I just have to say that the people I am privileged to support amaze me every day.
They often credit me for their victories.
However - they deserve the credit. Their willingness to engage in the work has created the shift. I highlight and celebrate this often with folx.
It gives me joy to see people walk out of my office feeling a sense of control over their own lives again.
This is the art of social work.

What have I just learned ? (We're supposed to go on 12th of July, next week.)
The project, who's been seen by our hierarchy many times, is not accepted because our other colleagues from the other team didn't do their work ? Which means, 10 kids won't go to the Rollercoaster Park.
And I sincerely feel like I'm the only one bothered and furious about the situation.

A little explanation is needed.
I'm a social worker and I work with kids who are neurodivergent (autistic, ADHD) and have intellectual deficiency.
I'm off work for three days due to a bad angina infection.

#Juneteenth is supposed to be a day of freedom. But, when I look around, particularly in certain states, I fail to see that freedom. While it's true that I am looking from a lens of a certain level of privilege due to my race, I cannot help but be empathetic for those that are not being given the dignity and worth they deserve as a human being. I want to do what I can to help those who are struggling. I can't understand how anyone would want to do anything less. It's the #SocialWorker in me.
The Kindle version of "Adoption After a Biological Child" is live in the UK! Paperback coming soon! Both will be available on all Amazon sites within the next few days.
This book has taken a lot out of me, but it will be worth the emotional drain if it helps people. 😅🤞

Just a reminder that I donate royalties from sales of my "Delly Duck" notebooks to Home for Good, a UK-wide #fostering, #adoption & supported lodgings #charity.
So if you're looking for a gift for an #adopter, #socialworker or #fostercarer, please consider one of these notebooks!
You can find the notebooks by searching for my name on Amazon (any country).

I've started including a stamped, addressed ✉️ (to #postadoptionsupport) with every contact letter I send J's birth family. Let's remove the barriers we can, to make contact easy.

Zoe's World Book Day costume is... Herself, as featured in "Adopting a Little Brother or Sister" by... Us! 🤣
The big sister character in this story was strongly based on Zoe, and she illustrated the book, so it's very close to our hearts 🥰

We're all stressed. We're all overworked. I get it. But when I have a question and the gal doesn't want me to question anything, says on the other end of the phone, "Okay bye," and hangs up, your credibility as a licensed social worker just went out the door for good. #MentalHealth #SocialWorker

To a #socialworker in social care, you have the contacts and instruments of power. I was experiencing controlling behaviours of my carers, I told you I was depressed and without independent care or housing. "get practice being independent"? Fuck you. You continue to set my life back years. You could have done SOMETHING. Modest help with transport was a start. YOU get practice at your job.
