Podcasts about social workers

Anxiety is one of the most common mental health conditions in the world—and as new social workers, it's essential to understand how to recognize it, support clients dealing with it, and manage it in ourselves.In this episode of Social Workers, Rise!, host Catherine Moore, LCSW, breaks down everything you need to know about anxiety from a clinical and practical lens. Whether you're in supervision, just graduated with your MSW, or supporting high-risk populations, this episode is for you.

Send us a textBreaking through the noise in healthcare marketing requires more than persistence—it demands a fundamental shift in approach. This eye-opening training video reveals the stark contrast between ineffective marketing tactics and strategies that genuinely resonate with skilled nursing facility staff.Watch as we demonstrate a typical failed interaction: rushing into a social worker's office, using inappropriate terminology (calling patients "clients"), focusing exclusively on services rather than solutions, and completely disregarding the professional's limited time. The cold shoulder that follows is inevitable and all too familiar to many healthcare marketers.Then witness the transformation that occurs when the same representative returns with a solution-focused approach. By introducing a specialized "discharge package" designed specifically for patients transitioning home from skilled nursing facilities, the conversation shifts dramatically. What makes this approach successful is its laser focus on addressing a genuine problem—patient regression after discharge—rather than simply promoting services.The training emphasizes critical practical wisdom that's often overlooked. When a social worker expresses interest, schedule your next meeting immediately rather than promising to "call later." Be transparent about reasonable budgets for lunch-and-learns, as healthcare professionals appreciate partners who prioritize patient care over marketing extravagance. Most importantly, position yourself as a valuable resource by acknowledging their expertise while offering specialized insights they might not have considered.Ready to transform your healthcare marketing approach from getting the cold shoulder to securing meaningful partnerships? This training provides the blueprint for making that shift immediately.Continuum Mastery Circle IntroVisit our website at https://asnhomecaremarketing.comGet Your 11 Free Home Care Marketing Guides: https://bit.ly/homecarerev

Send us a textIn this episode we speak with Chankia Berry, a Veterinary Social Worker from Tuskegee University. This episode was very interesting and gives a peek into another population that you can work with as a Social Worker. Social workers of color face immense challenges—systemic racism, underfunding, and overwhelming caseloads. They work tirelessly to support others but often lack the support they need. That's why we created the Queens of Social Work Podcast—a lifeline and safe space for social workers of color to vent, share, laugh, and find the resources they need to thrive. The QOSW Daily Journal and our Royally You Interactive Journal for yourself will help you get all of your thoughts out and reflect on what's next for you.

Why are our young people struggling so much? In this special episode for Mental Health Awareness Month, Gene and Khadijah dive into the growing youth mental health epidemic. They explore the sharp rise in anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges among children and teens since the 1980s—fueled by factors like social media, shifting family dynamics, economic inequality, and systemic discrimination. With only about 11,400 child and adolescent psychiatrists in the U.S. for the 14–20 million young people who need care, the workforce shortage is dire. Gene and Khadijah call for urgent advocacy—encouraging listeners to support change through actions like contacting lawmakers, engaging with local communities, joining peer support efforts, and promoting mental health education. Tune in for a candid, compassionate conversation about how we can all help make mental health care more accessible and equitable for our youth.Media ListAddressing the Youth Mental Health Epidemic (Springer)Severe Shortage of Child and Adolescent Psychiatrists (AACAP)Varying Estimates of Social Workers in the United States: Which Data Source to Use?

Anna from Florida State University (FSU) completed her final Social Work placement at Doctors of the World. She was here for four months, and I met with her regularly as her long-term supervisor. We used this episode as an end-of-placement reflection session. Anna shared what she learned about the organisation, the work, and herself. She intends to complete her Master's in Social Work upon returning to the US and feels her experience in the UK has potentially equipped her for an international career. She was a delight to supervise; insightful, reflective and respectful of those she encountered in her work with DoTW. I wish her every success in the future and have no doubt she will be an asset to the profession.

