Hey, welcome to our podcast

Relational Practice: a social work podcast

Show Notes

In this episode, we'll introduce ourselves, share what our podcast is all about, and give you a sneak peek of what you can expect to hear. We're here to talk about social work practice from the ground up. This isn't a podcast where we'll always say the right things, but we'll focus on discussing real social work practice. It's not going to be a watered-down, politically correct version that sets unrealistic expectations for practitioners. We aim to challenge practice in a way that promotes learning and skill-building. Our goal is to help you understand and develop professional judgment and the ability to make sense of practice.
