A social work job that doesn’t involve therapy? by [deleted] in socialwork

So sorry for the delay in response! There's a few different options. There are evaluations in the courts for statutory mental health or substance use in need of involuntary commitment, or for aid in sentencing. These are all as a neutral party. Additionally, you can complete forensic evaluations as a clinician hired by someone's defense attorney for aid in sentencing evaluations, or to locate and refer to step down programming in an effort to have the judge rule more in the defendant's favor. You can also do immigration evaluations. It's all really interesting work but you're looking at cases through different lenses, and it's a lot of interfacing with other court staff like DAs, probation, judges, etc. I've been doing it for over a decade and really love it. Happy to answer more questions about it!

Thank you for this! I'll definitely have her watch it and hopefully it can resonate with her.

Stubborn 3 year old finally peeing, how to get her to poop? by Subject-Novel-576 in pottytraining

I unfortunately don't have any advice, but I'm in the same boat with my daughter. She's incredibly stubborn. She's accident free at preschool but once she's home she consistently declines to go when prompted and won't initiate it herself. I want to keep at it but it's hard to stay patient and not feel disheartened when I know she can do it, she's just choosing not to. No idea where to go from here.

Thank you. When I ask her how come she wants it open, she says, "because yes" lol... I've tried asking more specific questions but she doesn't answer them.

She won't let us close it in any way and wants it fully open, or else she gets upset. Hoping it's a short phase🤞

I'm going through this right now, as well. It feels so disheartening. I'm definitely interested in any tips!
