This episode of Tea with the Social Workers stirs the pot on the not-so-sweet stigma social workers face. Paris and Rita dive into why social workers are often scapegoated, from media portrayals to individual cases. They'll also chat about the tragic case of Peter Connelly and how it fueled the flames of negativity. But fear not, they'll also brew up some advice for parents, social workers, and anyone who wants to see a change in the narrative.
So, grab your mug, tune in, and get ready to challenge what you think you know about social workers!
