In this episode of Social Work Radio, Vince and Cara take on a question that quietly sits in the background of the profession: do you need trauma to be a good social worker? They explore why lived experience is often seen as a badge of credibility, the real role empathy plays in practice, and the risks that come when personal pain becomes an unspoken qualification for the job. From the value of emotional literacy and supervision to the burnout risks of over-identification, the conversation unpacks what truly shapes effective practice - and why the profession needs a healthy mix of perspectives, not a competition over who has suffered the most. Created by social workers, for social workers. Join the conversation every Friday morning.
What if the most powerful person on your care team isn't a nurse, a doctor, or a specialist — but someone showing up at 8:00 AM to check blood pressure, eat lunch with residents, and play vital signs bingo? In this episode, we go deep on the Community Health Worker role: what it is, what it isn't, and why most organizations are dramatically underusing it. Scott pulls no punches on the disconnect between what CHWs are doing and what they should be doing — and why the difference is costing patients their health and workers their bonuses. What you'll hear in this episode: Why the #1 complaint about CHW visits ("you're seeing our patients too much") is actually a communication failure, not a frequency problem — and how to fix it The specific visit types every community health worker should be scheduling: vital signs, medication reconciliation, lab draws, wound care, advanced care plans, and more How Mary White, a CHW in Gainesville, Georgia, goes in with 5 patients on her list and leaves having seen 15 — and what her approach reveals about what this role is really for Why buildings that aren't growing have either the wrong person or not enough people — and how to think through both The full compensation breakdown: base salary, guaranteed bonus, and how the right CHW can earn close to $80,000 a year If you hire, manage, or are a community health worker, this episode will reshape how you think about the role.

Katie Pankonin is a mental health therapist out of Phoenix, Arizona specializing in grief and relationships. Katie is passionate about normalizing the grief experience and finding relatable ways to humanize the "grief club" we all inevitably join one day. Katie can be found on social media at @enkindle_mentalhealth where she enjoys creating community for those grieving and posting daily mental health content.In this episode, we explore how grief can be more complex, personal, and nuanced than we're taught. We talk about the journey into grief therapy and importance of normalizing conversations around death and loss. We discuss what it can look like to grieve people who are still alive, mourning relationships that were complicated or harmful, exploring parasocial grief, and feeling unexpected emotions of confusion or relief around loss.In the episode, we reflect on how to support someone who is grieving without unintentionally minimizing their experience, what helpful grief communication can look like, and how meaning can slowly emerge with grief (while not putting pressure for it to).Whether you're navigating your own grief, supporting someone else through their experience, or simply wanting to understand the many forms grief can take, we hope this conversation can offer a compassionate and nuanced perspective.FOLLOW KATIE:INSTA: @enkindle_mentalhealthTIKOK: @enkindle_mentalhealthWEBSITE: www.enkindlementalhealth.orgSTAY CONNECTED:INSTA: @trustandthriveTIKOK: @trustandthriveTHREADS: @trustandthriveFACEBOOK: bit.ly/FBtaramontEMAIL: trustandthrive@gmail.com

It started with a social worker sent to support a teenage boy — someone trusted to help during a difficult time. But what investigators would later uncover turned that trust into the centre of a criminal investigation.As accusations emerged, the situation escalated when Payton Shires allegedly returned to the family's home armed with a gun, making threats toward the boy's mother and prompting an urgent police response.How did a safeguarding case spiral into fear, criminal charges, and an armed confrontation outside a family home?
