Stuck on Socialwork
MAY 2, 2021
Last you heard from me, a little over a year ago, I made the not so bold prediction that COVID-19 would shine the light on disparities and access to care. Not shockingly that came to fruition. From initial access to telemedicine services to the ongoing launch of vaccines, outcomes have demonstrated a lack of equity.
Blurt It Out

“How are you?” is a question many of us are familiar with. It’s probably the question we get asked more often than any other. Many of us automatically respond with ‘fine thanks, you?’, because that’s the response we’ve learned to give. It’s the response we heard the adults around us trot out each time they.

For a thriving practice, you need to differentiate yourself from others and present yourself in a way that attracts referrals. These days, much of that happens online, including on social media. In this webinar, Gary Direnfeld will discuss how social media marketing can help you build your private practice and grow your client base.

Creativity is a higher order thinking skill, textile crafts are great ways of processing feelings, and reflective journals are a useful tool for students, practitioners and researchers. In this blog, I shall explore how I combine these ideas, using mini textile and mixed-media collages in a stitched reflective journal, to document my reflexive journey.

One thing I have learned as an AMHP is never to show patients that you are scared. I have been in numerous situations over the years where I have anticipated danger or been threatened with harm, but have in reality been physically assaulted only rarely, and generally when I have misjudged a situation. Derek, however, was really scary. I was doing an out of hours shift in the early 1990’s when.

When Gaétan from Winnie’s Picks first approached me, asking if I’d like to experiment with a cool adult paint-by-numbers project, I was so excited and couldn’t say yes fast enough. As an avid amateur crafter (who sucks at most crafts), I have enthusiasm in spades…and painting talent in drips. This is what the kit look like when it arrived. Gaétan then let me know that I could actually paint a photo of my own choosing, and that by simply uploading a photo I loved, I could personalize my painting.

The ways in which client and therapist political values affect the therapeutic process has been a neglected factor in clinical practice, with many clinicians committing “culturally-competent malpractice” in this area (Redding, 2020). A client’s sociopolitical values (“SPVs”) are often central to their identity and can affect their relationships, including their relationship with the therapist.

People who follow my blog will know how exercised I can become about S.117 after care entitlement, especially when that entitlement is being concealed or misrepresented to patients by local authorities. Indeed, one of the commonest enquiries I receive is from relatives of people entitled to S.117 who are, to put it bluntly, being hoodwinked by local authorities who are at best ignorant of their.

First, the goals of Shelter’s Foster Care Programs are different from adoption agencies. The purpose of adoption agencies is to facilitate adoptions between birth parents and adoptive parents.

Who should be involved in deciding what school-based practice in teacher education should look like? Often it is the provider of initial teacher education – a team of teacher educators working at a central base, university or school. Including in this dialogue the school-based teacher educators who are supervising all students in their school and who work with their mentors is vital for a strong collaborative partnership to develop.

Often times the field of clinical psychology assumes a “deficit-based” approach to minority mental health. Consistent with the medical model that frequently drives assessment and case conceptualization, a deficit-based approach focuses attention on problem behaviors, “maladapted” adjustment, and psychopathology. Over-emphasizing deficits in minority mental health can be problematic for two central reasons.

Since March of 2020, the pandemic fists have been pummeling children from every direction, just as they have adults, but often in different ways. Before we can learn how to help our kids, we need to know their challenges , and there we have help.

All professionals in health, social care, or education, have personal lives and experiences that influence who their values and practice. Gaining insight into who we are, what we bring, and how this impacts on every aspect of what we do – developing reflexivity – is a critical part of any vocational student’s journey. My teaching is saturated with the why and the how of managing our ‘selves’ as social workers.