The stigma of mental illness is reflected in Regina, a social worker who contends with her own mental illness diagnosis and its implications for working in the field. Having been let go from a few jobs, she raises the ethical dilemma of disclosure: the pathologizing impact vs. the potential for accomodations. Where is the boundary or adaptation in the social work profession regarding embracing employees who may be struggling with the same disorders as those we treat? Regina shares her personal experience navigating her BiPolar II disorder and calls to action the need for societal awareness and social work advocacy.

Have you ever trusted a professional—only to feel blindsided when they stepped out of line? In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on a real, raw experience my husband and I had with a hospice social worker who crossed major boundaries. From questioning financial decisions to challenging legal authority, this episode exposes what happens when people in power overreach, and why it's crucial to stand firm in what you know is true. You'll learn: What a hospice social worker is supposed to do (and NOT supposed to do). How to spot when someone is overstepping in care situations. Why lucid moments don't equal mental capacity—and how to trust the deeper patterns. How to hold your power when professionals or family try to make you question yourself. What POA really means, and how to navigate manipulation from both loved ones and caregivers. This is for anyone who's ever been gaslit by a professional—or felt like they had to defend themselves for just doing what's right.

"Any place that you would show up and advocate for your own child, now you show up and you advocate for people and families and children of color, too."

Stephanie Feldman is a Masters level Registered Social Worker, specializing in trauma, anxiety, people-pleasing, emotion regulation, crisis, and relationships. She is also the founder of The Healing Hive Therapy Co.In Stephanie's words: "If you've ever been told that you're 'too self-aware for therapy', I'm your gal! I specialize in trauma and believe that we can't think our way out of a dysregulated nervous system; I focus on body-based/ somatic approaches in the therapy space to help you heal from trauma that is stuck in the body. When we feel safe enough to connect to ourselves, we are better able to connect with others!"In this episode, we dive deep into the journey of connecting with your body as a pathway to healing. We explore how high achievers, perfectionists, and people-pleasers often ignore their physical cues and worry about not doing things "right" or meeting impossible standards. We talk about what can happen when we allow ourselves to slow down. We also discussed the challenges of finding the right therapy fit, navigating the complexities of self-care, and recognizing your body's needs.FOLLOW STEPHANIE:INSTA: @therapy.stephTIKOK: @therapy.stephWEBSITE: https://www.thehealinghive.ca/STAY CONNECTED:INSTA: @trustandthriveTIKOK: @trustandthriveTHREADS: @trustandthriveFACEBOOK: bit.ly/FBtaramontEMAIL: trustandthrive@gmail.com

Old wounds don't always fade just because time passes. Sometimes, the things that happened years ago still shape how people see themselves, how they trust others, and how they navigate the world. It's frustrating to feel like something unseen is pulling the strings, making certain patterns repeat no matter how much effort goes into changing them. The past doesn't just disappear, but understanding its influence is often the first step toward breaking free from it.