The Senior Care Industry Netcast w/ Valerie V RN BSN & Dawn Fiala
Send a textWant to be the agency a SNF social worker calls first? Start by seeing the world through their eyes. We unpack the real pressures behind every discharge—insurance clocks, readmission metrics, complex families—and lay out a playbook that turns home care from a sales pitch into a safety net. Our focus: reduce risk, protect reputations, and make hard days lighter.We break down the non-negotiables that matter most on the floor: lightning-fast responses, true 24-hour start-of-care capability, and weekend coverage that actually shows up. Then we get specific about scope so no one's guessing—ADLs, transfers, dementia supervision, fall-risk protocols, live-in versus 24-hour care, and short-term transitional support. You'll hear how to structure first-day-of-service home visits that validate the plan in the real environment, prevent early failures, and keep families from bouncing back angry.Readmission prevention is where non-medical care changes the outcome. We map simple, repeatable habits—hydration and nutrition check-ins, medication reminders, appointment follow-through, mobility assistance, and change-of-condition reporting—that keep clients stable and facilities confident. We also tackle the two biggest trust breakers: staffing flakiness and fuzzy pricing. Learn how to present backup plans, field supervision, and retention stats, plus a clear pricing range rooted in assessment, not guesswork. And because March is National Social Work Month, we share practical, memorable ideas—coffee bars, hydration stations, gatekeeper treats, and social worker spotlights—that open doors and start real partnerships.If you're ready to stop selling and start safeguarding discharges, this conversation gives you the language, systems, and leave-behinds to become the reliable choice.

“Patients are waiting…”Those simple but profound words from Dr. Steve St. Onge set the tone for this conversation, and for why this work matters so deeply.Science has always fascinated me. I often joke that I'm not smart enough to be a scientist, but I have endless respect for the people who are, especially those who can take incredibly complex ideas and explain them in a way the rest of us can truly understand. This is why I know you're going to love my conversation with Dr. St. Onge. Steve is the Chief Business Officer at Clarametyx. Dr. St. Onge is a PharmD and MBA with more than 15 years of experience spanning clinical care, medical affairs, and leadership in biotechnology. What stands out most about Steve isn't just his impressive résumé, it's his ability to clearly explain the science, the strategy, and, most importantly, the urgency behind the work Clarametyx is doing.I first met Steve in person at the North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) in Seattle, where we had the opportunity to really connect and talk about Clarametyx's approach. Their work focuses on targeting biofilm-driven inflammation and progressive lung damage, an area of significant unmet need for people living with chronic respiratory diseases, including cystic fibrosis. In this conversation, Steve breaks down what biofilms are, why they're so difficult to treat, and how Clarametyx is thinking differently about tackling the inflammation and lung damage they cause.We also talk about the long road of drug development, the responsibility that comes with working in rare disease, and why the phrase “patients are waiting” isn't just a saying, it's a call to action. This episode is an honest, accessible, and hopeful look at science in motion, and at the people behind the research who are driven by the patients counting on progress.If you've ever wanted a clearer understanding of how innovative science moves from idea to impact—and why time matters so much, his is a conversation you won't want to miss.

Tomoyoshi Aoki, a 51-year-old certified social worker from Saitama Prefecture, says he discovered that his former employer, ‘Nihon Remake', which operates more than 10 group homes for people with disabilities in Saitama City, was overcharging residents for meal and other expenses and improperly claiming public reimbursements. After clashing with the company over how to address the issues, Aoki filed a whistleblower report with the prefectural government before resigning in late 2024. The prefecture later instructed the company to refund excess charges and return improperly received payments. In April 2025, however, the company sued Aoki at the Saitama District Court for about 41.3 million yen in damages, alleging he took accounting documents without authorization and disrupted operations. The case remains ongoing.

