Podcasts about Social work

You probably already know that around Social Work Stories, we're big fans of stories from social workers who are in unique practice settings... so it's no question that we LOVED hearing this story.  In this episode, we mark World Social Work Day 2023! Then, we hear a powerful story from Jack about his time as a Police Social Worker, working with Pacific Islander youth in Aotearoa/New Zealand. Then Mim and Lis explore the complex layers of the story, including Jack's struggle to navigate his role as a Samoan man working with both the police and the Pacifica community, the therapeutic approach he used to connect with a young man on his 'last chance', and the impact of systemic racism on indigenous youth. Hear about the critical reflection and conscious choices Jack made, as he worked  to create change within the system and become a much-needed role model for this young man. And something so rare in social work - he got to see the fruits of his labour many years later! To connect with Jack, reach out to him here.

Many people in education and healthcare know that lobbying and advocacy needs to happen; but many people don't know whose responsibility it is or how to do it. That's why I invited Michael Campbell, published author, blogger, and licensed bilingual speech-language pathologist to the show to dive into this topic.  Michael has spent time as a union member on his collective bargaining committee, and he shared a ton of useful knowledge on the process. If you're an SLP or other related service provider and you want to know how to leverage your union or build relationships to advocate for your profession, you won't want to miss this interview.  In this episode, he shares: ✅What people are actually doing when they're “lobbying” for a bill to be passed. ✅What to say when you email your congressman (plus other people you can email as well to get your voice heard). ✅How to learn more about bills that impact you, your facility, and your students. ✅Why it's worth your time to help other union members (like teachers) get what they want, even for initiatives that seem unrelated to you as a therapist. Michael works as a Speech-Language Pathologist in the public schools and his private practice. He started my career teaching and mentoring students through Upward Bound on undergraduate admissions and college success and also served as a Program Officer at the Institute of International Education. He taught for several years in both the US and Mexico before starting his SLP graduate program. During his graduate studies, he built The Speech Blog. You can view the webpage here: https://thespeechblog.com/  To advise candidates on SLP grad school admissions and in 2020 he published a book called “SLP To Be: An Unofficial Guide to Getting into Graduate School for Speech-Language Pathology” To view more about the book, click here: https://www.amazon.com/SLP-Be-Unofficial-Speech-Language-Pathology/dp/1730815073  Currently, he's  practicing SLP in the school systems and also blogs about professional topics of interest at Think SLP. You may check the webpage here: https://thinkslp.com/  His current project is a workbook for clinicians or teachers with therapy/lesson plans centered on 10 famous people who stutter. We mentioned the following blog post articles during our interview from Michael's site: > Teacher's Unions – Just for teachers?     Link here: https://thinkslp.com/teachers-unions-just-for-teachers/ > Four Things I Heard at ASHA's Listening Session, Oct 2022    Link here: https://thinkslp.com/my-four-take-aways-from-ashas-school-issues-advisory-board-listening-session-in-october-2022/ In this episode, I mentioned the School of Clinical Leadership, my program that helps pediatric clinicians be better leaders, make a bigger impact with their services, and lead their teams in providing executive functioning support for kids at the K-12 level.

In this episode, I talk with Dr. Yoosun Park, who is an Associate Professor in the School of Social Policy & Practice at the University of Pennsylvania. We talk about her article, co-authored with Michael Reisch, entitled: To “Elevate, Humanize, Christianize, Americanize”: Social Work, White Supremacy, and the Americanization Movement, 1880–1930, in the October 2022 issue of Social Service Review. I cannot say enough about the level of research and analysis in this article. We are very fortunate because the article is going to become a book. Dr. Park explains the key points of the article: how social work was a major part of the Americanization movement, which was a national project rooted in whiteness, aimed at defining what it means to be an American and who gets to be an American, along with the full rights of American citizenship and the ability to enact those rights. Dr. Park breaks down how the Americanization movement, which included many White social reformers and social work leaders, viewed European immigrants as Americanizable, or White, whereas Indigenous Peoples and Africans, along with Asian and Mexican immigrants – and even this wording is problematic because the U.S. took parts of Mexico – were seen as un-Americanizable and the Other. We discuss how many of these same white supremacist beliefs, policies, and practices show up in social work today. I hope this conversation inspires you to action.

