My Brains Not Broken
SEPTEMBER 13, 2022
I was writing a post a few weeks ago when I ended up using a term I rarely think about: self-stigma. It’s not that it’s a foreign concept to me, but I don’t think I’m very comfortable using the term or understanding it well when it is used. That’s why I decided to do a little research to learn about self-stigma, how it shows up in our lives and how we can deal with it.

Over the last couple of years and through my own foresight journey (as a social worker and a human)…I’ve found emerging language regarding the future to be really interesting, illuminating, sometimes troubling, and valuable. Sometimes there are words that are more “pop culture” words that emerge from the mainstream (they are a little like popcorn…not much substance).

Agile working practices such as hotdesking are failing to meet social workers’ needs in Scotland and employers should review them, a study has concluded. Approaches in which people are not allocated a fixed desk and work at different times and locations depending on need have become increasingly common, but practitioners are consistently negative about them, found a five-year study into newly qualified social workers published by the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC). .

Thousands of nonprofits rely on case management software to help collect data, manage programs, coordinate with agencies, and provide life-changing health and human services. Adopting a cloud-based case management platform is essential for nonprofits and government agencies to operate more efficiently and make better use of their funding and budget.

There’s a new crop of students, now in first year university. Among them are students whose parents carried them through high school. Now in university these students are realizing there is an increased work load and yet far more independence. Some of these students will slack off. The work won’t get done. If or when the parents get wind of the lack of progress, some parents will be angry, some worried and yet some willing to “help” their young adult child meet their acad

Getting to know ourselves is a lifelong journey – full of twists, turns, surprises and disappointments. What doesn’t matter to us one year could be monumentally important the next, and so on and so forth throughout our lives. I used to think that learning new things about myself was more cinematic. Time would slow down, and my moment of clarity would spring forward.

The regulator said it was, consequently, reasonable to review levels, in a consultation paper on the new strategy, published last week.

Some kids develop tremendous anxieties that emerge at bedtime. It could be of someone stealing them away, the death of a loved one, fire, etc. The origin of the fear may be unknown or it may be traceable to an actual event, be it through a friend, news report, family experience, or even just a TV show or YouTube video. Most parents will do their best to soothe their child through their fear.

The belief that dementia is a normal part of the aging process is familiar. But it is not true. “It is a common misconception in society that it is something we should all expect and something that happens to almost everybody,” says Natalia Shtompel, PhD, MSW. “But it’s not the case.”. Dementia is not a normal part of aging, she says. It is a disease that is linked with neuropathology in the brain.
Speaker: Gary Direnfeld, MSW, RSW.

I have thought that no one would want me if they knew the real me for, oh, my whole life. It's not because I'm an ax-murderer or puppy-hater or anything; it's just because I'm me, and "me" is very messy, indeed. The inner life of a bipolar can be torture. And then there's whatever Natasha has to offer on top of it. And then there's Ehler's-Danlos. And then there's fibromyalgia.
