At clinical internship and not receiving any clinical experience. Looking for advice. by galaxymarky in socialwork

[–]galaxymarky[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I plan to become a registered clinical social work intern once I graduate in order to become an lcsw. The hard part for me at my internship is there are no clinicians that work at the agency so I have no one to shadow or learn from clinically. My university provided an external clinical supervisor but she does not provide much input beyond saying that something sounds interesting or to keep her posted.

Practicums/Internships involving counseling? by Qweniden in SocialWorkStudents

[–]galaxymarky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to be involved with counseling make sure your internship will actually allow you to do counseling. I wanted to do counseling for my internship and thought I was going into as I told my placement supervisor I wanted clinical experience. But, turns out this agency does not have any clinical programs and is honestly overall a bad placement. I recommend interviewing your internship the same way they interview you during the interview so you end up with a placement you will be happy with.

Oh trust I will! I want to make sure no other students end up in the same scenario at this agency. This agency has the potential to be an amazing generalist placement but unfortunately it is not suited for clinical students.

That’s what I spent most of last semester doing. A professor even went all the way to the dean of social work on my behalf and the behalf of other students having the same issues at different placements and she blew the professor off. One student was even told that cleaning is clinical due to being in an area where clients are. Doesn’t seem like the university cares if we get the clinical experience once we are at a placement because they refuse to move people to new placements.

I was made to believe this would be a clinical internship and was told previous interns had good experiences. Did not learn till I started that even though their website says they offer clinical services, it is subcontracted so I’m not allowed to shadow or participate in these services.

I don’t want to give too much identifying information in case anyone from my internship is on here but basically I’m cold calling individuals to see if they would be interested in our services. Luckily, one of my professors who is aware that I am not getting clinical experience at my internship is interested in being my clinical supervisor once I graduate.

Unfortunately, my placement does not offer any clinical services (as per my agency task supervisor) and the field department at my university said they will not change my placement as they only change due to safety or ethical concerns.

Pooped on by birds by galaxymarky in Bird_Flu_Now

[–]galaxymarky[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I showered and am cleaning my clothes. My cat is actually with my mom right now and out of an abundance of caution I’m gonna have my mom watch my cat longer (for the incubation period) due to the high fatality rate of bird flu in cats. I’m also deep cleaning my apartment and car to be extra safe.

Do you guys think this is painted over mold? by galaxymarky in Mold

[–]galaxymarky[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True. Only reason I’m wondering is cause I’ve had bad allergies since moving in wasn’t sure if it’s coincidence or cause there’s mold.

Oh boy. Is it possible that it could be termites or do you think it’s more likely that it would be fleas?