“Convicted on a Glance? The Case of Kenyon Clinton and the Cost of Faulty Identification”In this episode of Turning A Moment Into A Movement, we examine the case of Kenyon Clinton, a Michigan man convicted in a case that relied heavily on eyewitness identification — despite significant concerns raised by experts about the reliability of that identification.Court records show that Mr. Clinton has pursued relief for years, raising claims related to mistaken identification, ineffective assistance of counsel, and constitutional violations. An independent eyewitness expert later identified multiple risk factors associated with misidentification, including a masked suspect, delayed identification, and potentially suggestive procedures.Mr. Clinton also submitted to a polygraph examination indicating no deception when denying involvement. Despite these efforts, he remains incarcerated.This live conversation will explore:The dangers of faulty eyewitness testimonyHow wrongful convictions persist despite new evidenceThe barriers to post-conviction reliefWhy accountability in criminal justice matters long after trialWe will break down the legal history, the evidence raised, and the broader systemic questions his case presents.This is part of our ongoing series, Accountability in Action, where we examine what justice looks like when systems are challenged to review themselves.Guest: Dion Riggen ElFounder: Free People Free people, Advocate for the Wrongfully Convicted, Over Sentenced and Mentally FrailTurning A Moment Into A Movement Podcast MISSION:To bring awareness, organize, and create content that will be a resource that will aide families, communities, and those seeking Justice for WRONGFUL CONVICTIONS and Injustice. ...and advocating for Justice & Exoneration for GERARD HAYCRAFT. www.change.org/Justice4Gerardhttps://linktr.ee/turningamomentintoa...Turning A Moment Ino A Moment Team:-Jay Love Host: Founder and Creator of Turning A Moment Into A Movement, The Justice for Gerard Movement, to learn more about The Justice for Gerard Movement go to: www.change.org/Justice4GerardExecutive Board member of Michigan Coalition of Human Rights, G100 Prison Reforms & Reintegration Global Advisory Council Member-Trische' Duckworth: Executive Director/Founder of Survivors Speak, Founder/ Lead Consultant of Value Black Lives, Social Worker, Justice Advocate, Board member of Michigan Coalition of Human Rights,https://www.survivorsspeak.info

August 2026 is closer than you think, and the changes could work in your favor or catch you off guard. Whether you're deep in exam prep or just starting your licensure journey, this conversation will help you decide whether to test now or wait and why that decision matters more than you think. In this episode, Peter Fenger and Sharlee Dixon break down exactly what's shifting, from fewer questions and a new three-area content structure to a heavier emphasis on ethics over academic memorization. We dig into what it really means that Values and Ethics is now the most heavily weighted section, how the shorter exam format creates both opportunity and new traps for overthinking, and how to honestly assess whether the current exam or the new version plays to your natural strengths. We also tackle the bigger picture, from racial and socioeconomic pass rate disparities to the push for universal licensing, and why this shift may signal that the profession is finally being tested the way it's actually practiced. Walk away with a clear strategy, honest self-reflection questions, and the confidence to take your next step toward licensure.

Caribbean Perspectives in Occupational Therapy in the UK is a pioneering resource that brings cultural specificity into occupational therapy practice, centring the experiences and needs of Caribbean communities living in the UK. It is notably authored by occupational therapists of Caribbean heritage themselves, lending the work an authenticity and lived-experience grounding that sets it apart.The publication draws on biographical narratives and case studies to explore how cultural identity, heritage, and lived experience shape health outcomes and occupational engagement for Caribbean people in the UK. By weaving personal stories alongside practical applications, it bridges theory and real-world practice in an accessible way.A core theme running through the work is health inequalities — acknowledging the systemic and structural barriers that Caribbean communities face in healthcare settings and equipping occupational therapists with tools to address them more effectively. Alongside