Social workers and mental health professionals aren’t going to help when the problem is poverty
That’s where you’re wrong. Both social workers and mental health professionals can ABSOLUTELY help you reach out to get the help you need and make you better equipped to deal with and change the system, leading to a reduction in poverty. It’s less of a band-aid on a broken leg and more one small but extremely beneficial piece of a huge puzzle.
…And that’s what’s helping, not the social workers. Ain’t nobody got time to be fighting for change when you’re working 14 hour days just to be able to make rent.

So you want to preserve an injust system because that selfsame system is holding you down?
It’s not the worst argument I’ve heard for maintaining the status quo, but it sure as hell isn’t a good one…
