“Hearing from Practice: Real Talk”, a brand-new monthly series where frontline social workers share honest insights into their roles, challenges, and the moments that make it all worthwhile. As a social worker, regardless of your field, you’re likely to encounter individuals connected to the justice system: whether as parents, family members, or partners of the people you support.