this, it champions cultural humility as a professional stance, encouraging practitioners to reflect critically on their own assumptions and to engage with clients in a respectful, curiosity-driven way rather than through a one-size-fits-all approach.The resource also emphasises social inclusion, recognising that meaningful participation in everyday life — the heart of occupational therapy — cannot be understood without attending to cultural context. At the same time, it celebrates the richness and vibrancy of Caribbean culture, framing it not merely as a backdrop to disadvantage but as a source of strength, identity, and resilience.For practitioners, the text offers concrete, actionable insights for continuing professional development, making it a valuable tool for both individual therapists and organisations working toward more culturally responsive and equitable care.In this SWM episode, we're joined by some of the great minds and committed colleagues, Dr Blaine Robin, Odeth Richardson, Jennie Alexander and Melisa Henry. As the book's launch date draws closer, we will meet other contributors to this much-needed text.Caribbean Perspectives on Occupational Therapy in the United Kingdom: An Essential Practice Guide and Study Manualhttps://amzn.eu/d/04b1tnTrDo share your feedback at: adosylv@gmail.comFollow us on social media: https://www.facebook.com/groups/412169436067530Subscribe and leave a review to help us reach more listeners!Join us and remember—social workers matter!Website: www.inclinetrainingconsultants.co

From social worker to sourdough entrepreneur—Elaine Dubbe turned a friend's encouragement and a 106-year-old sourdough starter into Hello Simple; a business teaching hands-on sourdough classes across Minnesota. Elaine moved to Cologne, Minnesota in December 2023 and started by simply posting in the local Facebook group asking if anyone wanted to learn sourdough. Twenty-five people said yes. Now she's teaching sold-out classes at wineries, breweries, and venues from the Arboretum to Sapsucker Farms in Mora.In this episode, we talk about the realities of building a business while raising two young daughters, how western Carver County has been "wildly supportive" of small business owners, and why keeping things simple is at the heart of everything she does.WHAT WE COVERThe winding path from Upper Peninsula Michigan through Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Nebraska, and finally to Cologne, Minnesota. How her sourdough starter has been passed down for 106 years and why that matters for beginners. What you actually need to start a food-based business in Minnesota, including the cottage food producer license, forming an LLC, and getting insurance coverage. The trial-and-error of pricing creative services when there's no established market. Building community connections as a newcomer through Oakwood Community Church, local schools, and Logan Pass coffee house. Why she's chosen Facebook and Instagram over TikTok and YouTube to stay focused on real human connection. Structuring a business around young kids and leaning on your village of support. What happens at a Sourdough 101 class and what participants take home. Her dream of a brick-and-mortar location with a teaching kitchen and boutique.Elaine's advice for anyone thinking about turning a hobby into a business: start small, take the chance, and follow where the business wants to go rather than forcing it in a direction.ABOUT COLOGNE, MINNESOTACologne is part of western Carver County along the Highway 212 corridor, about 35 miles southwest of Minneapolis. Elaine describes it as a mix of old and new—the original Cologne, established neighborhoods south of 212, and newer developments to the north where young families are putting down roots. It's a small town with a strong sense of community that's proven to be welcoming to newcomers and supportive of local entrepreneurs.ABOUT THIS PODCASTLiving IN Carver County is hosted by Greg Anderson, a Carver County real estate professional with RE/MAX Advisors West who has sold over 3,000 homes since 1985. This podcast features conversations with the people who make Carver County the best place to live, work, and raise a family—from Chaska and Chanhassen to Victoria, Waconia, Cologne, Carver, Mayer, and Norwood Young America.CONNECTHello Simple (Elaine's business): hellosimple.comHost: Greg Anderson, RE/MAX Advisors WestSubstack: HelloIamGregAnderson.substack.comLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/gregoryrandersonLiving In Carver County—Connecting friends, building community.

