• Chapter 5: Social Workers, Imagine a World...
    Dec 12 2022

    In Chapter 5, Tashiana, Taryn, and Mayan dive into how the innate skills of Social Workers can be applied in positions outside of the "norm". Real Talk: We are highly prepared to do other jobs than what we are usually hired to do; this goes beyond agency work, institution settings, and private practice. We have a laugh at the skills that we can’t necessarily write on our resumes, but can be included in the IF YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW category. Taryn then shares about a colleague she knows who went a different route after she became licensed, which gives us all hope if you're considering roles that aren't typical in the Social Work or Mental Health field. All of this with some learning along the way...What others roles do you think Social Workers can take on?
