The Social Worker in the Library 19:58

for 1 year siden19:58

19:58

For many people who see a social worker, it is because they are already involved in our health or community services system, and they are referred by another professional. This means they have to make contact with our formal service system, and this is something that doesn’t suit everyone. What if it was possible to walk into a public place like a library, and see a social worker? Even if you didn’t live in that local area? Who would fund a program like that? Is there a sufficient level of need for a library social worker? What difference does it make to the community? Erin McKeegan has the answers.

When young people walk through Alex Wilson’s door, they are already carrying the stigma from their long involvement in our mental health system. They know they have been called ‘Frequent Flyers’ or ‘treatment resistant’. Alex’s aim for her work with these young people is that they will feel appreciated, validated and empowered. Alex knows that this work involves risks. But Alex is not cavalier about these risks. Her rigorous approach to risk is where the conversation starts.

ENCORE Leaving Matilda: From Elite Sport to Social Work 20:31

for 2 years siden20:31

20:31

Back in 2021, we talked to Ellen Beaumont about her experiences representing Australia as one of the Young Matildas, and her life afterwards. Back then we had just learned that Australia would be hosting the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup. Now that we know how well the Matildas have played in that tournament, we are bringing you this replay of that conversation as a bonus episode. When Ellen Beaumont was in the Young Matildas, she trained every minute that she wasn’t working, eating or sleeping. She put her education and career on hold, she missed family events and had no social life. All the while she knew that if she’d been a man she would have been well paid and sponsored, whereas Ellen was paid nothing to work this hard and represent her country. But for Ellen this was a life of privilege. So when her sporting career had come to its end, how did Ellen make the transition out of this privilege? How did she end up in social work? And which aspects of her former life help her now as a social worker?

Professor Tom Calma AO is one of Australia’s most respected human rights and social justice campaigners. He is Senior Australian of the Year 2023, and he is a social work graduate. Prof Calma AO is a- Kungarakan Elder and has worked for more than 45 years at local, community, state and international levels championing the rights, responsibilities and welfare of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

For NAIDOC Week in early July 2023, the AASW invited Prof Calma AO to present a Webinar for our members about the approaching Referendum to recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples in the Australian Constitution and to enable them to advise Parliament and the government, through a Voice to Parliament.

Michelle Moriarty has won an award for establishing groups for widowed people in rural Australia to support each other. But Michelle is not going to stop there, because she would like us all to be able to support young people who have been widowed. Reflecting on her own experience, Michelle realised that the reason she didn’t receive the help she needed was not that people didn’t want to help. It was a language problem. Michelle wants us all to be fluent in talking about grief.

When a technology company invited a social worker to join their digital literacy project, it was because they hoped her social work skills would be “nice-to-have” additions to their “need-to-have” skills for teaching people how to use their digital devices. But Anna Morgan had already been contemplating digital inclusion for a long time. Anna brought her social work mindset to the project, called on her community development experience and aimed for social inclusion.

Students for Sensible Drug Policy: Reducing harm by changing policy 24:34

Harm reduction is an approach to drug policy which promotes health, dignity and rights for everyone, regardless of which drugs they happen to be using. Although it is part of Australia’s National Drug Strategy, the principles of Harm Reduction aren’t always obvious to those of us in the service system. Chloe Span and the other members of Students for Sensible Drug Policy are working on changing that. LINKS Students for Sensible Drug Policy https://www.ssdp.org.au Harm Reduction: “Harm reduction is grounded in justice and human rights.

Social workers draw on knowledge, skills and experiences from their professional and personal lives in all sorts of ways, to bring about changes they want to see in their world. While some of us choose to specialise in a particular field of social work practice, others take on roles in leadership, management or governance. Knowing the importance of good plan, Cindy Smith has been able to do all these things; because her plans combine her love of learning, her dedication to excellence and her values.
