Two weeks ago, I posted this: "Dear Social Worker, your MSW+ is one of the most valuable degrees out there—I PROMISE!" In that post, I shared ten industries where my MSW degree has been an asset, and to my surprise, it went semi-viral! Over 1,000 social work students and practitioners resonated with the message. Many shared that they were on the verge of leaving the field but felt reinspired to stay, others expressed excitement as they approach the completion of their programs, and some felt relief, knowing they’re in the right career. Over the past two weeks, I've received countless messages from both aspiring and practicing social workers, seeking advice and support on how to truly succeed in this field. Having been a social worker for over a decade, with most of my experience in trauma and maternal health psychotherapy, I've observed an increasing exodus from the profession. However, I don’t believe this is due to the field itself being unworthy. Instead, it's the result of a system that no longer supports the professionals within it. Recognizing that thousands of social workers are eager to thrive without burning out, I’ve decided to invest time in addressing this challenge. Social workers are essential to our world—we deserve a seat at the table. I am dedicating my time to guide early-career social workers in taking a unique approach to this field. The field isn’t dying, it’s evolving. Yesterday, I hosted a webinar on how to unlock your full potential as a social worker in 2024 and beyond. Tonight, I’m hosting another session. These webinars reached capacity in just 24 hours, with 200 people signing up to learn how to maximize their social work careers. #MSW #SocialWorkers #LCSW #MentalHealth #GlobalImpact

Hey #SocialWorker, it took until 2021 for the U.S. social work code of ethics to include self-care, and it's still framed as optional. ?? So I'm wondering, have you ever found a resource that frames self-care, and specifically professional self-care, at the macro level? This week, I'm highlighting the Self-Care Matrix and my Fireside Chat with Tracey Kelley Neal, LMSW, and I've adapted the social ecological model with some of the strategies that I have used and observed to practice and promote professional-care for social workers. ?? What would you add? Interested to know your thoughts / feelings / views on this topic. ?? What aspects of social worker wellness do you want to learn more about?

As social workers, we know how diverse and impactful our profession can be, but it's important to remind others—especially those just entering the field that our skills and expertise aren't confined to traditional roles. I recently had a conversation with a fellow social worker who was unaware that non-traditional roles even existed within our profession. After sharing my own journey and explaining the many opportunities outside of the typical settings, she was truly amazed at the breadth of possibilities available to us! This experience reminded me of how crucial it is for us to educate and inspire others about the different paths we can take. It only takes one conversation to open someone's eyes and spark new ideas. Let’s keep pushing the boundaries and empower our peers to explore the diverse, fulfilling roles available to social workers. We are not limited to one mold, and we have the power to shape the future of our profession in countless ways. ?? #SocialWork #NonTraditionalRoles #SocialWorkInnovation #Empowerment #DiversityInSocialWork #CareerGrowth

Today, on Breaking The Myths about what Social Workers do, I present to you a career in Administration and Management. According to the National Association of Social Workers, "Social work administrators are proactive leaders in both private and public agencies that provide services to clients." Can you think of private and public agencies in your state where a Social Worker holds a position in Administration and Management? If so, consider sharing this post with them, and let's see if we can spread the word about the valuable contributions they make. https://buff.ly/44EPPqs DISCLAIMER: I am a Social Work student, and my goal is to share information to hopefully spark some positive conversations and shed light on the wonder field of Social Work!