Please visit my website to get more information: http://diversifiedgame.com/In this episode of Diversified Game, Kellen Coleman sits down with Haizel McIntyre, a Bronx based Licensed Master Social Worker who is also a Certified Financial Social Worker and a Certified Financial Education Instructor. Haizel breaks down why most people stay stuck financially, not because they are lazy, but because they do not have a plan that matches their real life.Haizel shares how Financial Social Work connects mental health and money, how “money wounds” shape spending and saving, and why every financial decision is emotional even when people think it is purely logical. She explains the difference between coaching and advising, how she helps clients build realistic goals, and why “hope” is not a strategy when it comes to retirement, investing, or entrepreneurship.You will also hear Haizel's story as a first generation Dominican American, how culture influences money habits, and why immigrant families often bring strong cash based survival skills, but can miss key knowledge about the American financial system. She discusses community practices like collective giving, how financial education needs to start earlier, and why small wins matter more than perfection.If you are trying to budget, save, get out of survival mode, or build a healthier money mindset, this conversation will help you start moving with intention.Guest:Haizel McIntyre, LMSW, CFSW, CFEIMaking Money Movers NYCConnect with Haizel:Website: https://makingmoneymovers.org/Email: info@makemoneymoves.orgFind her on LinkedIn and Instagram: Haizel McIntyreKey topics:Financial Social Work (CFSW)Money mindset and money woundsBudgeting and saving basicsSMART goals and executionYouth and community financial educationCulture and finances in NYCDominican American experiencePlanning for retirement and long term stabilityChapters:0:00 Intro0:20 Haizel McIntyre introduces herself and Making Money Movers NYC1:10 What a Certified Financial Social Worker is2:00 The biggest mistake people make, no plan3:05 Money mindset, money wounds, and emotional spending4:30 Why goals need action and realistic execution6:10 Culture, community saving practices, and financial education gaps8:00 Working with individuals vs organizations, pricing and sliding scale9:30 Vision, couples, caregivers, and building generational impact10:45 Final advice, grace, consistency, and where to find Haizel

On episode 1 of Season 9 of The Surviving Siblings Podcast® host, Maya Roffler is joined by Stephen Stott who opens up about the tragic loss of his sister, Stacy, to a car accident 24 years ago. Stephen was just 16 when his life changed forever. After being "voluntold" to accompany his sister to a cheerleading camp six hours away, he shared a moment of deep personal truth with her the first person he ever came out to as queer. Just days later, on the drive home, they both fell asleep behind the wheel. Stacy didn't survive. Stephen did. What follows is a deeply moving story of grief, identity, movement, and healing. Stephen shares how he turned toward dance, breathwork, and somatic healing not only to honor Stacy's memory but to help others process grief in their own bodies. He also reflects on his decision to found Embrace the Darkness, a platform and resource space that embraces the hard and sacred work of grief, especially for queer siblings and those needing support outside of traditional therapy. This episode is about so much more than loss. It's about grief in the body, safe spaces for queer siblings, and what it means to move with your grief instead of away from it. In This Episode: (0:00:00) – Meet Stephen and Remembering Stacy Stephen shares who Stacy was, their sibling bond through movement, and the moment that changed everything. (0:04:00) – Movement as Medicine: Honoring Stacy Through Dance Stephen describes how continuing cheer, gymnastics, and dance helped him stay close to his sister and move through grief. (0:05:00) – Coming Out and Catastrophe: The Last Conversation Stephen tells the powerful story of coming out to his sister just days before the fatal car accident. It was the first time he told anyone he liked boys. (0:06:30) – The Car Accident and Immediate Aftermath He recalls the surreal moment of waking up in the hospital, already knowing deep in his bones that Stacy was gone. (0:08:00) – Back to School, No Time to Grieve Just a week after the accident, Stephen was thrown back into high school, sports, and work using distraction to survive. (0:11:00) – Survivor Guilt, Queer Identity, and Grieving Alone Stephen reflects on how his queer identity shaped his grief and how he struggled to find representation and resources. (0:14:00) – Why Queer Grief Spaces Are Essential Maya and Stephen dive into why queer-specific grief groups matter, and how judgment—even within sibling spaces can create harm. (0:21:00) – The Turning Point at 21: A Grief Conference Shifts Everything Stephen's mother encouraged him to attend a grief conference, where a simple dance skit helped him feel seen and opened a path toward healing. (0:25:00) – Becoming a Social Worker and Healing Through Service Stephen shares how his desire to help others evolved into a career in social work and ultimately into his grief-centered platform. (0:27:00) – Founding Embrace the Darkness He explains why toxic positivity doesn't work, and how this powerful name emerged from his belief that we must sit with the dark to truly heal. (0:43:00) – Parasympathetic Nervous System & Breathwork as Reset Maya and Stephen discuss how breathwork activates the vagus nerve and helps shift the body from chaos to calm. (0:47:00) – The Mission Moving Forward Stephen talks about his workshops, his work with siblings globally, and his dream to bring more somatic healing into the grief world. About Embrace the Darkness Stephen is the founder of Embrace The Darkness, a platform that provides breathwork, sibling grief support, and LGBTQ+-affirming spaces for healing. Stephen is starting a 6-month program and is offering $1,000 off for any surviving sibling.

