I'm currently in grad school for my MSW (@ the University of Michigan... goooo blue LOL), going the clinical route and receiving my school of social work certificate. Therefore, as an aspiring social worker, Thank you so mucccchhh for your channel! Really love your videos! Keep them coming ❤
Awesome SW program in Michigan 💙 thanks for watching, let me know if there’s any way I can help
I'm a social work student in Michigan too! I'm currently finishing my bachelors in SW at Oakland University 😁
Yay Michigan Social Workers! Im graduating with my MSW from Wayne State in May!
Fanta Doumbia hi I just wanted to ask out of curiously how is it like to be a Muslim as a social worker is there racism?
I had a social worker in middle school literally save my life. She saw I was on a bad path, with bad people, and sadly most (if not ALL) of my teachers gave up on me. But she didn’t. When I graduated high school, which most people didn’t think I would make it that far, she was there. And I always told her I wanted to be a social worker so I could help someone the way she helped me.
I took time off to raise my daughter (she is 6), but I am now going back to school to fulfill that promise to not only her- but to myself.
Thank you for doing what you do. You seem like a lovely woman who I’m sure makes a huge difference. 💗
Hi Jamie,
Thank you so much for sharing a piece of your story! Good luck to you on your social work journey...your family and soon to be clients are truly blessed!
I teared up reading your comment . That social worker is a God sent . Congrats on following your God given purpose.
We need more awesome people! Hope you're well :)
Future social worker here , thanks for your channel
👌🏼you’re welcome!!! Thanks for tuning in!
M2!
I’ve applied for a school social work position. I’m currently a child protective services worker. I’m praying I get this school position and your video motivated me 🤗
How is the position as a CPS worker?
Brittany Fair I was one. It was extremely challenging but rewarding at the end of a case plan. You have to be a great communicator and testifying in court unfortunately becomes common.
Im not even trying to become a social worker but I found your video theraupetic lol....seems like such a fufilling career
It truly is!!! Thank you for watching! I find youtube therapeutic as well :))
I am a pre-nursing major, but now I am considering switching to social work. The reason I initially picked nursing is because I love helping people, but I am rethinking it because there is SOOO much math and science required for nursing and it is super competitive. Thanks for the video. :)
This is something I am striving for! I am currently getting my bachelors in Social Work and plan on working as a basic social worker while getting my Masters so I can become a school social worker. This is so awesome! Thanks for giving us a glimpse!
You are so welcome! Good Luck to you in your journey...it is worth it!
Are u getting a job? as Social Worker
So do you need a master's to become a school social worker?
omg i am a junior rn and I want to be a social worker so bad
Hailey Brooke Do it! Not only is the schooling part interesting, but it’s a very interesting job with a wide spectrum of possible jobs! You can work anywhere from a school to a prison. It’s great! I’m very excited :)
YES! Keep going, we need you as a social worker!
me too!!
I'm starting a school social work job next month working in a public school district's early childhood center and I'm so excited! Thank you for your video I love to see how others structure their days and their organization styles. I love that you kept it brief and gave and overview of everything that you did throughout the day at the end!
Hi Lauren! I had my interview for my DREAM JOB today! *I hope it went as well as I think it did!* Thank you for taking time to make these videos. Not only are you helping your students, teachers, and parents every day, but are helping thousands of helpers here in RUclipsland. YOU ARE APPRECIATED! My role will be to oversee 15 schools in a primarily latino/hispanic community. I am so excited for the opportunity I may have to make positive changes where I grew up. If you have any experience working with any student support services that oversee the how schools are implementing mental health care- I would love to hear your experience. Thank you!!
Loving this! How are you doing Kathrine, Im glad my video are helping you and others! I do have some experience in this area...I am hoping to share soon!
@@SocialWorkScrapbook yes you are working directly and your videos working indirectly as a you-:)
I am going to Jacksonville State University for Social Work and I want to work with children and teens. This video helped me understand a little more about school social workers. Thank you.
You are welcome! You are needed! thanks for sharing!
I live in Jacksonville too! I'm going to FSCJ for my human services degree. Good luck 🙏
Hi! Watching from Canada and I am considering a career in youth counselling.
I really admire the balance you have in your work like and family life. Many people I have interviewed in this profession do have burnout and I hope I can find a job that allows me to take care of myself too and is sustainable in the long run.
I am currently in school at Hampton University for sociology hoping to become a social worker as well. I hope later to get my MSW! I really also want my own non-profit for mentoring girls and young women. Can't wait for more videos!!
What a great major you chose 👍🏼 I love you’re goal 👩🏻🏫👧🏻👱🏻♀️💕thanks for watching!!
I'm in school for social work right now. Thank you for everything you do.
