Episode 104 Guardian of the Golden Gate: Interview with Kevin Briggs

http://socialworkpodcast.blogspot.com

One thing I learned from the podcast was that it is so easy to reflect your personal life from your professional life. Also, how important it is to connect with a person and make them feel comfortable. For example making them feel that we are both the same. I would definitely recommend this podcast. Not just this podcast but all of them because they all provide different experiences from different people.

In Social Work Podcast
Episode 203 - Dr. Linda Plitt Donaldson, Dr. Kristie Holmes, and Dr. Charles E. Lewis, Jr.: Wanted: Social Workers on Capitol Hill
http://www.insocialwork.org/episode.asp?ep=203

This podcast was extremely interesting to me; I came into social work with the desire to help people.  Once in the program I've learned enough about macro-level social work to peek my interest, and this panel really helped solidify my understanding of the importance of the voice of the social worker on the policy level.  The limitations as well  the increases in available resources are put in place by the policy-makers.  I definitely would recommend everyone listen to this panel discussion.

I learned the idea of mixing  young women ( ages 14-18) prisoners with adult prisoners contained some benefits. Researcher Sophie Goldingay found that adult women prisoners were able to provide discipline and guidance to young women prisoners. Also, they served as a source of structure and were able to teach the younger women how to behave appropriately in certain situations compared to the prison guards. I would recommend this podcast for future researchers to test if these same possible benefits can be shown if the study sample were men. In addition, the podcast highlighted the importance of incorporating a tenet of CRT ( Voices of Color) into policy making decisions to help enlighten our Westernized minds and views when making policies and correcting our criminal justice system

Foster Families with Alyson Rees
Interview by Patricia Fronek
http://www.podsocs.com/podcast/foster-families/
I would definitely recommend this podcast to anyone who is working with foster children and foster parents. I learned from the research discussed in this podcast how helpful explicit rules (e.g. dinner table rules) can be for foster youth to integrate into their foster families. Also, a major finding of the research was the significance of food and how young people really valued eating together with their foster families. Going forward, this is something that I can relate to foster parents who I work with and encourage them to include their foster children in the preparation of food, which can promote communication and a sense of belonging. Another important finding of the research was the how important birth children are in helping foster children integrate into the family and should therefore be supported and given more resources.

Music, positive youth development, and homelessness: Interview with Brian Kelly, Ph.D.
http://socialworkpodcast.blogspot.com/2014/09/brian-kelly.html
Youth that are vulnerable to homelessness and risky behaviors are from the LGBTQ community and come from homes with family conflict such as physical, emotional, or sexual abuse. Brian Kelly states that although agencies provide shelter and basic needs, there is a need for long-term programs producing long-term effectiveness provided by agencies to encourage youth to get off the streets and develop into effective citizens in society. The speaker states that to encourage the positive development of homeless youth is through a harm reduction model. The model strongly encourages youth to participate in recreational activities such as music. Music serves as a barrier to risky behaviors and become a source of strength and resilience for vulnerable youths. Providing a music studio housed within an agency creates a community of belonging and an opportunity for youth to develop music skills and educate others in skills of recording, composing, lyric writing, and instrument play. Kelly states that this innovative approach provides a development of music appreciation for different genres and the experiences of different homeless youth. I would recommend this podcast for my peers as Kelly provided an innovative approach when tackling the issue of homelessness amongst vulnerable youth. Toward the end of the podcast, a snippet of music from the agency's music studio was enjoyable to listen to and provided insight into the experiences of homeless youth. As future Social Workers it is beneficial to understand the importance of a Strength-based Perspective with our clients and the value of creative and innovative approaches to social issues.

Title: A #ZeroSuicide World: Interview with David W. Covington, LPC, MBA

From listening to this podcast I learned that professionals within the healthcare field can alter their professional lens and understand how suicide can be preventable; although I agree with the podcasts I do realize that the healthcare field is a business and if they changed their approach to suicide it would cost more money, with training all staff. I would recommend all to listen to this podcast because it allows for a better understanding of the topic of suicide and how we can change our understanding and approach on how to interact with clients who are facing this challenge.

Title: Talking About Sex with Rosalyn Dischiavo

Episode number: PodSocs #73

http://www.podsocs.com/podcast/talking-about-sex/

Person interviewed: Rosalyn Dischiavo

Subject: Health

I really like how throughout the pod cast Rosalyn highlighted  that people are ashamed to talk about sex and need to be trained to not be ashamed to talk about sex. I think this is important because sex is a topic that should be discuss and not discussing it only leaves room for negative assumption and stereotypes to exist. I also like the Sexual reassessment classes she discussed which allows people to see what they are comfortable with and not comfortable with discussing or doing when it comes to sex.

