Everything a Child Welfare case manager has to do 

Good luck 👍🏾

Unfortunately I am not that familiar with ICWA. I know the basic knowledge of it but not enough to do a video on it. I think I only had one case where the status was applicable.

Dependency court (child welfare) is different from family court (divorce). I’m not familiar with family court. Dependency involves an open case investigation of child abuse or neglect. Please let me know if I’m misunderstanding your question.

Ok. I have an issue. For two year now he has refused to respond to Child welfare. They have been calling him but he has refused to oblige. I don't know what measures can be put in place to make him start paying his child welfare. It's the same thing refusing to sign the divorce papers.

Do you mean how to stay organized for all the different tasks or something more specific to the case?

a video on how to stay organized would be helpful. @@righteousroses

Sure thing!

Also thank you for your videos! My go-to social work RU-vidr

There is payoff to the job but it’s not day to day. For me it’s when I move a case forward (I.e. a mom is granted overnight visitation with her children after working from supervised to unsupervised visits) or I was able to get one of my children into camp after working hard to set it up. I don’t know about every agency but the hours are flexible. If I worked 9 am to 8 pm on Monday then Friday I might be able to get off early if an emergency didn’t happen.

Yes I can. I have the content written down.. just have to record it

The video is going to be out on Tuesday! Sorry it took so long. Let me know if you have any questions after watching it.

Hey 👋🏾 and sending you some motivation to keep going!

Ma’am, I have a question. I’m currently have an open case. I am absolutely trying my best to cooperate the case worker at one point I feel I’m pleasing her. She would make an appointment and change it later, all the visits need to meet her schedule. It’s quite impossible to keep a job because as soon as she make the appointment, I have to have that day available for her. I constantly feel I’m being threatened by her, “ your child will be removed if you don’t comply. If you send screenshots instead of PDF, you are not complying”. Is that normal?

I believe most cities have a 211 number that you can reach about local resources. Hopefully this applies to your area and is helpful.

Yes you can! Human services, social work, behavioral health, criminal justice, psychology are all degrees that could qualify for a case management position.

What is the process of a teacher wants to make a career change?

Is there further explanation because this is a confusing statement?

@@righteousroses they allowed to violate the constitution by law enforcement and courts.

We all sacrifice certain liberties for something, in this case it’s child safety. Do you have experience with the system? Maybe you could email me and we can discuss more if you feel you haven’t received the best experience.

40 is definitely up there and unmanageable. Please take care of yourself.

Thank you for the feedback.

Congratulations! Hopefully you enjoy the field, but you’ll learn a lot either way.

PLEASE make sure to take a day off soon.. the holidays don’t count towards this request lol!

Well that’s reassuring lol

There are circumstances where social workers working as counselors can be sued but that’s why people carry separate insurance for this if their agency doesn’t cover it. I’m not familiar with case managers being sued.

Thank you for the feedback. The playback speed at 0.75 doesn’t sound too bad if you wanted to change it, but I’ll keep your point in mind for future videos.
