Social Workers Speak

APRIL 13, 2023

For years, Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs) have been overworked and undervalued at CDCR (CA Dept. of Corrections and Rehabilitation). Suffice to say, there are plenty of opportunities for social workers or prospective social workers at the government level —perhaps more so than at any time in the recent past.

I have always been passionate about criminal justice reform and lowering our country’s recidivism rate through rehabilitative practices. As my concentration is in individuals, groups, and families, I plan to go on to get my LCSW when I graduate so I can work with adults as a psychotherapist. Thank you for your generosity!

by Melanie Sage, LCSW, PhD.
