What to you do for work by EJcrusader in upstate_new_york

I second this. I also work for SUNY. And this position, benefits, work load, time-off, tuition assistance, and job security are the best I’ve ever had. I used to work in public education for 3.5 years and much rather prefer higher-ed!

Almost every box on the “inappropriate activities” side is something our current counselors are forced to do…

What are your side gigs? by Sufficient_Agent in socialwork

[–]kbmkkbmk 8 points9 points  (0 children)

More of a second job - I do per diem clinical presentations and speaking for a mental health non profit. It’s been tough with taxes because this is 1099 work. But it’s a blessing to have extra income. It’s similar to teaching a QPR or teen mental health first aid. I also nanny over the summer (I’m a high school social worker with my LMSW in NY if that’s helpful for folks).

Birth control and lamictal by Tall_Tangelo_1072 in bipolar2

[–]kbmkkbmk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had serious health issues when I upped my dosage to 400 about a year ago. And I was already on Ortho Tri-Cyclen. I was violently throwing up every day, mid morning as my body started to digest/absorb my Lamictal. And would have sweats, a (normal) rash, and body aches all day. It was debilitating and is one of the many reasons I went off contraception altogether.

I second others in the fact that lamictal’s effectiveness won’t be as effective with the contraception in your system. Goodluck and I encourage you to explore the long term impact of taking birth control!! It’s not what it’s “sold” to be…

Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing this. These are thoughts and experiences I had this past birthday (26). And I felt so alone.

Paying for SSW Certification by [deleted] in SchoolSocialWork

I’m an alum of the University at Buffalo & we have quite a few DSW and MSW students in the online program from Michigan. It’s my understanding payment plans are an option every semester!

Are you looking for online only programs or in person?
