Social Work Discussion Assignment
I would like you to SELF SELECT a podcast that you will listen to and discuss.
Here are the 3 possible podcasts. They are all from “Social Work Stories” which is a lovely series of interviews with social workers about a case and then a discussion afterwards. The hosts are Australian, and the stories are often international, so it offers a good deal of insight.
You should be able to choose group 1, 2, or 3 based on which podcast you listened to. Please create a response to the podcast: Examples might be…things that concerned you or stood out to you? Questions that emerged? Things that are consistent or inconsistent with class material? Ideas the podcast gave you? Ways that the story affected you emotionally? Then respond to at least 3 of your peers’ discussion entries in a meaningful way.
Choose one:
1. An Antenatal Care Story: Happy Ending? Sad Ending? You decide.
- A social worker supports parents making a difficult decision about antenatal care within the child welfare system.
