Social workers as super-heroes | Anna Scheyett | TEDxColumbiaSC 

If she was Muslim like my mom she can't feel that stress bcs she's waiting reward from Allah so she is happy all the time

She maybe forgot to let you know how rewarding her job was and that the stress and fatigue was after a day well spent helping people.

That is fantastic! Your mother must be very proud.

@@moal6803 Look for a university with a social work program. If you get an undergraduate degree in social work, you can usually earn hour graduate degree (MSW) in one year. It’s a great deal! Good luck!

@@moal6803 My life was ruined by some intern with 2 years of "Social Justice". Oh the REAL Child Protection threw her bs out. But she has impunity and I am ruined. Two degrees from MIT and a Master's in STEM ruined by some hack with not a degree. When I phoned "Wayside Family" of Framingham MA they call the police on me! The inspector had sense and said I did nothing wrong. Yet no way to help me.

how did you get into school social work? i really want to become a school social worker as well.

@@ZZ-uo7ht Hey there! look at different schools that have a social work program, some even have specific classes to become a school social worker certificate where you take a couple education classes as well. Normally in undergrad, you take 2 years of classes and some social work classes as well then as a junior, you apply to the program and take most social work classes for junior and senior year. Senior year you will have a year-long internship in the population you want, in your case school social work. If you get your master's after that it will only be a year since you already have the foundation from undergrad. If you just want a master's program, It will be two years and you will have an internship as well.

@@moal6803 Look into Victim Advocacy agencies. Most work with different degrees as well as social work. If you want a degree in social work, look at different social work schools. Normally in undergrad, you take 2 years of classes and some social work classes as well then as a junior, you apply to the program and take most social work classes for junior and senior year. Senior year you will have a year-long internship in the population you want, in your case Domestic abuse/violence. If you get your master's after that it will only be a year since you already have the foundation from undergrad. If you just want a master's program, It will be two years and you will have an internship as well.

ENJOY THROWING YOUR LIFE AWAY YET? 🙄

@@rorycalhoun6484 why??

same!

@@rorycalhoun6484 that is mean man 😆.

@@rorycalhoun6484 What do you feel you get from making that assessment?

Can I have her contact, please? Thank you

Good for you. Social work has many aspects. If you are doing what you are trained to do wonderful. However in some states people rename therapy as "Coaching" and do immense damage. My experience with government Social Workers was good. The one really bad one was working for a private place. I have to add that Social workers have a lot of power. Immunity makes it unchecked, Power must never go without responsibility.

@@thaovu9803 Confidentiality，the first thing to know

You can do it! Keep that super hero power alive?! Many are waiting and have already been led to you! You got it!

@Laz Arus great profession mate, in Australia its a really good profession where you work in hospitals, schools, and even have your own private practice. Its takes 6 years man of education to become a therapist in social work. Its the oldest therpeautic practice.

I would rather be placed in a den of rattlesnakes, than have the care of a social worker, thank you very much. My well being is my own responsibility and even should it not become so, the last thing I would ever want is a social worker anywhere near me, they are toxic. -

I'm sorry you have such a negative view of social workers. May your future experiences with social workers be more pleasant :)

@@Sliepnir2006 Please. everyone and there mom have seen a social worker. In hospitals the literally refer you to see a social worker.

@@Sliepnir2006 maybe you wouldnt accept help from a social worker but some families are in desperate need of one. many people have lived in poverty, wars, seen crimes and experienced extreme trauma. think again

Agreed!

really setting the sites HIGH in life, aren't ya? 🙄

Hi, I’m a social work student. You won’t regret you decision, I promise. Don’t listen to the negativity ❤️

@@valeriaquesada7010 🙄 when the first hobo coughs on you or tries to bite you with some horrific disease, you'll change your attitude. soon you'll have a drinking/drug problem if you dont already, and be cursing your career choice. Like all the others. 😈😈😈

rory calhoun why are you so obsessed with this anyway? Wishing stuff like that to someone just because of their career choice is not normal, go check yourself

@@valeriaquesada7010 In a few years out of school. you'll reflect on this conversation, and wish you heeded by advice. ah... the naivety of youth.....

