" I think I want to die" Training practitioners to work with people considering suicide.
Interview with: Dr. Rebecca Mirick http://www.insocialwork.org/episode.asp?ep=188
This podcast was about helping clinicians get extended training on the topic of suicide. Dr. Mirick mentions in the interview that most of the participants which were social workers, medical workers, psychologists,  and mental health counselors, had limited training on the topic of suicide. She explained how she developed a suicide prevention program and she goes to different agencies and provides the training to mental health workers. She also mentioned that she provides a pretest, posttest, and follow up test to test the effectiveness of the program and she found that most of the practitioners retained the information. I would recommend this podcast to others because she spreads light on a situation that is rarely discussed and often avoided by practitioners. I think it would be beneficial to take this type of training because this is a real situation and as social workers we have to be able to help individuals from all walks of life.

Interview with: DJ Williams
Suzette Mitchell
http://www.podsocs.com/podcast/alternative-identities-vampires/
One of the things that I learned from the interview was about the intimacy of "feedings" between vampires and their donors. I would strongly recommend this topic because vampires are part of a growing culture that is often misunderstood by society in general. However, as social workers we may find ourselves working with clients that identify as vampires. As such, we owe it to them to be culturally competent in our service delivery

"The Grand Challenges of Social Work," interview with Dr. Richard P. Barth
http://socialworkpodcast.blogspot.com/2016/03/grand-challenges.html
In the interview, Dr. Barth urges social workers to tackle society's challenges from a macro perspective. Dr. Barth identified the grand challenges of social as the following: healthy development of all youth, close the health gap, stop family violence, advance long and productive lives, eradicate social isolation, end homelessness, create social response to a changing environment, harness technology for social good, promote smart decarceration, reduce extreme economic inequality, build financial capability for all, and achieve equal opportunity & justice. Dr. Barth believes that the grand challenges of social work would best be met by a unifying project composed of policy makers, researchers, and practitioners from different educational backgrounds.

Episode 76 with Sue Bond-Taylor
http://www.podsocs.com/podcast/troubled-or-disadvantaged-families/

Patricia Fronek interviewed Criminologist Lecturer Sue Bond-Taylor. I learned that there is a difference between a disadvantaged family and a troubled family. I didn't know there was a difference prior to listening to the podcast. A troubled family is on that is difficult to deal with socially they may be a problem with being law abiding citizens, they may cause trouble in their neighborhoods and be looked upon as outcasts that no one wants to deal with. A disadvantaged family may just be in need of services due to their circumstances. Podcast was interesting how they went into the homes and gained the families trust and empowered them. Something they were not used to. I would definitely recommend this podcast to others.

Alyson discussed the dynamics between foster families and foster care as well as being a social worker. She interviewed about ten children about their experience and the foster cares as well as the birth child in the mix of the foster families. She also had the children do eco maps so that we could better understand the background of them She talks about how important the rules are and how important to articulate the rules so that it is helpful to young people so that the young people are know what is acceptable and what is not. What she saw in the homes is that young people really valved friends and eating with one another, how food was a huge significance for them. This was an opportunity for the young people could help in the preparation of food and sensing a sense of belonging.  she found that  it is also important how the cares care for the foster children tell them about they carry themselves, etc. she also said we have to really think about it as social workers when working with these families, we really need raining and be consciousness of what goes on and what can go on.

Grassroots Organisations with Joel Izlar
http://www.podsocs.com/podcast/grassroots-organisations/
The interviewer Patricia Fronek, asks Joel Izlar, a PhD student from the University of Georgia, to talk about the concept of grassroots organizations. Izlar discussed that along the way grassroots organizing has lost some meaning, but not its sustenance. Izlar explains at its core it means an effort that is use towards a deficit. It is organizing from the grown up. What I didn't know which I want to learn more about,  is that in order for an organization to start, all the members have to agree on the issue being an issue that is important to the community to address, which he said is a very difficult process.

Jessica Bonczar describes that through a Multisystemic approach (MST), therapist work together with the family members to get their own perspective of the behavior that the adolescent presents. MST also focuses on the different systems that the adolescent is involved in and how that affects the individual. The goal to changing the difficult behavior is done by taking both family perspective and looking at the systems. I would recommend this podcast to anyone who works or is currently working with adolescence  to understand the different reasons of why individuals at this age tend to present difficult behaviors.

Perinatal Loss: Interview with Sarah Kye Price, Ph.D.
http://socialworkpodcast.blogspot.com/2013/04/perinatal-loss-interview-with-sarah-kye.html
Dr. Price discusses perinatal loss and how such a loss can often be dismissed in society, it's important for clinicians to make room for discussion around reproductive and pregnancy history in our biopsychosocial assessments. When we ignore this in assessments, we are contributing to the silence around perinatal loss. I would recommend this podcast to all practicing clinicians to be informed about the topic and it's role in people's lives, but also for individuals who have experienced perinatal loss themselves.