I believe that a relationship is communication and that it is important to know what a person is and is not comfortable with when it comes to sex. There is no such thing as "normal" when it comes to sexual behavior. I believe sexuality is unique to the individual and it develops over a life time. Lastly, I liked the sex history tool she discussed and not being afraid to use this tool to talk to your spouse or children about sex. Rosalyn also mention talking about sex with children at a young age. I also agree with this, I believe the longer you take to have the "sex talk" with your children the harder and more uncomfortable the conversation becomes. If you start discussing sex at a young age (the appropriate age ), children will become more comfortable, open and knowledge about sex.

I defiantly recommend this podcast it is educational and interesting; it forces you to look at sex and the conversation of sex differently, in a more positive light.

From this podcast I learned the differences between goals and objectives in developing a treatment plan with my clients. I also learned that my goals have to be measurable. I chose this topic because in my field placement, I struggle in creating an effective and realistic treatment plan with my clients. This podcast really broke things down for me. I feel that going forward, I will feel more confident in I would recommend this podcast to anyone else who is struggling with their treatment plans.

Podsocs Episode #65: Hospital Social Work In conversation with Shelley Craig and Barbara Muskat
http://www.podsocs.com/podcast/hospital-social-work/

In this interview with Shelley Craig and Barbara Muskat, they discussed hospital social work and the role of the social worker. I learned about how the value of a hospital social worker is invaluable. The social workers will find themselves having to play different roles in the hospital setting including providing education and resources to families, mediating issues within the family, and being a go between between staff and the patients and their families. Social workers are the ones who often have to clean up the messes and put the pieces back together. They often do the work that other people don't really want to do.
I would highly recommend this podcast to anyone who wants a better understanding of hospital social work, and those, like myself, who are interested in going into hospital social work as a profession.

http://socialworkpodcast.blogspot.com/2015/11/Bodenheimer.html

This podcast interviews Dana Bodenhemier where she discusses the make up of a clinical social worker. Throughout this podcast she discussed points that she made in her book Real World Clinical Social Work: Finding your voice and finding your way, where she discusses some ways in which one can become a good/ ideal clinical social worker. In this podcast I learned about the importance of supervision and the difference between having supervision while being a student versus having supervision when working. The points that Bodenheimer  makes will help me improve the way in which i utilize supervision during my field placement.

From Orphan hood to Trafficked http://www.podsocs.com/podcast/from-orphanhood-to-trafficked/
I originally thought that this podcast was about orphanage's in the United States but it was actually about orphanage's in developing nations. This podcast shed's light on how difficult it is to prosecute orphanages with charges like child trafficking. Orphanages have become profit making institutions that create "paper orphans" in order to receive funding that more often than not comes from western world. Internationally  "Paper orphans" are not considered  victims of child trafficking, that is why Ms. Van Doore had to tie it to forced labor/child labor and slavery in order to have a better opportunity at successfully prosecuting those who have been trafficked by orphanages in developing nations.  Like in this podcast if there is nothing in that is already set in place to help us a Social Workers we must be the ones to create change to better the outcomes of our clients.

Guardian of the Golden Gate: Interview with Kevin Briggs

http://socialworkpodcast.blogspot.com/2016/06/briggs.html

This podcast emphasizes the intervention skill in the field of crisis response. It is interesting to me when it relates the job of the highway patrol as a guardian who attempts to prevent suicidal ideation from young adults with mental illness planning to jump off the Golden Gate bridge. I can see what the highway patrol trying to do to reduce suicide attempt at the bridge is similar to the job of a social worker. In the interview, Kevin Briggs highlights the importance of the intervention skills based on the principle of Allies in order to approach those folks in crisis such as how to approach them, how to connect with them, building rapport, and empowering them. Kevin also discuses that listening skill is very important and the 80/20 principle should be practiced in the intervention session in which clients talk 80% of time while counselors, social workers or other helping professors talk 20% of time. Listening to this podcast helps me learn more about how to help people in crisis especially when they have suicidal ideation. I recommend this podcast to peers who are interested in working in the field of mental health.

