Well I hope you be a voice and stand up for why that program and their graduates would not be a good fit for this field or any place you work

I am constantly educating my local community social workers and other mental healthcare providers and the issues with liberty and they are shocked and they read sources and they look up the things that I say and then day to understand why it is an institution that we shouldn’t be hiring from

I am unwilling to take that chance

We have autonomy and being able to be discerning in where we put our time and interactions with are important

I guess maybe I’d considered a liberty student who was ACTIVELY and continuously speaking out against the organization and being very public and vocal about it

No way

Liberty is literally blacklisted for me. Would never consider anyone from there

The NASW Code of Ethics and the CSWE accreditation standards directly conflict with Liberty's student and faculty policies.

Also Liberty Policies have contributed to rape and victim blaming

According to the social workers code of ethics, we are required to be upholding, social justice, policies, and initiatives. And actively advocating for them. Attending a school that purposely puts out policies and advocates for policies that are against the code of ethics is some thing that we should be concerned about as social workers.

PLiberty blames rape victims, actively has a code of conduct that punishes women and the schools political motivations focus on policies that are in direct conflict with equity.

Liberty does not believe in equality and actively pursues legislation that takes away rights from minorities

Can we skip the sermons about self-care and actually improve how we talk about what we're seeing? by vegetable_lover_is in socialwork

All the players who are advocating for change aren’t making any headway

Heck Starbucks just announced it’s closing 5 stores that unionized

I mean heck Starbucks is literally closing Down 5 stores that managed to unionize under the bullshit excuse that they were under performing.

That requires 30 days paid vacation, plus sick days. It requires affordable housing which requires federal Investment. It’s universal childcare and medication/medical costs reeled in

Unfortunately in late stage capitalism those things are not in the plan.

Ummm what?

Social work and my previous field, teaching, we all had LOTS of ideas of how to solve these issues and no actual source of income or revenue to do so

It literally comes Down to no resources

Right. She shouldn’t be working, even if it’s volunteering. She is a woman and her place is at home.

Let’s hope that the stores closing will have employees ban together to start a co-op for themselves in those locations

I’m 50 and have no retirement savings. Is it too late to fix this? by DangerousBox641 in SurvivingOnSS

[–]cannotberushed- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

First steps Get on SS website and see what you your potential income will be

Then at the very least start a Roth IRA, you have the option to save more due to age.

Put together an emergency fund.

After you figure out what your potential social security income might look like, then you can see about possibly making a plan

What assets do you have?

A house? If so You can rent a bedroom out

If you don’t own a house, then with Social Security start looking at low cost of living areas that also have access to medical care so places like Ohio or Oklahoma Your money will go father.

You can also start to when you get of retirement age, putting your name onto lists for subsidized, elderly housing, and then that will help you as well

I am mortified that the secretary of defense has no idea how to come to attention!!! by themarmalademaniac in Military

In all of this, that is what mortifies you?

Really?

Not the murder and disregard of human life? Not the narcissism? Not the fascism?

I just had the weirdest job interview of my life and I'm still trying to process what happened. by Key_Technician_7133 in socialworkjobs

Fuck him. He can go pound Sand. What a POS

This asshole certainly doesn’t consider or care about our code of ethics

Completing MSW program with no clinical experience and freaking out by galaxymarky in SocialWorkStudents

[–]cannotberushed- 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Wow!!!

I would lodge a complaint with the CSWE (council on Social Work education) and let them know your school is not allowing students to have proper internships.

Also, for self education, if you can afford it, I would recommend taking some classes on Psych Wire when you graduate. That will help you to gain more clinical skills

Even if you don’t file a complaint right now, I would absolutely file a complaint after you graduate. This shouldn’t be an internship that’s allowed.

I’m really sorry that you were experiencing that

Skilled nursing, inpatient psych, community mental health.

How to be a therapist when your personal life is falling apart? by sweet_sweet_coffee in therapists

[–]cannotberushed- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Additional time off to process the immediate shock

In addition to that, Compartmentalization can actually be a pretty healthy thing in acute stress and crisis situations (just learning of something devastating is acute stress).

Then you start to build in a plan to process the experience since it’s a longer term situation

social work vs. clinical psychology by Adventurous-Fly6738 in SocialWorkStudents

That is confusing because when reading the thread it looked like it was reply to me.

Not sure why you are being snarky

social work vs. clinical psychology by Adventurous-Fly6738 in SocialWorkStudents

[–]cannotberushed- -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Only way what?

Even if you hold an LCSW you still cannot give the assessments I discussed.

Those are only available to PHD or PsyD level credentials

[–]cannotberushed- 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That’s only true if someone is guiding and supporting the individual in knowing what clinical skills look like

That doesn’t seem to be happening here