We spend so much time focusing on our relationships with other people that it's easy to forget we matter too. The relationship we have with ourselves is the foundation for every other relationship in our lives, and when that self-connection is strained or neglected, everything else feels harder.Today, I'm sharing a special rebroadcast from the Raising Boys, Building Men podcast, hosted by Master Coach Heidi Allsop. In this conversation with my fellow She Rises co-authors, Michelle Keil and Maria Hendershot, we discussed how the themes we each write about in the book—wholeness over hustle culture, creativity, nervous system regulation, and joy—directly support moms who want to care for themselves and their kids at the same time.One of the most important reminders in this conversation is that our kids are always watching. They're learning what adulthood looks like from how we live. When we show them that life isn't meant to be lived in a constant state of burnout or perfectionism, we give them a very different template for their own lives and relationships.Strengthening our relationship with ourselves doesn't take anything away from the people we love—it actually allows us to better foster those relationships. In this episode, we share practical, doable ways to step out of hustle culture and back into self-connection, without adding another thing to your to-do list. This conversation is about remembering who you are, why your wellbeing matters, and how small shifts can change everything.What you'll learn:How to start small with self-care when slowing down feels uncomfortableHow to work with your nervous system and when doing less feels dangerousWhy joy is a birthright, not a reward for finishing your to-do listHow simple creative practices can regulate your nervous system and quiet overthinkingWhy modeling rest and boundaries can teach your kids what adulthood looks likeYou can read the full show notes here.About Heidi AllsopHeidi Allsop is a Certified Life Coach, Social Worker, and proud Mom of five sons. Known as the Boy Mom Coach, Heidi specializes in empowering moms to strengthen their relationship with their sons, so they can truly enjoy him at every age. With nearly three decades of experience, Heidi understands the challenges of raising boys in today's world.

Empathy and compassion are qualities Brynn Service has in spades, and they are enabling her to make a difference the lives of Saskatoon's homeless population and those who are at risk of homelessness. Brynn is the Saskatoon supervisor of a national program called Coordinated Access, and she shares why this work means so much to her in this episode of YXE Underground.Saskatoon continues to face the challenges of a growing homelessness population. A point-in-time count conducted on October 16th of last year found that 1,931 individuals were experiencing homelessness. That number is up by 29 percent from 2024. Brynn was one of the people who helped conduct the count and knows the need for people experiencing homelessness to get help is high. She also knows there is a large group of people and organizations who are ready to help, and they are working together to reach people in need. Brynn became the Supervisor of the Coordinated Access program last August. The program is designed to standardize the intake and assessment process for individuals experiencing or at risk of homelessness under one umbrella. It connects individuals and families to the right housing and other support services as efficiently as possible. The Saskatoon contract for the Coordinated Access program was awarded to Métis Nation-Saskatchewan, and the organization hired Brynn to be the supervisor. There are 13 partner organizations in Saskatoon that are a part of the Coordinated Access program alongside Métis Nation-Saskatchewan, and as you will hear in our conversation, Brynn loves working with them to make a difference in the community. Those 13 partner organizations are CUMFI, Persons Living with AIDS Network, Saskatoon Crisis Intervention Services, Elizabeth Fry Society, Station 20 West, John Howard Society, YWCA, The Salvation Army, Saskatoon Council on Aging, OUT Saskatoon, EGADZ, Sanctum Care Group, and The Mustard Seed. I have been wanting to feature Brynn for quite some time. She is a Social Worker who has worked in the justice system and with people with Intellectual Disabilities. Brynn is one of those people who leaves you feeling inspired after a conversation, and that was certainly the case for this episode. If you enjoy this episode and are a fan of the podcast, please feel free to leave a glowing 5-star review and share it with your friends. Word of mouth is, I think, the best way to share podcasts, and I really do appreciate your support in spreading the word about YXE Underground.You can find the podcast on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. Simply search YXE Underground and you will find some lovely photos of Brynn Service taken by Saskatoon photographer and the pride of Abbey, Saskatchewan, Rona Andreas.A big thank to the wonderful Rob Rongve and his fantastic team at RBC Dominion Securities in North Battleford for supporting this episode. Rob has been a dear friend for many years, and his support of all things YXE Underground means the world to me. If you are looking for someone to help manage your finances or invest your money, I can't recommend Rob and his team enough. They have been taking care of me for over a decade and I wouldn't be able to buy all the LEGO I do without their help. Thanks Rob.Cheers...Eric Host, Producer, Editor: Eric AndersonTheme Music: Andrew DicksonWebsite: https://www.yxeunderground.comRecorded: On Treaty 6 Territory and the traditional homeland of the Metis