I’m soooo happy I found your channel. I loved this video! ❤️
Yay!!! I’m happy you found me as well!!
Your vlogs are very well put together! You are a busy woman, you QUEEN!! Hope you have an amazing week! Looks like you love what you do which is the most important thing! Stay passionate & keep uploading hun!
Love love love the fact that you gave a real perspective on social work! Thank you for this. We just interviewed a social work Professor at Morgan State University Dr John Gallagher on our channel and it intrigued us so we searched ‘social work’ and your video is the first one that came up! Congratulations on your RUclips success and all the best going forward!
that was really excited, seriously. i have a dream to be social worker in US. thank u miss for the great story as a social worker. i am college student Bachelor of Social welfare in Indonesia. really love your video! keep them coming
I am in nursing school but really starting to hate it 😓
I’ve been a social worker for 20+ years no longer a rewarding career. Burnout is real. Good luck to all the new social workers. Learn to take care of yourself!!! Set boundaries!!
Was it good money. What burned you out?
Awesome video! Social workers also work from home .I just posted LCSW/ social work jobs hiring now. My mom is a social worker so of course I think social workers rock!!
Your work ethic is so empowering! The way you carry yourself is so powerful! I'm actually struggling with implementing social work into my current role. I work in finance but my role involves understanding a person's emotions and actually selling emotion. Do you have any tips on asking open ended questions that can help a person open up about what's not going well?
I’m currently an undergrad aiming for this!!! Very interesting so thank you sm!
Loved the DITL video- I hope to see more like these! 💕💕
Future high school social worker, pursuing MSW at UIC! Thank you so much!!
Social Worker from South Africa, OMW I'm so happy to have found this channel 😭
I did my first MSW internship at a school after a long time of hoping to be a school social worker. Although it wasn't the best because my supervisor (the school social worker) was terrible (idk why she's a social worker) this gave me a warm feeling inside. I again pictured myself as a school social worker who had the ease of having the same days off as her future children and just the "ease" of it all. I know it has many challenges but its amazing too. Love your channel! New subbie. I'll be doing videos like this soon lol
Yay! Thanks for tuning in, so happy to social work hitting youtube!
Your day looks so fun. I’m interested in being a social worker but sometimes it’s hard for me to be serious. I’m always smiling and it’s hard for me to have a straight face.
I like your personality as a social worker very Pro and honestly I would love to become a social worker like you😁it sounds very impressive and very life changing too🙏🏻
Thanks Mel! The profession is very fulfilling and humbling ✨
Today was my first day to my dream to become a School Social Worker. I know I have a long way to go but I'm excited I found your channel to help me stay motivated if I ever feel like quitting. New Sub!
Can we get more of these? I enjoyed this so much!
I just found your channel I dont know what took me so long I’m so excited to be here!!!
Thanks for Sharing this gave me a better picture of what a school social worker does. I am on my first semester in Master Social work, and currently confused it I want to go into Clinical Social work or school.
Loved your video! I have to mention that we in Croatia don't have social worker in school sistem and they are not a part of our school crisis team. So sad because I wanted to work in this field knowing that so many children needs our help. Currently I am 3rd year of Social work and hope that our government forms a law that will change that.
I love this. Thank you for sharing. Merry Christmas....
SO EXCITED, IVE JYST BEEN ACCEPTED TO STUDY SOCIAL SCIENCE
Yes, I would love more videos like this!
Oh man, I know you probably do a lot but I've never in my life had a luxury social work job like this lmao. Ideals, yo.
And I've worked in geriatrics, prison, college etc.
Hey, I'm South African and I'm looking into becoming a social worker. I'm really confused because I don't really know what social workers do. This isn't what I envisioned. Can you give me a little more insight into your career?
Omg i cant wait my mom going to be a social worker after she graduates yayyy!
So getting into this career,new subscriber
Your videos are so unbelievably helpful! Thank you so much for deciding to blog for other social workers! Have a great day :)
Thank you! Each kind comment gives me motivation to keep vlogging and sharing! Let me know if you have any questions! Check out my blog so we can stay connected via email too!!!
Thank you for sharing! I would love to see more of what you do, as I am applying to a social work program.
this is definitely something i WANT to do but i doubt and hold myself too much
Thanks for sharing ! Enjoyed seeing how your career is and you seem so enthusiastic and positive!
Omg, we have the same name! Haha ☺️
Future social worker here.

I love this I am currently working as Lvn nurse I have decided not to go future my career as a nurse and switch to getting my Social Worker degree I am very excited to start my classes towards my BSN in Social work next month I love to help people but I am ready to start helping them in a different way .....
Great to hear! Hope all is going well in your journey so far!
Do you have any advice for those that want to be school social workers as well? Is there any specific job requirements that you should meet while in graduate school for an MSW program? Or do they help you prepare for being a school social worker, such as resume boosters? Love your videos !
