I accidentally made a 76 page therapy workbook and now I can’t figure out how to make it shorter

Made an APS report on an individual with intellectual disability who has MAGGOTS IN HER LEGS AND LIVES IN A SPECIALIZED RESIDENTIAL FACILITY and was refusing wound care because she “doesn’t have to.”
Because my direct supervisor is always like
"Make sure you're focused on the goals"
"You can make that contact to a family member as long as it's related to the goals"
"Make sure that after you do your education on Autism you stay focused on the goals. "
"How are you meeting the goals?"
STOP. JUST STOP. We are NOT Working with lab animals we are working with PEOPLE.
There is this guy at work who my boss absolutely LOVES and he can basically do whatever he wants. He is a mediocre case manager and does his job fine but is really nothing to phone home about. She could kiss his feet. It’s infuriating because if a female case manager pulled the shit he does she would be written up instantly. He’s like so average but because he’s a dude in social work he’s “so brave”

Homelessness is such a shitty problem because a lot of homeless shelters will just kick you out for like whatever. "Oh he drank alcohol when he was here and that is against the rules". Bitch that's probably a contributing factor as to why he's homeless in the first place
I saw some of your #gradschool posts - how are your masters classes disregarding the code of ethics so completely in their teaching? Shouldn't all the material be actively linked to the code whenever possible? Also I'm really sorry to hear about the troubles you've had with the organisation your (placement?) is at, it must be emotionally exhausting on top of everything else gradschool is throwing at you <3
Hello! It really does baffle me when things occur that go so intensely against the code of ethics. I would say that the courses truly are designed to be actively connected to the code at all times, but in execution I’ve had professors make some pretty awful missteps in that area. I also get the sense that many of my peers have perhaps read the code (it has been required reading in multiple courses by now), but maybe not integrated it into their worldview/perspective. It has been emotionally exhausting, and I so appreciate you reaching out. <3 It’s always helpful to to be reminded that there are folks out there doing this work (gonna go out on a limb and assume that’s why you reached out lol, but if not, that’s cool too bc #gradschoolsolidarity or just #solidarity in general <3) with an actual understanding of the code of ethics, checking privilege, managing counter transference, etc.
While I have had some pretty negative experiences at my field placement, I want to make it clear that they have primarily been organizational and staff problems. It’s been helpful for me to remind myself that I’m there for the clients, and my approach is always client-centered - even if that isn’t the case for my colleagues. I use this blog to get out a lot of my frustration, but I realized I could be scaring off potential social workers and I do not want to do that! This field is incredible when done the right way, but does require some resolve. Burn out is very real in community mental health, especially when dealing with addiction recovery and carceral systems, but it’s our responsibility as people working in this field to remove ourselves from the situation when we have compassion fatigue and can’t empathize the same anymore. Not everyone I’m working with has a social work background, and many of them have been working for this organization for over a decade - and have gone through many, many transitions as a result of that. I’m learning really valuable lessons about community mental health, the kinds of organizations I’m willing to work for, and maybe what’s not exactly best practices in this field lol. I’ve been trying to reframe so I can leave this year with as much knowledge as I can, even if it’s been a rough one.
WOW sorry if that was a huge response to your ask, and I’d love to chat further if you are in this field or interested in it. <3 But regardless, thanks for reaching out. Grad school is hard but I know it’s gonna be so worth it!
Grad school is a fucking trip. My life is a huge balancing act between school, work and my personal life. And the end result is me trying to pretend I did the readings, writing papers about readings I never did, anxiety about said papers and also eating twix bars for breakfast.