In this episode of Your Business Greatness, host Simone Sloan and co-host Rich Bachelor welcome Christina Van Sickle, Director of Professional Practice at the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers. The conversation explores the world of nonprofit board governance, discussing the motivations for joining boards, the crucial differences between operational and strategic roles, and the importance of trust and communication between boards and executive directors. Christina shares her journey from joining her first nonprofit board to gain professional insight to now serving on boards aligned with her personal passions, while all three speakers emphasize the need for proper governance training, strategic focus, and realistic time commitments when serving on nonprofit boards. This is a real conversation for anyone thinking about joining a non-profit board. Key TakeawaysBoard governance requires a fundamentally different mindset than operational work – it is about strategic oversight ("noses in, fingers out") rather than hands-on implementation Trust between the board and executive director is built through transparency, clear communication, probing questions, and mutual understanding of respective roles and responsibilitiesNew board members need proper orientation, mentoring, and governance training to understand the unique culture and processes of board work, which is not intuitive Strategic plans are essential guardrails that prevent "shiny ball syndrome" and scope creep, helping organizations focus limited resources on agreed-upon priorities aligned with their missionBoard service requires realistic time commitment including preparation before meetings, and board members should be personally passionate about the organization's mission to contribute meaningfullyProspective board members should spend time with the organization and its staff before joining to understand what drives their work and build authentic connection to the mission and community servedBoard members must remember to apply their professional skills (strategy, finance, entrepreneurship) to board work while maintaining the discipline to stay at the strategic level rather than getting into operational weeds

Licensed clinical social worker Tammy Weitzman dedicated 23 years of her career to caring for cancer patients—from the moment of diagnosis through treatment, survivorship, and sometimes end of life. But her stellar track record as a source of comfort to ailing patients in their hour of need wasn't enough for her to keep her job. Tammy's story reveals how DEI ideology can infiltrate even the most sacred spaces in healthcare, ultimately costing her everything she'd worked for.Tammy describes how her workplace at Seattle's Fred Hutch Cancer Center transformed after 2017, when self-described "social justice warriors" entered her department. She was called a "white kike" by a colleague, harassed for her friendship with someone in the Trump administration, and subjected to mandatory DEI sessions that dismissed her own experiences with antisemitism. When she pushed back against an email encouraging therapists to bring political conversations into patient care, she received a three-page complaint accusing her of "white privilege"—and was terminated ten days later for "lack of ethnic sensitivity."We explore what it means when institutions prioritize ideology over their core mission, how the female-dominated helping professions have become breeding grounds for social aggression masked as compassion, and what it takes to rebuild after your career and character have been destroyed. Tammy shares how she filed a lawsuit that settled quickly, relocated across the country, and rebuilt her practice from the ground up—all while becoming a source of support for others experiencing similar persecution.A licensed clinical social worker for 25 years, Tammy Weitzman has presented her work around the world. Born and raised in Toronto, she completed her graduate degree in New York. Tammy spent most of her career caring for cancer patients and their families, particularly those undergoing treatment of hematologic malignancies such as leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma, and stem cell transplantation. Although gifted at her job, her career took a downturn when “woke” colleagues created a hostile working atmosphere, harassing her with antisemitic slurs. After she objected to a colleague sending a biased political article to social workers over company email, Tammy was abruptly terminated from her job in Seattle. Tammy now counsels in private practice as an LCSW in North Carolina.Tammy's counseling websiteEmail: tammyw@wefixbrains.comBooks mentioned in this episode:- Imagine Heaven by John Burke- Imagine the God of Heaven by John Burke[00:00:00] Start[00:07:22] Why Oncology: Father's Death from Cancer[00:11:57] Wisdom from a Dying Patient[00:20:41] 2017: Social Justice Warriors Arrive[00:34:28] Called a "White Kike" by Colleague[00:44:00] Friend in Trump Administration Exposed[00:54:19] Terminated for "Lack of Ethnic Sensitivity"[00:56:01] Decision to Fight Back[01:09:52] Filing Lawsuit and Rebuilding LifeROGD REPAIR Course + Community gives concerned parents instant access to over 120 lessons providing the psychological insights and communication tools you need to get through to your kid.

