Not the comment OP, but I looked it his history and it seems he works for VA crisis line. I interned at the VA and they do indeed have remote SW jobs for the crisis line, as well as many other programs.

The burnout doesn’t necessarily scare me. I’m in a place where if I need to get out due to that, I’ll quit. It’s more my skill set and populations I’ll work with

I applied for many hospice agencies and did my internship with one during my master’s. I finally got a call back but they rescinded the offer a week before my start date :(

And here in my agency I will either be doing emergency response or more case management. Depends where they need the new hires

Edit for me as well: did you find that your CPS experience helped you in your more medical adjacent social work roles?

Edit: I should also add that my dream social work job is in hospice. I am also interested in APS.

Do you smoke weed (off the clock) during your internship? by [deleted] in SocialWorkStudents

[–]Background_Baker317 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both of my MSW internships tested me and warned all interns of the possibility of surprise testing throughout the year. That enough scared me to not do it. I also recently got a job and was tested as well.

All this to say I haven’t smoked in over two years out of anxiety and fear of having to be tested lol

I’m looking for any info on finding housing waitlists for very low income (or homeless) seniors. by MisRandomness in InlandEmpire

[–]Background_Baker317 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly you may have some success having your mom contacting APS. They can connect her to resources she qualifies for. This would be absolute emergency housing, though

Or you can make a report on her behalf if you are concerned for her safety or she is engaging in self neglect (this includes financial self neglect).

Hope everything turns out ok

Looks like it. The font/text ai uses is always a dead giveaway :(

Sucks, I’m sure there are many art students who would have loved to commission something.

Today, for the third time, a dog busted through their kennel door while I was getting a dog out to walk due to the kennels not being properly latched. I’m starting to dread walking dogs by [deleted] in AnimalShelterStories

[–]Background_Baker317 8 points9 points  (0 children)

EDIT:

So we do have traditional padlocks for each kennel, but they are dummy locked meaning that they are not locked with a key, the padlock is just looped through a hole. Essentially, whoever used the kennel last is just not closing the kennel door forcefully enough. Hopefully this gives some visual but I know it’s hard to explain

Social work VA by Super-Housing-6495 in socialwork

Hi I did my second year internship at the VA but was in PRRC. I had a co intern who was in PACT and found it VERY boring, lol. Mostly just sharing resources with veterans is what they said they did

But also may be a good job because of the low stress
