This organization has done phenomenal work especially in the past three years, including supporting social workers in the delivery of mental health services during the pandemic and addressing systemic racism. However, we have much more work to do, and I stand ready to work collaboratively to support our great profession.” #NASW #NASWNYS #NASWNYC #Adelphiuniversity#MorganStateUniversity #adelphi #BowieStateUniversity #VirginiaCommonwealth #CSWE #IFSW #NASWFoundation #Kelsunnontheair #NSWM #blackmensmentalhealthconference #socialwork #socialworkers #stonybrookuniversity #stonybrookuniversityschoolofsocialwelfare #brooklyncollege #suffolkcommunitycollege #molloyuniversity #albanystateuniversity #saintjosephsuniversity

Many thanks to Mr. Scott Passeser, Producer & Host of “Radio Jobline”. The Show airs every Saturday from 2 to 3 PM on LI News 103.9, FM.  Scott continually offers his platform to the Social Work profession!!! He is keenly aware of the vital role Social Workers play in society and never hesitates to help spread the word!!! I also appreciate him having me back on the show for a fourth time!! The main topics of this interview that Scott and I discuss center around Social Work salaries, Social Worker satisfaction in the profession, and why it's important to improve both. We also talk about the dire need for well-trained, well-paid, motivated Social Workers.    Earlier this year The NY State Chapter of NASW released a study on the current state of the Social Work profession here in NY.  The report was authored by Ms. Olivia Knox, NASW-NYS Chapter Policy Coordinator. Some of her report's information is alluded to in this interview.  Also, the National Association of Social Workers had an independent agency (IPSOS) conduct a public opinion satisfaction survey. The results pointed to the fact that the general public has an overall favorable view of the profession.  It also pointed out that many in the general public do not know all the roles Social Workers play.  Some of that. Make sure to listen to this engaging and informative interview in it's entirety!!

Wilkerson, PhD, MSW, is an associate professor and director of the Office of e-Social Work Education and Practice at Indiana University School of Social Work in Indianapolis.  Liam O'Sullivan is CEO of Care Alliance Ireland, an award-winning alliance of more than 95 nonprofit organizations supporting family caregivers in the Republic of Ireland.  Purchase "Social Work in an Online World" from NASW Press at https://www.naswpress.org/product/53673/social-work-in-an-online-world Our host for this episode is NASW member Elisabeth Joy LaMotte, LICSW, founder of the DC Counseling and Psychotherapy Center and author of "Overcoming Your Parents' Divorce."  Visit the shownotes for resources: https://www.socialworkers.org/News/Social-Work-Talks-Podcast/EP104-Social-Work-in-an-Online-World Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/jJz8gMHiMnA

Is therapy dead? Can it be revived? How can we move forward? What are the virtues and pitfalls of alternatives to therapy, like coaching or wellness related practices? Typically, therapists go to graduate school and complete postgraduate internships and exams to develop a particular set of psychological tools to address mental illnesses that many of us are faced with. But Bizzie has done something truly unique; she is the first person not licensed as a clinical therapist to have created a therapeutic program for mental health professionals. It's common for relationships to have what Bizzie calls “Symbiotic Dysfunction” whereby the attraction pattern might be opposite, creating triggering and potentially toxic relationships. What can we do to battle this seemingly inherent trait? Do some couplings require some kind of polarity to ignite a relationship? And how therefore do children get socialized by their parents from the viewpoint of Bizzie's Break Method? Bizzie Gold is a Behavior Strategist, author, speaker and creator of Break Method, an NASW accredited program for mental health professionals and an online program to help clients rapidly rewire the emotional response system. She has been a featured workshop presenter and speaker at some of the most prestigious wellness institutes including Omega Institute, Kripalu and 1440 Multiversity. Gold has also appeared on The Dr. Oz Show, TODAY, E!, Buzzfeed and the Huffington Post among others to discuss her unique approach to rapid emotional repatterning that has garnered widespread Hollywood and media praise. You can follow Bizzie on Twitter or Instagram @BizzieGold. Learn more about the Break Method on her website, or sign up for her program here. You can access a PowerPoint on Bizzie's training to “Escape the Paradigm”.Are you interested in Rewiring your brain? Bizzie provides the resources to do so in “The Self Study”Recently, Bizzie had me on her podcast, The Modern Good, in an episode titled, “A Captured Profession,” which you can view here.In this episode I mentioned the book, “Hold On To Your Kids” by Gorden Neufeld and Gabor Maté which you can find in my bookshop or by visiting this Amazon affiliate link.

Episode 133: In today's interview, NASW-IL Executive Director, Joel Rubin, and I talk about the legislative process that NASW-IL went through to eliminate the requirement that BSW and MSW graduates from accredited social work programs in Illinois had to take the ASWB licensing exam in order to get their LSW. Joel shares the story about how and why the legislation changed. We talked about how the legislative process works, from connecting with other social workers online about pressing issues, to reaching out to NASW staff and volunteer board members, supporting prospective legislative candidates, meeting with your elected officials and how NASW state chapters serve as a resource for social workers and legislators. You can read a transcript of today's interview at https://socialworkpodcast.blogspot.com/2023/02/NASWIL.html You can connect with other social workers at the Social Work Podcast Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/swpodcast, or follow the Twitter feed at http://www.twitter.com/socworkpodcast.

In this episode, we dive into the recent decision by the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) to oppose the Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB) exams for licensing. We discuss the reasons behind NASW's opposition, including concerns about the exams' fairness and their impact on diversity in the profession. Finally, we explore how this is related to the interstate licensure compact and what the ASWB has proposed to do. ____________________________________ Tap Here to Subscribe to the Social Workers, Rise!

Human beings don't come equipped with user manuals to become our best and highest selves, so we struggle to connect the dots that make us truly healthy. Health is the consequence of mental, emotional and spiritual alignment, and when we take care of ourselves holistically, the impediments to us reaching whatever we want to create disappear. How do we stop transgressing the laws of health? What does healing actually look like? In this episode, author of the critically acclaimed book "The Optimal Life, Empowering Health, Healing & Longevity", Dr Stephen Bizal talks about the path to a healthy life in every sense of the world.   I describe health in the physical body as a natural expression of spiritual, mental and emotional energy. So the healing process is all about identifying where you may be violating spiritual laws or laws of nature. -Dr Stephen Bizal   Three Things We Learned  Why health flows from the mind, heart and soulIf we're not reaching the level of health we desire, how do we get to the root cause? The only way to reach optimizationIn the pursuit of healing, are we asking the right questions, the right way, with the right intentions? The critical role our childhoods play in the health struggles we faceHow do we develop an emotional thermostat that allows us to identify our triggers and clear them before we lash out?   Guest Bio Dr. Bizal is the author of the critically acclaimed book "The Optimal Life, Empowering Health, Healing & Longevity". An innovator in the field of human potential & human performance, Dr. Bizal founded the 1st executive health & fitness coaching company, Personalized Health & Fitness, Inc., in Southern California in 1981 after helping a friend, obese with critical health issues, lose 100 lbs.
