What’s your favorite part of being a social worker?
“My favorite part of being a social worker is getting to watch clients achieve goals they might have never thought were possible. Partnering alongside clients and witnessing progress they make is infinitely rewarding.”
What inspired you to get into the field of social work?
“Entering college, I knew I wanted to “help people,” but I had no idea how I actually wanted to do so. What eventually drew me to the field of social work (and has kept me here since) are social work’s values and how much they align with my own personal values. It feels good to do work you agree with. Specifically, social work’s respect for the inherent dignity and worth of individuals keeps me inspired in the work I do. There are too many people in this world who have been treated as if they are not valuable; no matter the area of the field a social worker is in, they can empower individuals and that is something special.”

What’s your favorite part of being a social worker?
“Being able to work in many different fields and settings. After graduating in May 2020, I took a child therapist position at an elementary school. This quickly became very challenging, to say the least, because we were trying to navigate being virtual while also having many feelings about what was going on in the world. In addition to imposter syndrome, I also realized that I was not happy with what I was doing but I knew that I still wanted to work with children. Through a connection, I was able to score a position in the early childhood field as a child development specialist working with children ages 0-3. Here I worked with parents and coached them to help with challenging behavior or setting up routines.”
What do you want people to know about the work you do?
“I’m in the early childhood field but now doing consulting. As a consultant, I travel to childcare centers throughout the county that need support with challenging behavior. I work with the director and teachers and support them with different strategies for the child to ensure that they have a positive experience in childcare. In addition, I collaborate with the child’s caretaker to supply additional resources if needed and to inform them that the strategies that are used in the classroom can also be applied at home. In working collaboratively, we give the child the tools they will need when they enter kindergarten.”

What inspired you to get into the field of social work?
“I’ve always had a natural desire to help others. For a long time, I thought I wanted to be a teacher, but when I started working as a camp counselor after high school, I realized I preferred working 1:1 with the kids who needed extra assistance rather than leading the entire group. Teaching probably wasn’t for me, and I realized that becoming a counsellor would be a better fit. I was also acutely aware of the way society puts some groups at a disadvantage. Ultimately, I decided to pursue social work because of my natural gifts helping people 1:1 and out of a desire to pursue social justice.”

What inspired you to get into the field of social work?

Brianne: “I was inspired by my daughter. I was going through a divorce and I started doing research on helping kids, what to do, what to say. I was so interested that I decided to look into it as a career. Being able to support my daughter while helping other kids was an added bonus.”
Ava: “I was inspired by the lack of services and funds across the board, and I wanted to be part of the change to improve our legislation and policies. ”

What’s your favorite part of being a social worker?
“I am a clinical therapist in solo private practice. My favorite part of being a social worker… it is hard to choose just one! Some of the most satisfying moments in therapy happen when people understand their experiences and realize that THEY MAKE SENSE! That said, I also work with a lot of people who already understand themselves intimately but struggle to use that knowledge in a meaningful way. I really enjoy helping them FEEL and make changes in their life. In either and any case, it is an honor to accompany people on their journey and bear witness to healing as it occurs.”

After doing some research into social work I realized that it wasn’t all the stereotypes I saw in movies and you can do a lot with it.

What inspired you to get into the field of social work?
“My community and my mom inspired me to study social work and social justice work. I am second generation Lao American growing up in a family dealing with the affects of war. Our American experience, like many refugee communities in the United States, was filled with challenges and trauma. From facing discrimination and oppression to fighting for access to basic health care, I was the advocate for my family. I became passionate about equal access to healthcare when my mother fell ill in 2021. It was then that I decided to train as a social worker.”

I think we should not limit our exposure to the field even during the training stages. That’s how I found the Social Work Degrees Instagram page.

Tashara
Tashara, LGSW is a traveling social worker and content creator with an MSW from University of Georgia!
What’s your favorite part of being a social worker?
“I am currently a travel social worker, so I take travel contracts across the country in hospital settings. I’ve worked within so many different social work “niches”, however medical social work is absolutely my favorite. I am a person who loves problem solving, and that’s what medical social work is all about! The healthcare system is complex, to say the least. As a medical social worker you’re in a position to help patients navigate through the complexity and connect them with resources to get their medical and social needs met.”
What do you want people to know about the work you do?
“Social workers are invaluable, yet severely unappreciated. We’re always the first called on in moments of need, but the last considered when it comes to being paid a living wage. Social workers deserve to be paid a living wage, and then some. And social workers, whether you’re new to the field or a veteran, I want you to know your worth. You deserve to work within your profession without having to struggle to make ends meet. Remember your worth! There are many opportunities out there that will give you what you deserve.”
