Trauma Stewardship (New Book). I’ve been feeling the emotional way of our studies lately, and this book feels so timely. It’s all about how to care for yourself while you’re caring for others, especially in a professional setting. #traumastewardship #socialwork #socialworkersoftiktok #selfcare

The practice of self-care is not being selfish. Prioritize your own health, so you can be there for your clients. Taking breaks makes a difference. Take care of yourselves. #SocialWork #SelfCare #BurnoutPrevention #PracticeTips

Termination does not equal failure; it’s a planned adaptation. Closing the professional relationship effectively ensures growth and preps the client for independence. Don’t forego this process!

Hey everyone! I just posted a new blog! I want to discuss a crucial skill for social workers: Culture Humility.

It’s a catalyst for effectively building a stronger rapport. Read the full post here: sowkblog.blogspot.com/2025/11/surp...

#SocialWorker #CulturalHumility #MSW

Social workers cannot place a “fix” on the client. Our job is to coach them to utilizing their own strength. The most empowering clinical strategy is to stop oneself from “fixing” the client. Practice more active listening, and less diagnosing.

Advocacy is more than just speaking for others; it’s encouraging clients to speak for themselves. A social worker’s job within this complex system is to transcribe bureaucracy into action, and eliminate barriers. This is real work.
#SocialWork #Advocacy #MSW #MacroPractice

Don’t forget the differences between sympathy and empathy. Sympathy is feeling FOR someone. Empathy is feeling WITH someone. As social workers, our drive remains between that perspective. That’s the key to effective practice.

Ensuring boundary setting is not an act of being unkind; rather it’s an essential safety tool. Setting boundaries helps avert #Burnout and helps mainstay focus on the client. Practice saying “no” without feeling guilty.

Discharge planning is a high-stakes game of chess. ♟️ As an MSW, I break down the 3 strategic rules I use for complex hospital discharges (resource management & comms are key!). Read the guide for success: sowkblog.blogspot.com/2025/11/coor...

MI in psych hospitals: Research on children, vets, & geriatric pts shows MI significantly boosts aftercare follow-through, even w/o reducing suicidal ideation. Big win for long-term health! New post: sowkblog.blogspot.com/2025/11/moti... #SocialWork #MI #MentalHealth #Psych

That sounds like a wonderful set of practices. It's so important to be intentional about self-care, especially in the first year of the program. "It's not easy, it's a practice" is a fantastic key takeaway. Wishing you the best!

As an MSW about to graduate, my self-care starts with my Spotify queue. Listening to a language I barely understand (Mi Reflejo is the hill I'll die on) forces me to actively listen and stop anticipating. Best mental reset.
Q: What hobby forces your brain to truly rest?

Quick thought from my final MSW stretch: We need to normalize "system fatigue." Navigating bureaucracy is exhausting for clients and workers. My counter-strategy? Structured escapism via a controller. 🎮

Q: What's the biggest bureaucratic barrier you hit this week?

At my MSW internship in child & adolescent therapy, I’m learning that listening is more powerful than giving advice. Small breakthroughs matter, and kids carry so much courage. It’s challenging but deeply meaningful 💙 #SocialWork #MSW
