The Social Worker in the Library 19:58

2 years yang lalu19:58

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

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?

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.

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.

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.

Kim is the other half of the productive partnership between a hospital and university researching inequity in healthcare, and Kim agrees about how powerful these partnerships are in overturning inequality.

Rosalie Pockett AM never intended to stay in hospital social work. At first its scope was too narrow, but once she ‘widened the lens’ she was using to look at it, she saw how to achieve the two things she was most interested in doing: overturning the inequities in people’s access to healthcare; and building partnerships between social workers and researchers. These are what she describes as the two strands of her career interest. The way she weaves the strands together has led to her receiving an Order of Australia. This is the first of two episodes discussing these topics.

Even after decades as a family therapist, his advice to other practitioners is: ‘Don’t fall in love with your theory’. It is part of his hatred of fundamentalism.

She has been the light on the wharf, while their family was being tossed around in the stormy seas that follow a sudden terminal diagnosis and death. It’s a time a time when only everything changes; and it was one of these families who nominated Julie for her award. This episode comes with a Content Warning!

Alliances and recognition: Pamela Cohen AM on being influential 20:18

For Pamela Cohen, it wasn’t enough that the cardiac patients in the hospital where she worked received the best care. Pamela wanted that level of care to be available to every cardiac patient, throughout Australia and overseas. She received good advice on what she needed to do to influence this field of medical practice, and she followed it. In fact, good advice from influential women is what led Pamela to a career in social work in the first place. And that story connects her to the most tumultuous events in our political history.

What kind of world do we want? The UN’s Sustainable Development Goals describe one vision of a world which respects rights, shares prosperity and protects the planet: a world in which no-one has been left behind. Every member state of the UN has endorsed that vision. That vision is also endorsed by the International Federation of Social Workers, who have made it their theme for World Social Work Day 2022. To celebrate WSWD 2022, the AASW conducted a webinar for its members. It discussed the SDG’s and the theme of “ Leaving no-one behind ”; and what both of these mean for us in Australia. This is an edited recording of that webinar, so you will hear references to slides and written questions submitted by the audience. (At the time of the webinar we were anticipating that a Federal Election will be called soon in Australia). The webinar started with an introduction of our guest, Linda Ford.

The Rights of the Child and the 7C’s of Reform 21:25

Since Dr Robyn Miller started working with isolated, vulnerable families 40 years ago, she has seen enormous changes in the way that children’s needs are understood and responded to. When the Victorian child protection system was overhauled to enshrine the rights of the child as its guiding principle, Robyn became its inaugural Principal Practitioner. In that role she translated the rights of the child into child protection practice. Robyn is still advancing the rights of young people in the child protection system, but now it is in her role as the CEO of a large Community Sector Organisation. LINKS Are We Caring for Everyone?

#HomeToBilo: Speaking a language that politicians can’t speak 26:46

Since March 2018, Bronwyn Dendle and Angela Fredericks have been campaigning for the Murugappan family to be released from detention and returned to their home in Biloela. The story of the family is complicated. It spans continents, decades, and multiple changes in Australia’s immigration laws. The facts of this story can become lost, hidden behind divisive, politically motivated expression of opinions. Before listening to this episode, you can refresh your understanding of the facts here . In June 2021, 4 year old Tharnicaa required urgent medical treatment for a disease that had been untreated in detention, creating publicity round the world about her family’s treatment, and the #HomeToBilo campaign to end their enforced detention. The campaign has been described by one newspaper as having changed Australia’s national conversation on refugees. Bronwyn and Angela are both AASW members and in this episode we discuss how they have focussed the world’s attention on Australia’s treatment of people seeking asylum.

Imelda, Michael and his Fairweather Friends 23:22

Imelda Dodds was in her first job as a social worker when she came across Michael who needed to be protected from his ‘fair-weather friends’. At that time the only way to protect Michael was to place limitations on him, rather than the people who were attempting to exploit him. Now this is a challenge that has run through political and social reform from the earliest days of welfare state, and that resonates today. That is: in attempting to protect vulnerable people from harm, policies and programs control them, instead of controlling the people who can do them harm. Imelda has been working through many of the world’s most intractable problems since then, and this challenge is one of them. Along the way she has observed instances when protecting vulnerable people means controlling the professionals who are meant to be helping them.

Holding onto the core throughout a lifetime of change 22:05

For Margarita Frederico, AM the core of social work is its drive for social justice and its respect for human rights; and its richness comes from the way it is constantly evolving. Social work has taken her from seminars with Anna Freud, to anti-Vietnam war protests; from The Royal Children’s Hospital to Myanmar; from childhood trauma to environmental rights. Through a lifetime of change she has held onto the values, the rigour and the knowledge at the core of social work.

One good brick in the edifice of life 19:37

When Norma Tracey AM started working in Sydney’s Children’s Hospital, the children were tied to their beds and their parents were allowed to visit for an hour in the evening. Norma was already drawing on the psychotherapeutic insights of John Bowlby and attempting to make changes to the way that the children were cared for. So she was excited and honoured to be given the opportunity to meet him and to discuss her plans to reform the whole hospital. The discussion did not go as Norma had planned. Instead of encouraging her, he told her that the most that anyone could hope to achieve was to add one good brick into the edifice of life. That was more than 50 years ago, and Norma has been applying her understanding of attachment theory ever since. She is currently the CEO of “Strong Mothers”, an organisation supporting marginalized women and their children. Now that she has been recognized with an Order of Australia, we can ask whether Bowlby was right, or did he underestimate her?

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?

The theme for National Reconciliation Week 2021 is ’More than a word, Reconciliation takes action’ . It recognises that many of us are aware of the issues, but that is not enough. For Reconciliation, we need to take brave and impactful action. To help us understand what that action might be, today we bring you a conversation with Ms Pat Turner AM. Her long and distinguished career in public and community service includes the renegotiation of the Closing the Gap initiative which resulted in the National Agreement on Closing the Gap. For Pat, understanding the difference between the two is the key to understanding the brave and impactful action that Reconciliation requires.
