My university lecturer linked his students to your channel in Australia. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people within Australia suffered genocidal terrorism from British colonialism in 1788; to this day in Australia, First Nations people suffer transgenerational trauma.
Hello friends, comrades, and radical social workers! Since I have put this video out (and it's now approaching 10,000 views), I have been made aware of this video being used in social work education curricula at higher education institutions, which I think is both pretty neat and brings up some contradictions for me. If you are an instructor or faculty who has been using my video in a course that you teach, please consider the contradiction of using my freely accessibly video to supplement the teaching you are paid to do at an institution where students (such as the past me who made this video) are paying for their increasingly unaffordable education and/or provide unpaid labor at their internships/practicums. If you use content that I create in the context of a higher education institution please consider supporting my Ko-Fi page so I can continue sustaining this project: ko-fi.com/criticalhealingmoment
Right on! As a homeless person (couple) doing organizing from radical theory & praxis, I want to thank you & express how great to find your channel. It helps reinforce for me what I'm fighting against, also from my perspective being adopted by christo-fascist racists, from infancy, & raised in their cult, kicked out at 15 y.o. for no longer wanting to attend... I've been better prepared...w 5 yrs university, I try my best to do poverty scholar work as I can, circumstances are hard though. Community Organizing, now in a small town where we've been 3 years, we formed Mutual Aid group, now meeting weekly this summer. It's what works. It's complex but also a Sundown Town here, & fighting City Council 'devils'. Recent 'No Camping Ordinance', we're appealing on unconstitutionality. Incl all 3 orgs that "help" here are christian church-based & corrupt. Anyway, your focus caught my eye as lately I realized - Healing for Homeless ppl - is not on the radar. Been generating ideas and what's radically interesting about that. Always more ambition than ppl hours but we'll see. So many good ppl out there no matter how ill-portrayed in media. Ty again!
Wow that means a lot to me! I've toyed around with the idea of getting a PhD but academia never felt like the right fit. However, I love democratizing information! Thanks for watching :)
Thanks so much for this video, very informative and accessible! I'm generally for abolition, but am new to social work, so will hold out till I know more. :) (background music a little distracting/triggering)
So well organized. A perfect summary of the semester to review ahead of finals. Would love to see more of your content around programs and policies. Thank you for sharing!
Super informative and well done!! I would add that the Indian Child Welfare Act and surrounding advocacy wasn't just passed in response to boarding schools but also due to the rising rates of Native American kids being snatched off of reservations for private adoptions and to be put into foster care in the 50s-70s. All done under the often-explicit guise of "killing the indian, saving the man" and the discontinuity of cultures. By requiring placement preference for kids within their tribes and the involvement of tribal governments in these placements, ICWA is actually very relevant in discussions of tribal sovereignty. (I know there wasn't room to include all this in such a nicely condensed video, but thought I'd add for anyone who's interested).
This is so great! Thank you! I'm showing this in my Social Policy & Social Justice course as we're talking about the parallel histories of social work and social welfare policy.
Thank you for this video! Definitely required viewing for anyone in a social work program or social workers in general. I would be interested in seeing a video going more into policy
Love this, thanks for posting! Learned so much and great that it was a condensed version of a semester haha...I'm interested in applying to social work programs so I can obtain my LICSW and practice a form of therapy I'd like to call "ancestral therapy" or a form of therapy that honors our ancestral pathways of trauma and healing.
Very informative video.I appreciate the history you shared on the English poor law and how the churches very involved in early Social welfare by providing assistance.
Thank you for the suggestion. I am still a student so that is not something I know a lot about but maybe I will learn something interesting to share about it in the future.
Hi, I go to your former university and I just want to let you know the BSW program is using your video as course material online. Are you aware of this? I know you used to have a video up about how you felt abused by the institution and that it caused you to leave and transfer.
Hi there, I am aware that this video has been shown in the context of the program I just graduated from, but not the one I transferred from. If you'd like to discuss in more detail please dm me on Instagram or email me since I am not comfortable being specific with my location on my social media platforms. As of now there is not much I can do as I'd like this knowledge and information to be free and accessible to all in the field.
Your narrative is extremely compelling, but the underlying music that sounds like a tape being played backwards is really disruptive and unprofessional. Can you edit that out?
Thanks for the feedback! Like I commented to another person, I was new to making videos then and still getting used to working with the program. Hopefully my newer videos have better quality if you watch any future ones.
Interesting to frame it as oppressive vs what had to happen. Of course, by today's standards it would be seen as oppressive, but every country on the plant was suffering from these woes and luckily these systems were created. Were they perfect? Far from it. But it was a necessary evolution for humankind to shift away from what was the previous status quo. Maybe a poor analogy (as it just popped into my head) but am I glad WW2 happened? Not really, but the outcome has been a global reduction in the rates of war across the globe.
Watching this in 2024! So well put together!
Thank you for including turtle Island