In speaking with my two guests, they shared stories of the three generations of writers in the family including, Irene's mother, Wilma, followed by my guest, Irene and her son Brendan. Brendan is an award winning graphic novel/picture book author and acquiring editor at Blackstone Publishing where he also runs the TV and Film Division even made notice of having his maternal grandmothers published books on his desk. Brendan shares that he was always supported and encouraged by his family with his passion for comic books which he started writing and drawing caricatures at a young age.In time, Irene expressed "that the family was moving in a different direction and the divorce was almost inevitable." Irene continues, "I'm highly emotionally intelligent and I finally found my tribe. I found people who spoke my language." This all occurred once she went back to school for her Masters Degree in Counseling, and later on became a social worker. Brendan raves about his childhood as a latch key kid. He loved growing up in Connecticut. And now as a father, he appreciates even more what it takes for parents to raise their children. And now he's learned even more about what his mother was going through raising the four Deneen children.Both Irene and Brendan claim to be emotionally intelligent-they are very good at listening to others, which Brendan feels that "not many people listen to one another these days." Brendan has always been there for his mom as a sounding board. Irene says " Brendan was my listening post." When she needed to talk, she call Brendan.They have a special bond for sure. They respect one another.Irene Deneen Murray: Irene Deneen Murray grew up in the 50's, an era when a woman could be a nurse, teacher or secretary. She chose teacher because it pleased her mother. In truth the first half of her life was devoted to taking care of or pleasing her mother. At age 50 having raised 4 kids in a Hollywood -worthy suburb, Irene became a divorcee and learned to love being more adventurous than she had previously ever imagined. By then she was working as a social worker having recently earned a Master's Degree in Counseling. Irene loves the natural world and has been a devoted hiker and later a biker, paddler and pretty consistently a practitioner of yoga. She continues these pastimes presently sometimes to the chagrin of her children since they may picture her falling off a cliff, rolling over in her kayak or some other catastrophe. Her children and grandchildren are her greatest achievement. She is a good observer and has insight galore but is sometimes amazed at how each of her children has developed so uniquely. Brendan Deneen is the author of the novelsThe Ninth Circle andThe Chrysalis, as well as the bestselling four-volume Night Night, Groot picture book series for Marvel/Disney. He's also the author of the middle-grade graphic novelGreen Arrow: Stranded for DC Comics; the novels Morbius: Blood Ties and Guardians of the Galaxy: Annihilation:Conquest from Marvel/Titan, and Alien: Uncivil War from 20th Century Studios/Titan. His other graphic novel work includes multiple volumes of Flash Gordon, an original Island of Misfit Toys book, and the original graphic novel Scatterbrain. In addition to his writing, Brendan has been working in the publishing and film/TV industries for twenty-five years, including development jobs with Scott Rudin Productions and Miramax, as well as editorial and book-to-film jobs with St. Martin's Press and Tor Books. He currently works at Blackstone Publishing, where he's an acquiring editor in addition to running the company's film/TV division, which he created, and where he has dozens of literary projects set up at movie studios, streamers, and networks. His short stories and essays have been published by St. Martin's Press, Reader's Digest Books, 13Thirty Press, and Necro Publications.  Brendan Deneen's Written Works:NOVELS                                                                    The Ninth CircleThe ChrysalisMorbius: Blood TiesGuardians of the Galaxy: Annihilation--ConquestAlien: Uncivil WarTracer GRAPHIC NOVELSScatterbrainFlash Gordon: The Mercy WarsFlash Gordon: Invasion of the Red Sword Flash Gordon: The Vengeance of MingThe Island of Misfit Toys Green Arrow: Stranded PICTURE BOOKSNight Night, Groot First Day of Groot!Snow Day for Groot!Summer Adventure for Groot!

All Home Care Matters and our host, Lance A. Slatton were honored to welcome Kelly Meany as guest to the show.   About Kelly Meany:   Kelly Meany is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and a dedicated therapist with a deep passion for helping others heal from trauma. But long before she entered the field of mental health, Kelly was a caregiver in a way that most children never have to be.   Her mother suffered a traumatic brain injury before Kelly was born, spending 12 weeks in a coma and emerging with lifelong cognitive challenges. From a young age, Kelly found herself in a unique and complex role not just as a daughter, but as more of a caregiver. Then, in her 20s, her mother was diagnosed with dementia, adding another layer to their journey together.   Navigating the emotional, mental, and logistical challenges of caregiving from childhood into adulthood profoundly shaped Kelly's understanding of resilience, connection, and the human capacity to heal. It also inspired her career as a therapist, where she now helps others whether they are caregivers, trauma survivors, or those seeking deeper emotional healing.   Kelly has training in EMDR, CSAT, IFS, and QNRT. She specializes in trauma recovery, addiction, and high-profile client work, offering a unique approach to healing that integrates both science and personal experience.   While Kelly's work in one-on-one therapy is deeply fulfilling, she has a bigger dream of helping people on a macro level. She is passionate about expanding access to trauma-informed care and educating the public about the long-term effects of trauma and caregiving. Through speaking engagements, social media, and writing, she hopes to reach a wider audience, break the stigma around mental health, and create systemic change. She is currently working on a book and has a goal of giving a TED X Talk in 2025 to share her insights on healing and human connection.
