Day in the life of a Social Worker 

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 ❤

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. 💗

Future social worker here , thanks for your channel

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 🤗

Im not even trying to become a social worker but I found your video theraupetic lol....seems like such a fufilling career

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. :)

Thank you for sharing this!! As a social work major, this give me hope and motivation to keep on following this road. I also hope that it brings more awareness and insight to this field. Social work is very broad, and it doesn’t always involved taking children away from their families like how the media and movies portrayed social workers.

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!

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 RU-vidland. 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!!

omg i am a junior rn and I want to be a social worker so bad

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!

I'm in school for social work right now. Thank you for everything you do.

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.

Loved the DITL video- I hope to see more like these! 💕💕

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 RU-vid success and all the best going forward!

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’m soooo happy I found your channel. I loved this video! ❤️

I am an MSW student aspiring to be a school social worker (starting this fall) and I love your videos! Thank you so much for this channel 😊

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

Yes, I would love more videos like this!

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!

Your videos are so unbelievably helpful! Thank you so much for deciding to blog for other social workers! Have a great day :)

I just found your channel I dont know what took me so long I’m so excited to be here!!!

Spot on! I use to be a social worker in a high school. Now I work as a women’s social worker in a hospital. Stress is inevitable but I love the work we do!

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!!

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?

Hi this video was really helpful. I want to go into school social work so seeing your experience would help

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!!

Really enjoyed watching this video! Thank you for posting it.

Thank you for sharing! I would love to see more of what you do, as I am applying to a social work program.

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

Future high school social worker, pursuing MSW at UIC! Thank you so much!!

Thanks for sharing ! Enjoyed seeing how your career is and you seem so enthusiastic and positive!

I love your channel so inspiring and informative!! Please keep posting. I would love to see more.

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!!

Great job on the video, very informative!

I am in nursing school but really starting to hate it 😓

I am a high schooler and I am looking to become a social worker u been a big help for me thank u

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.

Omg i cant wait my mom going to be a social worker after she graduates yayyy!

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 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 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.

This is awesome thanks 🥰

Just got a job as a family worker (social worker without the title) at a preschool. So nervous and excited!

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!!

Great video!

this is definitely something i WANT to do but i doubt and hold myself too much

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 .....

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.

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 🥺💗

Thank you for these videos, I am a new subscriber. :)

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 !

Awesome

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?"

Future social worker here.

You are like the cutest little thing I've ever seen awe.

awesome

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!

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! ♥️

This is what I want to do as a career

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 /

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?

It's all about talking the talk .

I am watching from Nepal, I am also a social work student.

School social worker ? Wow. good

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?

Nice Visit, Very well done

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).

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 would LOVE to be a social worker, but besides home visits and such I dont really enjoy being at a desk all day. I am currently in my first year of college and I was thinking of going into the medical field but i've slowly realized it is something I could be good at, but it's not my passion.

I am a future social worker.I am from Brazil.

She said", I will swipe in my desk..lol..

How do you like your job? What made you want to be a social worker? Im thinking of applying to either an LMFT or MSW program for gradschool.

I am planing to opt the course of social service worker in canada

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? ♥️

What state do you live in? And what is your position called specifically? I am definitely interested in what you do. Is a school counselor and school social worker different because to my understanding, a school counselor focuses more on testing? i know things vary alot from state to state.

Your nails are beautiful

I Think this is the Right job for me,

how long did you go to school for this? i’m a senior and i’m struggling with future plans

so much work

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!!!!!

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!

Literally superwomen!:)

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!

Do a school social work so counseling as well?? School psychology is the same? Or somewhat ?

For the incentives does that come out of your pocket or do you have a set amount the school gives you to pay for incentives for students

I start scholl in the fall semester,I was wondering if and how one might be affected by criminal record.

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.