Ty again!
This is really well done! I have a PhD in social work and couldn't put together something so comprehensive and impactful. Thanks for sharing with us!!

Thanks for adding that! The truth needs to be put there!

Thank you for watching! Wow required watching! I’m so flattered. I’m thinking about possibly doing a video on Reagan era welfare reforms.
@@CriticalHealingMoment That would be a great topic! There's a lot of myth surrounding that era, and a lot of people don't really know what happened.
I think you did a phenomenal job trying to put many complex realities into a 20 minute video!
Well done!🙌🏾🙂↕️
My professor assigned your video and wowwww! I have learned so much from you, thank you!!
Finally, someone is talking about the truth behind social work
What would the alternative have been??
Beautifully done. So concise and informative about such a sweeping history.
Love this, thanks for posting! Learned so much and great that it was a condensed version of a semester haha...I'm interested in applying to social work programs so I can obtain my LICSW and practice a form of therapy I'd like to call "ancestral therapy" or a form of therapy that honors our ancestral pathways of trauma and healing.
“Ancestral therapy” - love that!
SOOOO happy to have found your work. THANK YOU! So much gratitude. I love Jose Rizal's words you share. I will carry this with me going forward.
My professor had assigned this video for us, 10/10 this was great and informative!!
lol! If only I was paid a professor salary for creating free educational videos :)
Very informative video.I appreciate the history you shared on the English poor law and how the churches very involved in early Social welfare by providing assistance.
I just learned so much so quickly. Woah.
Please do a video on the Reagan era!
That’s very informative !! Watching as I’m commenting!! Well done!!
Thank you for tour videos!!! I really appreciate them.
Phenomenal work, thank you for your time, energy and expertise!
Outstanding scholarly presentation
your video is amazing! please research the troubled teen industry in the united states if you have not already
Fantastic presentation!
Please talk about all the above topics ☺️
Awesome. ✊
Coming from decolonial feminist studies undergrad, my completely non-critical social work classes are killing me. Thank you for this video.
@@leopardface2933 It is incredibly rare. UC Santa Cruz.
Hi I love to hear more about the social work counseling focus on family theory. I love to hear that soon or the book author you using in your readings
Thank you for the suggestion. I am still a student so that is not something I know a lot about but maybe I will learn something interesting to share about it in the future.
This is well done but the background music was distracting me. All in all well done.
Thanks for the feedback! I was very new to making videos back then and I've learned new audio techniques and have slightly better equipment now.
This is great

Solid!
Hi maam 👋 im first year college student BS in social work . sana po ma tulungan moko maam ❤️🙏
Do because early social work included the poor and disadvantaged that's why social work was supposed started in oppression?
She didn't make her point.
Interesting to frame it as oppressive vs what had to happen. Of course, by today's standards it would be seen as oppressive, but every country on the plant was suffering from these woes and luckily these systems were created. Were they perfect? Far from it. But it was a necessary evolution for humankind to shift away from what was the previous status quo. Maybe a poor analogy (as it just popped into my head) but am I glad WW2 happened? Not really, but the outcome has been a global reduction in the rates of war across the globe.
If everything is oppression, nothing is.
