Nurses have one of the most in-demand roles in healthcare, and with a 6% projected job growth rate through 2031, the demand for nurses to fill both vacancies and new roles is only increasing. Given the current and future need for nurses, healthcare organizations must focus on recruiting new nurses, but perhaps more importantly — keeping their nursing staff engaged in clinical practice.

Psychological trauma is an emotional or physical response to a distressing event or series of events, such as accidents, assaults , or natural disasters. Many people experience trauma in their lifetime and everyone can experience this differently and there is no ‘right way’ to respond to a traumatic event. The overarching experience is that an individual’s situation overwhelms their ability to cope.

I have mentioned many times to be cautious about seeking counseling for a child whose parents are separated and where one puts the child in the middle and says inappropriate things about the other parent. Placing that child in counseling may make matters worse. In that scenario, the child may be subject to more inappropriate coaching to prepare for each session.

A senior adults’ practitioner has lost his bid to stop Social Work England obtaining a family court judgment that found he abused his ex-partner. The High Court ruled last week that it was right for the regulator to see the family court judgment because the need for public safety outweighed the social worker’s right to respect for his privacy.

Unions are threatening strike action over the £1,925 pay offer made by council leaders to social workers and other local authority staff for 2023-24. UNISON, which represents an estimated 40,000 social workers across the UK, said it was balloting its members to gauge whether they would consider striking for an improved deal. And fellow union Unite, which is also recommending its members reject the offer, said that councils needed to improve it to avert industrial action.

In the five years since I started this blog, there’s something that I haven’t written much about: music. It’s difficult for me to explain — succinctly, at least — but music plays a huge role in my mental wellness. While I dabbled in singing and playing musical instruments as a kid, I never had much talent in that area. But even so, I love listening to music.

When dealing with a narcissist ex, you will likely amass a lot of nasty texts and emails. Through them you may be called many things. You may receive many demands. You may be told how the legal system works. You may be threatened and intimidated. The challenge in the face of all that is learning how and when to respond and not be sucked into rabbit holes.

A key component to being a social worker is serving others during times of crisis. While social workers are often focused on taking care of other people’s needs, it’s critical that self-care is also a priority for social workers! Children, families and communities have access to life-changing opportunities and improved positive outcomes because of the tremendous impact social workers and caring professionals provide.

Rationing by councils, rather than effective strengths-based practice, is the most likely explanation for falling numbers of people receiving adult social care amid record demand. That was the message from the King’s Fund’s annual social care 360 , its analysis of the latest data on the state of adult social care in England , published last week.

Those parents who you identify as critical, demanding, dismissive, while you set a boundary for yourself, what about your children? Many parents in these situations continue to facilitate access of their kids, the grandkids to the grandparents. But should they? So much depends on the boundaries of those grandparents. If they are badmouthing the parents to the grandkids, if they undermine the parents’ expectations, if they so much as demean the parents subtly or openly, then the parents sho

Councils are referring more children from residential to foster care, independent fostering agencies (IFAs) have reported. The trend reflects both the progress made by children in residential placements, as well as cost concerns on councils’ part, agencies told their umbrella body, the Nationwide Association of Fostering Providers (NAFP). But they warned that such moves needed to go at the pace of the child, to help manage their anxieties, and also stressed the need to allay foster carers&

‘Trauma’ is usually regarded by psychologists as ‘exposure to actual or threatened death, serious injury or sexual violation’. This exposure includes the direct experience of traumatic events, witnessing or learning of such events. In children, trauma can also include serious social neglect, whereby a child was not provided with adequate caregiving during their early years.
