The old saying is that an army runs on its stomach. Likewise, programming and treatment require resources to occur, to be implemented. Regardless of the line items, the unifying element for all of these is the funding that pays for it. Hence, the fifth component of Social Work is Funding.
The search for funding actually requires that one understand and have developed and written about program, background and experience, and even the more mundane tasks to operate any type of social work practice. Hence, understanding that there is an extra Social Work component and how it acts as an organizer for the others will put practitioners in good stead moving forward.
