Parents will concern themselves greatly for those students in distress. For many, academic and social issues will not be new or unknown. For many it will create hardship and conflict.

Love isn't something that is reserved for the perfect or the able , love is something that humans get to feel, period. Learn more about why I know that people with bipolar disorder deserve love.
A Splintered Mind
SEPTEMBER 20, 2021
Sometimes external forces can induce depression. They can induce panic. They can control how you see the world if you let them. I’ve got surgery coming up this week, so I’m getting my blogging in early. I want to work on my current novel when I start to come out of the anesthesia. We’ll see how that goes. In the meantime, I’m watching the crypto market implode…again.

Self-care, as a concept, was mentioned throughout my educational program; but what it actually meant and how to implement it remained a mystery. In my first few years as a social work practitioner, I learned many lessons the hard way.

Coping in Advance. If you know you are going to be watching the news and it may be triggering for you you can prepare in advance. I like to do this for all sorts of situations like when I am going somewhere new. Show up a few minutes early and get situated with your snack or beverage. Have an exit plan. Plan to turn off the TV, change the channel, leave the room, or step outside if you start to feel like things are getting intense.

Shannon Miller. Many social workers were reluctantly pushed into the pool of teletherapy as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic while others have been using this service delivery model for a while. So now that we’re doing virtual therapy, how can we do it really well? The swift emergence and staying power of the COVID-19 pandemic gave a massive nudge to social workers to move to telehealth or online services to meet the needs of their clients.

While turning on the TV or radio to hear about other countries’ COVID-19 experiences is likely to be more of a home rather than work activity, there is also some value in thinking about this professionally. Fortunately, some people have done lots of the heavy lifting for us, by working collaboratively to share their thinking. [read the full story.].

Juvenile Justice caseworkers manage cases for "best case" outcomes and "case closed" status. When they are assigned a client, the case worker monitors and supports that youth from their first offense through juvenile court, detentions and residential or other out-of-home placements. The progress of a youth through the juvenile justice system is often long and arduous from intake, booking, and registration to court action, fines, detention, sentencing, probation, and residential placement.

I want to do the happy things and enjoy my life. I want to get outside and meet new people. Maybe make some new friends here in NY. I want to go and do all the things but I also feel stuck at home. I’m tired of trying so hard all the time. I’m just tired of it all right now. My soul is tired for me and what I’ve suffered and it’s tired for all the people I meet who are also hurting.

Mami always told me, “when I’m no longer able to take care of myself, put me in a nursing home…my dignity is very important to me”. These words and personal preferences were shared, by my now 87 year-old Mother, close to twenty years ago. At the time, Mami was physically healthy, and her mind was clear and strong. Other than never driving or speaking English, she was self-sufficient and a great role model to all her six children.

A new beginning that looks an awful lot like the old one. When I set out to explore fractal art, I face a confusing array of controls & parameters. It has taken me years to develop the eye to select the best cropping, the most flattering palette, and the most interesting settings, then present them in a pleasing manner. Without this discipline, the fractal is an utter mess with no focus.

Unlike Ayn Rand who believed the world would end when she died, many of us—particularly those who devote our lives to social work—would like to live our lives knowing we are contributing something that will leave the world in a bit better shape that it was when we arrived. We are trying through our work at CRISP to influence as many social workers as possible to become more engaged in the political arena where our skills, knowledge, and values are in short supply.
Bipolar Bandit

It has taken a long time for me to come to terms with my diagnosis of bipolar disorder. It was back in 2002, after the birth of my son, that things became a little strange, shall we say. Before 2002 I had been in and out of the hospital with depression; there was the idea floating about that I was exhibiting signs of bipolar, but I had yet to have a manic phase, so they could not diagnose me as such.
