorts of help
(Kolkhorst,, Yazedijian, & Toews, 2010).

(Warnock, Hargens, & Lowell, 2010). Defines that research indicates that varying parental perceptions
regarding their financial capacity may be the cause of the lack of academic preparedness.

Monahan (2019). Stated that, student in the study overwhelmingly believed that resilience was a process that
resulted from both family protective factors and childhood adversity. Because of their early experiences with
hardship, students were able to grow in their independence and resolve, which in turn helped them build resilience
and increase their capacity to handle the demands of Social Work students. Building resilience is a critical
component of social work practice and a safeguard that helps social work student manage stress and promote well
being.

According to Francis Kiruy (2020) A student's family has been linked to their wellbeing. Poor performance typically
suggests the possibility of variables other than those present in schools being the cause. The aim of this research is
to apply social learning theory to the conceptualization of the role that families and parents play in improving their
child's well-being. The family is fundamental to unit of society and has a significant impact on how people live their
lives. It offers its members receive counseling, socialization, and emotional support.

Wokocha (2019) goes on to say that there are various kinds of families, including nuclear, single-parent, blended,
and extended families. Every kind has its own strengths and challenges. Family customs and rituals can also
deepen the relationship. Amongst family members and foster a feeling of inclusion. The family can help students
become more mindful of their well being can be important to their growth as well.

As stated by Thurston Domina (2015), Over the last twenty years, a lot of effort has been put into raising parents'
involvement in their children's education. Nonetheless, there is conflicting data about the value of parental
participation. Though many research have demonstrated that parental participation is negatively connected with
some children's outcomes, policy makers and theorists have assumed that parental involvement has wide-ranging
positive implications. The results imply that while some parental involvement activities do help to prevent behavioral
issues, parental participation does not by itself enhance children's learning. According to interaction analyses,
parents from lower socioeconomic backgrounds may be more involved than those from higher socioeconomic
backgrounds.

According to Brady Thomas (2023) family involvement in a student's education is examined in this capstone project.
Despite the general agreement regarding the advantages of parental involvement in their children's education.
Therefore, how can schools create programs to encourage family participation among their students is the main
research issue for this capstone project. This capstone offers professional development (PD) aimed at school
personnel and student families as a means of alleviating the issue. The intended results of this capstone project are
for teachers to build a more inclusive learning environment and for their student to achieve better academically. This
capstone project's major objective is to establish a school climate in which the families of the students feel included,
involved, and capable of supporting their child's progress.

Families may instill a feeling of responsibility and patriotism in their children by teaching them the value of their well-
being and encouraging them to participate actively in their communities and schools (Ogheneakoke, 2014).
Furthermore, families can also support each other during times of crisis or hardship, providing emotional and
practical support when needed. However, despite the prospect of the family as a source of strength and resilience,
modern life has presented new challenges that have made it difficult for families to stay connected and supportive.

As explained by Hill (2015), developmental processes and family interactions. Academic performance frequently
decreases in the context of these changes, but academic performance's long-term consequences also rise. The
importance of families, family-school ties, and parental involvement in education in fostering accomplishment across
college levels has been emphasized. Despite the fact that there is an increasing amount of material on parental
participation in schooling

As mentioned by Jacqueline (2017) whether students are close to their families, nothing is known about the
significance of family to them. This raises a problem since it suggests that individuals entrusted with assisting
students in succeeding and being retained may not be fully aware of the threats to their academic and social
resilience or other support needs. Retention and success are thus significantly impacted by this. The study's
objectives were to close this gap by demonstrating the (varying) value of family support for students, highlighting the
circumstances in which it is most crucial, and highlighting the consequences for those who lack access to it. The
study's goal is to provide guidance for practice.

According to Mila Bunijevac (2017). In order to adhere to the integrated support system for their students, schools
must establish a partnership with parents and cultivate a shared responsibility for the academic achievement of their
children. In this sense, parents are directly contributing to a successful educational system, increasing parental
involvement and encouraging parents to support schools.

Source of stress among Social Work Students

Numerous studies have been done on social worker’s experiences with stress. On the other hand, not much is
known about the stress levels of students who are presently enrolled in social work programmes. One of the well
known biggest obstacles faced by college students is performing well academically and earning decent grades.
According to (Collins, Coffey, & Morris, 2010), stressors for students included the shift and exposure to school,
relationships hampered by the increasing demands of studying a lack of support networks, and a lack of coping
mechanisms for dealing with expectations and pressures related to academics.

( Kwi Yun, Suk- hee Kim, & Carol R. Cawasu, 2019). Stated that the purpose of this study was to learn more about
the coping mechanism and stress levels of social work students in order to develop measures to support them in
becoming more adept at managing stress levels that student in a faith biased program felt they were experiencing,
as well as their coping mechanisms and the influence of spirituality on stress levels. Across all the metrics, there was
a substantial correlation between the stress levels of students and their coping mechanisms.

As indicate by (Graham & Shier, 2014). Social Workers frequently encounter high levels of stress and even burnout
in their line of work. Compassion fatigue, burnout, vicarious trauma, and exposure to clients. Traumatic experiences
are all common among social workers, and they can all have a detrimental impact on one’s well being

According to Jones (2017) Supporting Students' Social, Emotional, and Academic Development" outlines the
consensus among scientists about how people learn. The research brief includes a series of consensus statements
that the Commission's Council of Distinguished Scientists developed and unanimously approved, affirming the
importance of social, emotional, and academic development in the learning process.

As indicate by Darling-Hammond (2018). Because of relationships and emotions have a significant impact on
learning and are a result of how kids are treated at school, at home, and in their communities, a pleasant school
environment is essential to a successful educational experience.
