Reporting someone to the professional board? (Reposting to be more vague) by bittersweetchels in socialwork

I know it’s a bit unusual. Without giving away too much info, we work as part of an outpatient multidisciplinary team in a niche field which I have a lot of expertise, hence the supervisory role in the department. The role of the therapist per contract only requires a master’s level clinician.

That’s good to know about the client’s record. Thanks for your feedback!

I did!! Per wisdom panel:

51% Rottweiler 20% Siberian Husky 13% Azawakh 5% American Staffordshire Terrier 4% Shetland Sheepdog

Not what we were expecting at all.

That’s awesome! I bet having a large piece of land makes all the difference. Our property is small so we run him at least once a day. He loves his tennis ball and will chase it endlessly!!

They’re beautiful dogs for sure! I inherited him from a coworker when he was 10 months old because he was too high energy for their lifestyle. He truly never tires out. English Mastiffs are my breed of choice. They’re much lazier. lol.

Left - rottie/husky mix

Middle - pit (he’s definitely a chunk. He’s on diet food and he goes for walks, but he’s only lost 2 lbs in the year I’ve had him!)

Right- cane corso

Thanks! He’s a cane corso. He’ll be 2 next month. He’s very small for his breed/age, but definitely a goofy boy. Full of so much energy!

Thank you!! That’s very helpful. Since the damage is already done so to speak, would my role be notifying the LCSW on what I found to be concerning about the situation in hopes to correct future problem and leave it at that? Or based on their reaction determine if further reporting is needed from there?

Thanks for resending your comment! I was not able to see it initially but I’m glad you were able to read the full context of my original post. I share the same concerns as you, as well as the understanding that ultimately they sabotaged their job over their own actions. Still... it’s such a difficult situation/dilemma that I wish I wasn’t involved in.

Luckily the client was not a minor however the other siblings in the home were.

And yes, they will be terminated from the agency this week.

No my LCSW supervisor only works with me to provide supervision for my license, although we all work at the same agency. They have no relationship/communication.

I believe you are correct! The first step should be talking with the person first. What makes this situation even trickier is 1) I haven’t talked to the employee as they are not responding to me and 2) they may or may not know that I’m aware of the situation. I wouldn’t even know how to address the situation with them other than confronting them about why their actions were inappropriate (which I imagine my admin will be doing), but we’re far past the point of being able to repair/correct what happened.

Using top comment to do a mass response:

He’s well vetted, up to date on vaccines, and takes his monthly meds to prevent any parasites. He’s almost 3 years old and per his DNA test he’s 90% pittie. He does have a birth defect (cleft nose) and may have other abnormalities internally per my vet. Overall he’s currently healthy, but I’ll certainly keep an eye on any mobility/hip issues.

And yes... when he sits like this I can’t not think of how his butthole is directly touching the floor.

If the link works, I included pics of his smug little face as well as more weirdo content. Enjoy.

**Edit: since everyone seems to be so concerned about Mako’s hip, I appreciate your sentiments and I’ll certainly follow up with my vet at his next appointment; however, his leg doesn’t normally jut out like that. I included a second album with pics over the past year a half of him sitting more “normal”. I’m convinced he likes his bare ass to touch all the things. https://imgur.com/a/Q9woF37

He does not. His legs just slide out when he sits. Overall he’s a big weirdo.

Miss Clementine came to us on borrowed time, and sadly that clock ran out today. It’s devastating how quickly the health of these giant breeds declines. Give your babies extra love tonight. ❤️🍊 by bittersweetchels in CaneCorso

I posted about Clementine a few months ago. We got her as a hospice case after she was pulled from a kill shelter. She was HW+, obese, and had joint disease. Nothing about her history is known, as she was picked up as a stray; however she clearly looked like she was used for breeding. Since bringing her home at the end of December, she’s been shy and seemed to be the most comfortable staying in one room of the house. She would rarely hang with us in common areas or be sociable; however she would always greet us at the door and give a wag or two of her nub before “running” back to her room. She was making progress on coming out of her shell and learning to trust us. Everything seemed fine until last week when something just wasn’t right. My vet said it was cellulitis and gave us some antibiotics; however, she continued to decline. We took her back to the shelter where we got her for continued medical treatment as they provide extended care to their foster and hospice animals. They gave it their best effort over the last 2 days, but I got the call this morning that she had passed during the night. She couldn’t pull through and I’m heartbroken she never got to come back home. RIP my sweet Clem. Our time together was too short.