Most calls aren't bank robberies; they're frantic welfare checks, neighbor standoffs over fences, a parent terrified for a missing teen, or someone hearing voices at 2 a.m. We sit down with Dr. Sarah Abbott, a pioneer of the police–clinician co-response model, to unpack how pairing a trained clinician with officers at the point of contact reshapes outcomes: fewer arrests, fewer injuries, and far more dignity for the person in distress.Sarah shares the origin story from Massachusetts, where “jail diversion” began as a humane alternative for low-level offenses tangled with mental illness and grew into a comprehensive crisis response approach now spreading nationally and internationally. We get honest about the early skepticism and what changed minds: consistent data, strong command support, and the day-to-day reality that most police work involves behavioral health, not crime. We also go inside Section 12—involuntary transport in Massachusetts—and why sending officers with little background information is risky for everyone. The fix is coordination and clarity: share what you legally can, add a clinician to the response, and approach the door with a plan rooted in safety and rapport.Training is the force multiplier. Sarah breaks down how academy curricula evolved to center practical de-escalation and communication, then explains why the biggest gains come later with advanced, scenario-driven refreshers once officers have real street context. We talk tactics for engaging someone in psychosis without lying or escalating, why 988 is essential but not a complete substitute, and how blending 988, CIT, and co-response builds a smarter, safer safety net. We close with Sarah's work at William James College and the new Center for Crisis Response and Behavioral Health, designed to scale what works across departments and borders.If you care about first responder mental health, public safety, and better outcomes for people in crisis, this conversation offers a clear roadmap. Listen, share it with your team, and leave a review so more agencies can find these tools and put them to work in their communities.To reach Sarah, please visit her website at: https://www.abbottsolutionsforjustice.comSarah can also befound on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/abbott-solutions-for-justice-llc/?viewAsMember=trueFreed.ai: We'll Do Your SOAP Notes!Freed AI converts conversations into SOAP note.Use code Steve50 for $50 off the 1st month!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Talking about what Social Work Salaries actually looks like in this profession. This is a collaborative podcast with the hosts of Social Work to Wealth. Between Catherine's experience in medical social work and Taylor's salary database with over 1,500 entries, we looked at how social workers are getting paid and why we need more transparency around it.This episode is all about shifting the mindset that social workers should expect to struggle financially. We talk through what influences salary, how job titles can open doors, and why it's valid to want better pay, even if you love the work you do. Catherine also shares how she's built multiple income streams and why knowing your financial needs is one of the best things you can do for your career.Takeaways From This Episode:Why salary transparency helps shift the culture of financial struggle in social workWhat the real salary landscape looks like across roles and regions (yes, some social workers are making $300K)Why it's okay to leave a job simply because you need more moneyHow to think about total compensation, not just your hourly rateHow to identify job titles outside the “social worker” labelWhy diversifying your income is worth considering (and what that can actually look like)Tips for negotiating your salaryMentioned resources:Supervision Log & Resource Guide on AmazonSalary Database – Submit or browse entries____________________________________Tap Here to Subscribe to the Social Workers, Rise!
