The terribly designed programs social workers have to use to document notes.

The SUPER Act is trending. Proposed #MALeg aims to remove the standardized test that Master's level #socialWorkers are currently required to take after completing their Master's Degree to obtain the #LCSW licensure level.

I am headed in a new career direction.

I just got hired for a new #SocialWork position!

Highlights:

✅️ #SocialWorkers are available to folx through a low barrier design

✅️ Is close to home (no more long commutes!)

✅️ Has a built-in hybrid model.

✅️ Masking is still mandatory.

✅️ Has an accessible leader who fully embraces innovation.

I just found my people. I can't wait to begin this journey to create change 🥳

#SocialWorkers: let's not forget to be advocates surrounding the #ClimateEmergency.

Experts are citing the wildfire smoke as a major public health concern with both physical and psychological impacts.

Those we often support are the most vulnerable - including (but not limited to) the elderly, the unhoused, those with underlying health issues, Indigenous communities, and so on.

My brand of social work is green 💚✊️

for the #SocialWorkers that I am teaching #SocialTheory it's been easier to connect with feminist theory. unfortunately when presented with specific cases to reflect on the theories we've been studying they come up with conservative initiatives. State structure is pretty embedded in our colleagues. it's gonna take a lot of effort to train independent social workers in #Mexico.

I'm so grateful for the amazing friendship I developed in both of my practicums with this beautiful woman. It does still feel a little surreal for us both to be on the other end of the MSW journey. I really enjoyed discussing our new ventures and have high hopes for the important and meaningful work ahead.

The proof copy of my next book is here!!!! So exciting to hold it in my hands!
I hope this book will be a useful tool for adopters & prospective adopters who have birth children.

this month I'll start teaching #SocialTheory to a group of #SocialWorkers. I'm going to focus on #marxism, #CriticalTheory, #feminism and #complexitytheory. Social workers in #mexico are not used to this kind of theories. Let's see what happens in the next days.

#Texas lawmakers want untrained chaplains in #publicschools

Texas #Republicans want to allow public #schools to replace trained #counselors and #socialworkers with unlicensed #Christian #chaplains.
This is a mental health disaster in the making.

Someone spent 19-20 mins. attempting to open the key-safe. Not expecting anyone, but #Carers, #SocialWorkers, the #Police, my #GP, etc. all have the pass-code as needs be. Various of these agencies have struggled gaining entry from time to time.

Whoever entered then remained downstairs. Again not overly concerned as these folk often sort out paperwork prior to coming upstairs.

Doctors and psychiatrists -- I'm doing a bit of research for a psychiatrist I know.

Are there any e-prescribing platforms (EHRs) for the United States that have a time delay function as to when they send the scripts?

I'm told that ADHD meds (and other similar controlled substances) have to be e-prescribed ONE at a time with no refills. This is making doctors who normally see a client, say, once every three months have to remember to send in the scripts once per month. Wanting a system that lets the doctor program the computer system to electronically send the scripts spaced out once per month without further manual intervention.

Thanks for any and all leads.

Rishi Sunak and Suella Braverman have had several months to implement the results of the independent inquiry into child sexual abuse. They choose to announce it just before local elections, using the dogwhistle 'grooming gangs' (most CSA happens in the home by someone the child knows). Another cynical attempt to garner votes from their dwindling racist base.

It's #worldsocialworkday and I can't think of anything more appropriate I could be doing today! I'm off to the UK's biggest #socialwork convention to talk to #socialworkers about how to talk to children about #fostercare, #specialguardianship and #adoption! I'll be talking about how to go beyond the #lifestorybook when doing #lifestorywork and how to talk to other children in the #family and support network, about adoption, #fostering and #kinshipcare.