Hello Jones. Im Navneet. Can u pls guide me whether social workers can ever get to work in corporate sectors in USA or no ? Looking forward to hearing from you. Regards

my friends dont ynderstand my profession either! but we know why we chose social work! i wish you best of luck!

i feel you..

Hu Maggie It is a field with low barriers to entry. Also, your typically not as well compensated as individuals whom have put in equal amounts of education. If you want the field as a profession, then pursue it.

Not all social workers work in Child Protective Services. And you can easily be compensated well if you go through the Masters program so she’s really not throwing her life away. Coming from a fellow social work major, keep going!!

@@kiara-6816 No and they are worse. The private ones are much worse than CPS. And why immunity! So they commit crime and get away with it. One day immunity will be gone reteroactively. Then you'll see the criminal charges coming like a flood.

Dylan Duff i stady social work too

I'm a psychiatric social worker from India

Well, how did you do? :)

I passed !!

@@sarahwoodward4094 That's amazing! I'll be there one day as well😋

Thanks for your honesty. It is not for everyone, just like every profession cannot suit everyone❤

Thanks for your honesty! I agree with you to a certain extent. Yes, when it comes to self identity, it is IS NOT Defined by helping people, BUT KNOWING your self identity and self worth is what makes you a HERO Social Worker. Knowing and thinking are two different things. Some who have visited the field of social work prematurely have had to revisit at a later time & some simply come to the knowledge that it is just not for them. Everyone has a “task”, “purpose “ and sometimes it takes a while to figure out what that is like the situation you faced and realizing social work was not where your heart and destiny lie but we figure it out! I knew but didn’t know that this is my destined field and am so thankful I am on that path now to social work and advocacy! Blessings to you and your destiny. 😊

@@tracyallison5998 thanks for your response

thank you xx

Thank you for providing some recognition that we rarely get!

i want to work social Want to help the poor Can I get your help in this work my WhatsApp num 03113322923

Yeah keep padding yourselves on the back. The way people think of social workers is rather different.

@Beauty killer Deal with it the cowards hide behind immunity. What a bunch of fake heroes who are too scared to be willing to face the same law the rest of us do

How'd you go?

Hope you went well, and you will go on to create some amazing change in the world.

@@bendigobands hello thank youu! I did great so far. I just finish my 1st year though I lost my scholarship but I learned a lot with this course. :)

@@marssichrysalxsm8945 Onward and upward! Keep learning, and keep challenging yourself. All the best to you.

@@bendigobands Thank you so much!! I will. :)

How long have you been studying for? If you dont mind me asking

@@rodriguez7198 6 semester.

keep it up!! you're doing great. God bless you with peace and joy

Congrats! I'm starting my second semester in my MSW program

I agree with you, because I think is more difficult dealing with people than with machines, that's why we must respect social workers.

Really, I suppose you see "serving" needy people means that you leave a trail of emotional destruction behind you. I guess tearing apart lives must have some entertainment value? Can't see what it could be, but maybe, like those who managed to drive a young mother to her death, (Hayley Gascgoine), through the amount of distress and abuse that people like you, (social workers) heaped on her, the more emotional destruction you can inflict the happier you are.

Sliepnir2006 Removing children from dangerous situations is not tearing art lives. If it is a small issue social workers will bring in the parent and help the kids fix it, or if the guardians have toxic actions they'll try to fix it before removing the child. if you think the child needs to stay with abusive parents to avoid the PARENTS getting hurt then you need to fix your priorities

In the UK children and babies are being removed at an alarming rate for "Risk of future emotional harm" the police and social services are causing actual emotional harm to all parties involved at the point of removal. These children are then being adopted without parental consent through reports, which parents are not entitled to bring real evidence to prove otherwise.They are offered solicitors who work for the local authorities and to win a case would lose then lucrative work. Even in cases where the wrongful removal can be proved, it is rarely produced bu legal representatives. All go along with social worker reports, made on silent videos after contact, where anything can be assumed. even specialist reports are largely based on what goes in social worker reports. In reports to the court hours of positive contact is ignored for one or two moments of negativity.

have fun throwing your life away......