We've all sat through some boring professional development before; but there's nothing boring about the training you'll get from Dr. MC, the guest on episode 103 of the De Facto Leaders podcast.  Many people in “helping professions” like education and healthcare focus more on taking care of others instead of taking care of themselves; which is why I wanted to have Dr. MC on the show to talk about how school leaders can make self-care a part of K-12 culture. But not just for the students; for the staff.  Dr. Theresa Melito-Conners, Ph.D. (Dr. MC) is the founder of Dr. MC's Self-Care Cabaret, a suite of theatre-inspired self-care and professional development services for helping professionals.  The Self-Care Cabaret encompasses workshops, a podcast, and educational curricula — focused on accessible, realistic strategies that equip and empower. Dr. MC first recognized the need for such strategies as a special education administrator. She realized individuals in people-first, service-oriented roles often struggle with prioritizing self-care and work-life balance, and lack resources. Curious, Dr. MC pursued her PhD in educational leadership from Lesley University, honing in on self-care and renewal for helping professionals. In addition to her doctorate and published research, she is a licensed K-12 counselor with a master's of education in school counseling from Salem State University and a B.A. in theatre studies from Emerson College. Her true joy is bringing her scholarship, experience, and zest to audiences of all kinds nationwide. In this conversation Dr. MC shares: ✅Common myths surrounding the “self-care” industry, and why it's not just wine and bubble baths.  ✅Why “not having time” for self-care is a myth, and how to keep yourself grounded even if you only have 5 minutes to spare.  ✅How school leaders can make self-care a part of their building culture; for both the staff and leadership.

Alex grew up in a family business that has owned and operated hotels since the 1960s. Alex worked in hospitality management for over a decade in both the rooms and food & beverage divisions. As a person in recovery, Alex knows the temptations in corporate and leisure travel; and has witnessed the toll addiction has taken on individuals, families, communities, and the hospitality industry. In 2017, after completing the sale of his family's 5-star boutique hotel, Alex left the day-to-day operations of the hospitality business and spent two years helping to build and manage a recovery coaching team for a health-technology company. During this time, Alex witnessed people in early recovery struggle to maintain connection and accountability when traveling. Many individuals chose not to travel or dine out due to the stressful environment. By establishing Recover Hospitality in 2021, Alex uses his personal experience in recovery, extensive hospitality knowledge, and coaching experience to limit temptations and add individualized support for travelers who have struggled with substance use and other mental health concerns.  Additionally, Recover Hospitality offers consulting services for hospitality businesses looking to better support the mental health of both guests and staff. Alex graduated with a degree in economics and business from Rollins College. In addition, he has completed the UMass Boston Addiction Counselor Education Program. He is pursuing a Master's in Social Work from Boston College, with a concentration in mental health and certification in neurobiology for social work.

ABOUT CASSI NICOLAUS CROWLEY:Owner, New GenBorn in Northern California, my childhood was punctuated by the farming seasons. From spring bloom to fall harvest, I grew up amongst the trees, the equipment, and the elements. From a young age, I watched my father grow his almond and walnut operation, always willing to take on a new challenge. Truthfully, I had no intention of taking over the farm. For me, I have always been avid studier and lover of people. That passion led me to concentrate most of my professional pursuits in community-focused non-profits, and even a Master of Social Work degree. However, I realized that the farm had so much to give to the local community – sustenance, education, employment, security, and land conservation. So, for me, NicNut Farms is fulfilling a dream to serve others and preserve our ancient agricultural connection with the soil. Life these days is mostly family, farm, and coffee. It's a good life. CONNECT WITH CASSI:• Website: https://nicnutfarms.com• Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nicnutfarms• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicnutfarms WAYS TO CONNECT WITH STEFANIE…• Website: https://shebuildshomes.com• Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shebuildsbetter• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shebuilds.homes• YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/shebuildsshow
