Our Latest Episode
“Don’t be afraid to have a voice. Advocate for yourself. If you have ideas, get involved. Be as careful as you can be, but just make sure you’re offering that piece of education and really just showing people and guiding them through our social work ways. Eventually, people will hear you and understand.”
– Stephanie Stodolka, LMSW
In this episode, licensed school social workers Stephanie Stodolka and Alyssa Ernest address common misperceptions regarding the field of school social work and give an informed heads-up to social workers in school or in clinical work who are considering education as a career path. Stephanie and Alyssa provide insights about how to navigate and advocate in this setting.
