Save the Social Worker

Theory? What theory? I threw that out of the window after university! My colleague started laughing. I couldn’t see the humour in that. During my first placement, I was very curious. I asked many questions. In fact, I asked so many questions that there was a dedicated time at the end of each day to answer my questions. That afternoon, I asked my colleague what theories she used in her work with clients.

Photo of the author. 2020 was a doozy. Collectively, we’ve faced unprecedented levels of uncertainty, grief, loss and frustration. It was a year that called on us to dig deep from our well of inner resources. At the end of our poise and patience, we rolled up our tattered sweatshirt sleeves and set out desperately to find more resources. We found them in creature comforts.

Your periodic reminder that a mental health assessment is neither neutral nor is it help. Whilst carrying out an assessment may count as “contact” or “activity” for the purposes of a service’s records, it is not help. If you yank my sprained ankle back & forth to determine whether it is sprained, that hurts. A mental health assessment is not help for the person being assessed.

The Coronavirus (COVID-19) has markedly altered the landscape of mental health care in the United States. Since the start of the pandemic, a large proportion of therapeutic services have moved online, facilitating treatment at a time when in-person services are less accessible but mental health needs are growing, in no small part due to the widespread effects of the pandemic, including social isolation, financial stress, and loss and death to the disease.

If you’ve ever been around someone who seems a little bit too happy, that no matter what happens, they always put on a smile and tell you how okay it will be, or if you want to find comfort in a friend only for them to turn around and be just a little bit too nice after your life falls apart, you could be experiencing toxic positivity.

The psychiatric system has beaten me. I’ve lost. I tried my best to get the help I need. But all that my efforts have done is show me there is no way to hold mental health professionals to account; that the system will protect itself at all costs. There’s no hope for me now. I tried my best – but my efforts came to nothing. So this is it now.