Thank you for this video!
Great Video. Thank you for posting. Keep up the good work. 👍🏽
I really want to become a social worker but the grades I need I can’t do in college I can only do them in university but with my family’s fanincial things I can’t pay for it but I’m trying to save up also you vids just remind of who I want to be in the future 🥺💗
I’m thinking about being a LCSW instead of an LMFT (currently a psych senior in undergrad). I need to decide before I start applying to grad school and this video helps. Thank you!!
(I’d be working as a LSW for awhile because I have to be a LSW before being a LCSW in my state)
Great job on the video, very informative!
I’m right now studying to be a social worker and am terrified of not knowing where I️ want to work. I want to work in the justice system but also mental health and/or work with children. Any advice?
I am a future social worker.I am from Brazil.
I am watching from Nepal, I am also a social work student.
It's all about talking the talk .
This video was really helpful! Thank you.
I am planning on becoming a lcsw to be either school sw or medical sw. Your life is exactly what I imagined being a school sw would be like except I didn't know they also had home visits.
If you don't mind me asking, what exactly is the difference between school psychologist and school sw?
I know the basic difference (education, licensing requirements etc) but in terms of what they can do for the students and whatnot?
I've talked to one school psychologist and she usually assess students but doesn't necessarily "treat" them. (she'll refer them to other therapists)
Is it the same case with the school sw?
In short, school social workers are the link between home and school. There isnt much assessment or diagnosing. We work to help students that are having issues at school or home by removing barriers. We link families to educational programs, food, clothing, etc. We can also provide counseling and groups.
love this!
This is awesome thanks 🥰
Hi I'm italian social worker. Like for you. How is your work organized? Do you take care of users? I'm in the planning and project office. I subscrived to your Channel I wait for you!!!!!
It seems as though working for the district is a better alternative, when I transitioned from teaching into social work, the company I worked for was under contract with the school district so we werent allowed days off according to the district calendar. While under contract with a case quota (as if you are working in a sales environment) it creates a serious issue when the school that you are assigned to has a heavy concentration of physical, emotional and sexual abuse and the focus in each meeting is "How many cases do you have open?" "When are you closing this case to open a new one?"
Yes! Being employed by the district is a much better alternative, unfortunately many districts opt to contracting student support services
Cane here ,Searching For this Field For I am about to Take this Course next Year ,hopefully with the Help of God !
Thank you for this /
I enjoyed watching this video! I am going back to school to pursue my Masters in Social Work and have always been interested in being a School Social Worker. What advice do you have for someone just starting out in social work as far as school, jobs, internships, and overall advice, how do you practice self care and handle the emotional aspect of this field? This question goes out to anyone with tips! Thank you!
Thank you for these videos, I am a new subscriber. :)
You are very welcome! Thanks for subscribing! Let me know if you have any questions or topics you would like to see on the channel.
Thank you, I will! :)
Great video!
Hello! I just love your channel and content. I was wondering... what does your deep focus playlist consist of?
Thank you for your time and enjoy your weekend! ♥️
Hey! It’s the Spotify playlist titled deep focus, you can find it under Spotify if you hit browse and look for the focus section...👩🏻💻it’s great!
You are like the cutest little thing I've ever seen awe.
so much work
I'll be graduating soon with a Bachelor's in Sociology with a concentration in Social Work. I am seeing (in my area, at least) that most employers require a license and a master's degree. Is it the same for a school social worker? I am a "mature" (older) student and mom to three. The plan is to start looking for a job as soon as I graduate so that I can support my family, but it's looking like I may have trouble finding a job with just a Bachelor's degree. Any advice? I don't want to take another dead-end office job that doesn't align with my career path, but it looks like I may have too (sigh).
Hi! New subbie!
I am a Job Coach that venders services for the Department of Aging and Rehabilitative Services for students and adults with disabilities. I have done this for two years. Is there anyway some of that experience could translate into social work?
I have a case load of 40 individuals right now.
They very in disability and mental illness.
I have always felt that social work is our sister service.
I love my job. I would love to expand it. I am looking to get my QMHP-C ;) Any suggestions would be great ;) Thank You so much!
This is what I want to do as a career
I'm very much interested becoming a school social worker but I don't know the process.
I have five remaining classes and looking for better employment to start my journey. Dou you have any recommendations or advice.
sure! ruclips.net/video/Z3BG1HrZGnE/видео.htmlsi=SxcYJd952-5BqWft
I know this is an old video that I am commenting on, but I am a psychology major currently (Junior in college) and I am really interested in your journey of becoming the School Social Worker that you are. I do not have a focus or a minor and I feel really "behind" in a way because I hear that most have a specific focus and all I have is "psychology" that I study. What do you suggest or what ideas could you give me that would point me in a strong direction of becoming a school social worker? ♥️
Awesome
I am planing to opt the course of social service worker in canada
Any advice on how to Format a good resume for grad school & post grad school?! I’m graduating with my BSW Magna cum lade, phi alpha, and Tau Signa!
