Encompass beliefs and ideals that individuals hold dear. Personal values guide individual behavior and reflect real differences across cultures, occupations, religions, and political orientations.
Professional values are specific to one's work environment

Core personal values guide our practice and approach to addressing social issues such as social isolation and building inclusive communities.
The six core values outlined by the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) - service, social justice, dignity and worth of the person, importance of human relationships, integrity, and competence - serve as foundational principles for social work practice
These values guide them in navigating complex situations involving clients with diverse needs, highlighting the importance of upholding ethical standards.