@@rorycalhoun6712 what is your obsession with bashing social workers? are you capable of understanding the level of dedication it takes to pursue this field? do you understand the broad spectrum of field placements social workers are a part of? do you have any idea how much you personally have benefitted from the work of social workers without even realizing it? since you've been bashing social workers on this same video for over 4 years seems like you have some personal demons to work out. maybe contact a social worker? oh wait

I hope you found the instruction, to lie readily, falsify evidence and flash your eyes at family court judges useful. Hmm sadly yet another on her way to leave a trail of emotional destruction behind her. The mindless, blood numbing cruelty of social workers and their counterparts Cafcass (UK) knows no bounderies. They are like predatorial vultures. - I pray when I grow old, no social worker ever comes near me, or between my and myself. they are the most horrible, nasty people imaginable.

you must LOVE the fantasy world you live in.....

+Joseph Izaguirre - I would love to hear your thoughts on why you think "everyone needs or will need a social worker" Can you elaborate? It would be refreshing to read your views on what you just declared! Thanks!

+CESSqc I think it's about balance. I agree that social workers (to some extent) lean so much to one socio/political/economic end that is counter to capitalism. I think reading Ayn Rand would be helpful in our curriculums to show the ills of the extremes of socialism. I also see the ills of 10% owning 90% and watching very basic needs not met, which then adversely impacts our capitalistic system. Yes, there are ills on both sides and it is way to easy to render an obtuse statement simplifying the issues.

+CESSqc I failed to answer your question. I offer that life brings different challenges to people along their stages of life. For example, troubles with child development, to how to help elders during their final years. Advocating for one who can't, to advocating macro policies. helping individuals navigate systems to helping communities to develop norms that encompass both empathy, responsibility, and accountability. Doing the "little helper things" that most are unwilling to do but that do serve a purpose... if not at least allow other the time to exercise the freedoms to make more money, spend time with family, or achieve their desires within their means.

Oh no thank you, in fact after what I have witnessed, if any social worker were to come near me, when I am older, the first will wish they were dead, the second will end up wanting to take up their own lives, the third will take their life. After what I have been witness to, I do not want these horrible people anywhere near me. One would be safer in a den of rattlesnakes and it would be more preferable. Yuch. -

May I ask what you have been witness to that makes you feel so strongly against social workers? I assume you'd be willing to share because you're so open to bashing the profession that it's only warranted that you share why. I'd personally like to understand

Yes! I literally teared up when she said bob has friends now lol

@@GoneColoring That's putting the word "acceptance" on a whole new level

It’s fake she wants to make it sound good

Simone irie do social workers make a decent salary

THeavyArmsT T good luck!!

we work for not only for the poor, but for the disabled, the old, the wealthy who are struggling to cope, the man who's got a drug addiction, those who have been physically, mentally or sexually abused. We work for the most vulnerable members of society. We have the most difficult, admirable job in the world in my eyes.

How long do you study

@@hamdieilish I'm a 2nd year srudent

Sweet! We don't need anotha

We don't need another what?

@ Carole Winston ..Hooray for a collective delusional mindset from a failed industry on its last hooray, who actually think you are a positive influence on society! ...Hooray for all the campaigns exposing corruption and crime throughout CPS and social work. ...Hooray for new terminologies like 'psychopsema' created to expose a failed social work system and define how the constant abusive practices against defenseless families are carried out.

+CESSqc There are plenty of hard working individuals whose sole goal in life is to help individuals. Do NOT lump everything, every job, and every one all together because it suits you.

It suits each and every 'social services crimes researcher' just fine, to report and to continue to publish reporting the 'unprecedented' number and type of crime, corruption and abusive practices the social workers industry perpetually practices against individuals and the family unit. Social worker policy and theory of practices are all based on an ideology of eugenics, this is a destructive ideology which a majority of SW's throughout North America are not even aware they are subjected to follow.

That’s called the internet chief.

lol its a 7 min video how can you get pissed hahaha
