Podcasts about social workers

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.

“Water is a Right: The Fight for Environmental Justice in Detroit” w/ Demeeko WilliamsJoin us with guest Demeeko Williams, Founder and Chief Director of Hydrate Detroit (hydratedetroit.org), to explore the struggle for water justice in one of America's Blackest cities. As part of our Black Liberation and Abolition series, this conversation centers on the racialized politics of water shutoffs, the criminalization of poverty, and the community-led resistance that redefines access to water as a human right — not a commodity.Demeeko will reflect on how systemic disinvestment, environmental racism, and austerity politics have led to Detroiters, predominantly Black and low-income... being denied access to clean water. We unpack how this crisis ties directly into broader abolitionist work: dismantling the structures that make survival a punishment, and building alternatives rooted in care, equity, and collective power.***Turning 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. change.org/Justice4GerardTurning 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-Rev.

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. Keisha Henry is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and master social worker (MSW) with 16 years of experience specializing in trauma-informed therapy. She primarily works with women, adolescents, and parents, helping them navigate emotional healing through strength-based therapeutic approaches. As the author of Healing from the Heart: Lessons from My Journey and a doctoral researcher, Keisha focuses on the psychological impacts of father absence on women and girls. Today, she shared personal experiences with father absence, discussed her research on generational trauma, and highlighted the importance of understanding early family dynamics in shaping identity and relationships.

Ann Kelsey was a UCLA graduate when she volunteered for the Army Special Services to serve in Vietnam as a civilian librarian. ​In Vietnam, Kelsey managed the U.S. Army Headquarters Area Command Library in Saigon before overseeing four libraries across Cam Ranh Bay, the Sixth Convalescent Center, Dong Ba Thin, and Nha Trang. These libraries functioned much like small-town public libraries, providing soldiers with access to books, records, and movies. They served as crucial sanctuaries, offering soldiers a respite from the war and a connection to the familiar comforts of home. Kelsey's role extended beyond managing library resources; she assisted soldiers with correspondence courses, helping them pursue educational goals amidst the chaos of war. Her dedication to supporting the troops highlighted the importance of intellectual engagement and morale-boosting activities during the conflict. After her service in Vietnam from 1969 to 1970, Ann continued her career in library science, working in various libraries and specializing in automation planning and system procurement. She remained actively involved in veterans' organizations and efforts to document the oral histories of veterans, ensuring that the experiences of those who served are preserved for future generations. ​wliw.org+2oralhistory.rutgers.edu+2news.ucr.edu+2 Ann's experiences in Vietnam not only exemplify the critical role of civilian support during wartime but also underscore the profound impact such service can have on both the individuals who serve and those they support.​ René Johnson similarly felt a compelling need to understand the U.S. involvement in the war firsthand. In 1969, after graduating from Florida State University, she joined the American Red Cross's Supplemental Recreation Activities Overseas (SRAO) program, becoming one of the esteemed “Donut Dollies.” ​ René was initially stationed at Chu Lai with the Americal Division and later at Cu Chi with the 25th Infantry Division. Her primary role involved traveling to remote fire support bases via helicopter, where she and her colleagues organized morale-boosting activities for the troops. A typical day entailed boarding a helicopter around six in the morning, visiting one or two firebases, conducting programs for at least five hours, serving lunch, and then returning to base to prepare for the next day's activities. ​ The challenges were significant. René  recounted that visiting soldiers in hospitals, especially those with severe injuries, was particularly taxing. She grappled with finding the right words to comfort those who had sustained critical wounds, such as lost limbs or disfigured faces, and endeavored to reassure them about their futures. ​ Despite the hardships, René found her work deeply fulfilling. After completing her one-year tour as a Donut Dollie, she felt a profound connection to Vietnam and its people. This bond led her to return with the U.S. Army Special Services in the Service Club division, further supporting the troops and local communities. Betty Burris felt it wasn't fair that our men were subject to the draft and women weren't. Betty applied to the Air Force but was told she'd have to wait for induction, probably due to a quota that limited the number of women in the military. As a USO volunteer in Philadelphia, she learned of the American Red Cross (ARC) Service in Military Hospitals program. Betty served in the ARC as a Social Worker from 1970 to 1978 in the Portsmouth Naval Regional Medical Center (Virginia), Valley Forge Army Hospital (Pennsylvania), 95th Evacuation Hospital (Vietnam) , Saigon Army Hospital (Vietnam), Wiesbaden Air Force Hospital (Germany), and the Philadelphia Naval Regional Medical Center (Pennsylvania).       We'll also talk with other women who served in Vietnam with the US Agency for International Development , Non-governmental organizations, and the American Red Cross. ​ We're grateful to UPMC for Life  for sponsoring this event!

Why You Feel Undervalued In Your Social Work Job & How to Overcome It | Macro Social Work Career Coach

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.

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.
