Tumblr parents, teachers, guardians, social workers I have a questions or two.

Do Social Workers come to meetings between families that have not seen each other in awhile?

An example: a guardian takes in children and their family members can’t/wont see them for about a year or two. They then want to see the children. Would the state have a Social Worker at that meeting or no?

I also would like some suggestions for some rules for the meeting for everyone, especially the adults to follow.

Thank you in advance!

Edit: I talked to a friend and they said it really depends on the circumstances and the court’s ruling.

They also pointed out that since it’s Talia and Ra’s, those two wouldn’t follow the court’s rules but since it is AU with the children all being Talia’s, I don’t think that matters in the long run.

I’d still like other opinions and answers though. Thanks!

none of the social workers or housing workers or any orgs i have been "working with" (i.e. begging for help and being gaslit about my own disability by) for over a year have done literally anything to help me. they all just eventually stopped emailing and calling me back, every one of them, just like every single other time. not even anything from my family doctor who knows i'm at risk of homelessness. fucking disgusting.

I certainly didn't expect Paris Hilton of all people to advocate for foster kids. This is certainly a welcomed surprised though.

I highly recommend listening to the other non-celebrity speakers as well.

Unmarried women were forced into giving up their babies and bullied and belittled. Maternal benefits, food stamps and birth certificates were taken from unmarried mothers, and social workers lied to single mothers, saying that babies were 'on trial' with foster families, when they had been permanently placed. Mothers were declared unfit or confused and their babies taken away.

Pat King was a 15-year-old schoolgirl in Whitchurch, Shropshire, when the head teacher at her school told her parents that she believed the girl was hiding her pregnancy. Only three weeks later, Pat gave birth to a boy, and after two weeks of caring for him, she was ordered to hand him over to a social worker. 'My dad was there, quite firmly making sure I didn't make too much fuss. It's one of those things you never forget, just like it was yesterday.'

Not Joe related but wanted to post about social work month. As a social worker, this month means a lot to me. As life gets busier in work, I’m glad to find some peace in the world in my daily life 🤍

WHY AM I ONLY INTERESTED IN ACADEMIC FIELDS THAT HAVE NO JOBS

Quit the job

the purpose of a system is what it does, not what it consistently fails to do. so the purpose of a housing worker is to psychologically torture you until you decide that it's less painful to do literally anything other than ask the government for help

Who Can Refer to Home Health Services?

When a patient requires support at home, physical therapy may be necessary to help them regain mobility, strength, and independence. Often, referrals for home health services come from medical professionals like Primary Care Physicians (PCPs), who evaluate the patient’s need for continued care outside of a hospital or skilled nursing facility (SNF). These referrals ensure that patients receive the specialized support they need in the comfort of their homes.

March is social workers month. So let me tell you about my experience with social workers.

They came, unannounced to the day home my severely mentally disabled brother went to, trying to take him away from our family while our dad had THROAT CANCER. My mom fought this, and got them out of his care pretty quickly after that. rightfully.

All they've ever done is tormented our family.
