Excerpt from A Guide to Friendly Visiting, Vol. 1 The Friendly Visitor may be likened to the one who has to compound this prescription - namely, to carry out this definitely formulated plan outlined for him at the Conference of Friendly Visitors or case committee with the privilege of modifying it or substituting some other way with the full co-operation of the Conference or central office of the Associated Charities. Friendly Visitors not familiar with lines of social work would rather have concrete facts than abstract ideas of the various ways in which the task of rehabilitation of individual families can be accomplished, the various obstacles to overcome and, above all, how to gain the confidence of the man or woman with whom they come in contact without the danger of being looked upon as a new source of revenue instead of a true friend in need.
