An increase in adult social care funding next year should deliver “tangible improvements” to services, the government told councils today. Authorities should use the 2023-24 package , which the government said amounted to a real-terms increase, to go beyond tackling inflationary pressures to addressing key sector challenges, according to the Department of Levelling Up, Housing & Communities (DLUHC).

While some decisions to separate may be reached jointly at or near the same time, this is a less common scenario. The decision to separate is more often the outcome of one reaching a conclusion where being apart is better than being together. That decision doesn’t typically come easy or fast. Most often it several years in the making. With that, the one coming to the decision to separate has had a chance to come to terms with their feelings about it.

Yesterday, in a post about “child welfare” and the moral bankruptcy of social work, I noted that Alan Detlaff of the University of Houston, who has dedicated his career to fighting racism in family policing (a more accurate term than “child welfare”) had been ousted as the Dean of the university’s Graduate College of Social Work. I wrote that I have no doubt he could have kept that deanship if he’d simply used the playbook perfected by another social work dean, Richard Barth at the University of

It’s a beautiful thing seeing a parent let the barbs of an ex fall flat when before they would get stuck like grappling hooks to drag them down. When one understands that boundaries means you are not required to respond to the noise of another and that their noise is not a reflection of oneself, one finds their own power. That power is not over another, but in the protection of oneself, worn like a shield with which nonsense slides off.

The lottery is a common entertainment source that can quickly become addictive. Playing the lottery can become addictive when an individual develops an unhealthy compulsion to engage in it. While purchasing lottery tickets occasionally does not indicate an addiction, playing the lottery excessively can become an addiction. Playing the lottery activates the same pleasure centers in the brain as substance use disorder and other compulsive behaviors, causing some people to engage in it unhealthily.

Given the benefits, cost-effectiveness, and scalability, it's no surprise that corporate cloud investment has skyrocketed in recent years. Currently, more than 90% of businesses are using the cloud. While the corporate sector thrives on the cloud, it's only natural for non-profits to follow suit. In recent years, many social services, including child welfare, senior citizen care, and juvenile justice, have moved to the cloud to take advantage of this technology.

By Carrie Dorn, MPA, LMSW. NASW Senior Practice Associate. At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in January 2020, the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services first declared a 90-day public health emergency (PHE). The PHE declaration allowed flexibility in health care funding and regulations to respond to the pandemic. Since January 2020, the PHE has been renewed 11 times and is currently in effect through mid-January 2023.

From counseling individuals with mental health disorders to helping vulnerable children and families access critical resources, behavioral health professionals perform a wide range of important work. But while there’s no question that these professionals are an irreplaceable part of every community, far too many go without them due to the mental health workforce shortage.