http://socialworkpodcast.blogspot.com/2012/12/social-workers-in-court-interview-with.html
-Usually when we think of clinicians or social workers practitioners, we think of them as helping their clients through therapy, counseling, and providing support. On the other hand there is the Forensic Social Worker, who just has a legal obligation to the justice system.  This means that the Forensic Social Worker cannot actually help the clients like the way the former type of social worker can.  Forensic Social Worker is supposed to act as a witness to help the court, to help the judge and the jury. Forensic Social Workers are basically representatives of the court used in child welfare or juvenile or criminal justice system type of cases.
-Also say if as a regular social worker while helping a client is subpoenaed to court or if sued for malpractice by a client, then writing reports and assessments in a detailed manner can be used as strong evidence that helps you win the case and sometimes having good evidence might persuade the attorney of the opposing party to settle outside the court instead of going through the entire case.
-I would definitely recommend this article since it gives a vast information on how social workers are used in courts and the legal systems with definitions on direct examination and cross, expert and regular witness, confidentiality, and privilege, etc... and there are some more books that we can check out from Allan Barsky that was interviewed that talks about everything to do with social work and the legal system, mentioned in this podcast
-I hope to work someday in the court and legal system through my Social Work degree since I have take Administration of Justice classes and I have a passion for the Legal and Criminal Justice System.

Grassroots organisations with Joel Izlar

Interview by:
Patricia Fronek
http://www.podsocs.com/podcast/grassroots-organisations/
I would definitely recommend this to anybody interested in becoming an Activist or interested in Activism (From The Ground Up). One thing I learned is that Joel Izlar is involved with a Grassroots movement in the United States. The organization is called "Food not Bombs". The idea behind the movement is to take discarded foods from markets, food in which are still okay to eat (Expiration dates in Markets are built for taste) but are rather wasted than taken advantage of. They have a philosophy of cooking vegetarian meals for whoever is hungry or in need. It is a way of diverting food that is going to waste to promote Social Good (Franchise Activism).

Children and the internet
with Corrine May-Chahal
Interview by Patricia Fronex
http://www.podsocs.com/podcast/children-and-the-internet/

This podcast discusses how technology continues to evolve and is the primary source of how children communicate with each other these days.  Corrine May-Chahal, who is the Co-Chair of The College of Social Work in England, talks about how children can be vulnerable on the internet. I thought this podcast would go more into detail of specific impacts the internet can have on children. Instead, she brings up that there should be apps developed that focus on security and helping our children feel safe. Overall the podcast was very interesting to listen to and I would definitely recommend for others to listen to it.

Critiques of the DSM-5: Interview with Jeffrey Lacasse, Ph.D.

socialworkpodcast Episode 101
http://socialworkpodcast.blogspot.com/2016/01/DSM5critique.html
Something that I found very interesting was what they called "the power of Diagnosing to build community" they gave the example of Aspergers and how it created a community and helped them relate and communicate with each other. With that being said I would recommend this podcast to my peer because of the information that analyze the DSM 5 which is important since it is what most of us will be using to diagnosis our clients at our internships. It is important to know what the study shows how it is not an improvement because it was done more of just for more money for the makers of the DSM and how it affect Social Workers more than psychologists and psychiatrist since we use the DSM more compared to those professions.

Anne Foy. PodSocs episode 25, Issues in aging for LGBT and intersex people. Interviewee: Mark Hughes.  Subject: Issues in age care for LGBT considering the lifespan development perspective. The podcast taught me to consider how organizations I am involved with can respectfully and without judgment provide an inclusive experience to the older (80-90 year old) LGBT population.  I highly recommend the topic and I am inspired to learn more about the needs in age care of our LGBTQ population.  I will look at other books written by Mr. Hughes.

Disruption Beyond Adoption
Interview with Julie Selwyn
http://www.podsocs.com/podcast/disruption-beyond-adoption/.
This podcast was about problems that can develop once children have been placed in foster care or adoption in the UK.  One thing I learned is that there is a high rate of child to parent violence with kids placed into these homes, and the foster/adoptive parents will be more likely to continue parenting the child if they are made not to feel responsible or to blame for the negative actions of the child.  Although the podcast pertained to adoptions in the UK, I felt there was a lot of useable information for social workers in the US, primarily the importance of continued support for the adoptive/foster parents, and I would definitely recommend listening to the podcast.

What I learned through Lisa's interview is to express my beliefs on factors in life instead of telling teen girls "no" and "don't". Teen girls need someone they feel they can talk to and telling them what they should/shouldn't do is not the best approach. I definitely recommend this topic for anyone who is interested in learning how to better communicate with their teen daughter.