Thank you. I’ve been wanting to know more about school social work. I was majoring in interdisciplinary studies before I changed to sw. is it fulfilling to you?
Do a school social work so counseling as well?? School psychology is the same? Or somewhat ?
Hey there I have currently applied for BA social work but right now I’m so much confused about if this career is for me! I think this career is so challenging and I’m scared of some of the responsibilities..I really hope you could help me!! Please.
Hey i just wanted to know what did you study to be a social care worker
You live in San Antonio right? I can't tell by some of places in your video ;D Home sweet home!
Yes, girl! I love it!
I thought I was crazy. I knew that was home! Lol 😝. Love your video this really helped.
I start scholl in the fall semester,I was wondering if and how one might be affected by criminal record.
Depending on the record it may prevent you from working with children. You can still be a social worker and intern at other types of agencies.
School social worker ? Wow. good
Nice Visit, Very well done
Thanks...I will be uploading a home visit video soon! I hope you tune in!
I think that the Social Service in Brazil it's Very different than in your country... Do you guys ( in your country) have a profession code of ethics or a ethical - political project? Sorry for my english, i hope that you understand my point. Thanks for the video ^^
Are there good jobs in this field
bharti kashyap rajput as a social worker myself, the field is so huge today and always expanding and there are so many opportunities! I am a Crisis Counselor and I never knew my current job was ever an option for someone with a social worker degree . This field is expanding :)
She said", I will swipe in my desk..lol..
Hey are you member of Nasw is it reallt useful or wat benefits it wil gives us by joining it. I want honest answer who are part of memeber so it wik be useful
I like your video! Does the school district pay for the gift cards or did you find a company to donate the gift cards you hand out for incentives for students?
The city of san antonio has a grant program called P16 that is currently providing the incentives/ gift cards. However many businesses will provide school incentives like Texas Roadhouse, Subway and Whataburger
Pls make video on your salary
How much does a social worker earns
Hey, I'm interested in mental health and children and I want to become a social worker. Which is a better option to study in undergrad psychology or social work?
Only individuals with a BSW or MSW can call themselves social workers in most states, outside of working for a Department of Social Services. (Which we're currently trying to change to protect our profession)
If you want a short cut Social work...If you want well rounded I'd say psychology 😉 I got my BA in Psych and MSW right after... I have a video on that to that may clear things up ruclips.net/video/Z3BG1HrZGnE/видео.html
YES!!! Same in Texas! What state are you in Evan?
I'm currently a cps investigation intern in the state of North Carolina. Graduating with my BSW in December(:
Have you ever been asked to take on new job responsibilities without a salary/ pay increase (both in per diem and salaried positions)? This has actually happened to me twice so Im curious as to whether or not this has happened to anyone else in this field?
Yes, in all jobs I’ve had... “other duties as assigned “😕
In the first instance I was given job responsibilities with some serious ethical dilemmas attached to it and with those job responsibilities I acquired a new boss, so I then had to answer to two people in the midst of ethical dilemmas whilst not being paid for any job duties assigned. When it comes to reporting abuse or negligence, this scenario is your absolute worst nightmare. Being in a triangular relationship with two bosses can create a slew of issues, some of which I encountered while working there. When the same thing happened in a salaried position you can imagine my suspicion when I had these mentor/mentee meetings and she had no issues, concerns or problems to address. When administration is divided in the delegation of responsibilities or dissemination of pertinent information which would be critical to not only your own safety but to the children that are entrusted to your care, this ends up being an absolute nightmare. I wouldnt recommend it to anyone.
Literally superwomen!:)
What kind of degree do you need?
Hey can you do this with a Bach.?
The district I work for only highers master level social workers. But I believe you can become a school social worker in other districts with a BSW
Currently in my first year of college and was wondering what your major was
I majored in psychology/ minor educational psychology
@@SocialWorkScrapbook I recently graduated with double bachelors in psychology and elementary education. I got accepted in the MSED special education program but I would like to go in therapy and mental health in a deeper way in the future. Is it possible to get a second masters in social work as special education teacher? I live in New York City.
What is the starting salary of a school social worker? I know it's different in every state but I'm trying to get a general idea.
ruclips.net/video/Z3BG1HrZGnE/видео.html watch this video - I will be making another video regarding this topic too 👍🏼
I am planning to migrate to canada. I am from India an Assistant Professor of Social Work. Any suggestions for me that would be very helpful.
