Relational Practice: a social work podcast

Show Notes

In this podcast, we'll talk about professionalism not from a social work education position, but from the perspective of how a client might see you, or how you might see yourself. We'll challenge you to consider how a client might know you are professional. What might this mean to them? For workers, we'll discuss what professionalism means for you. How do you know that your practice is professional? Tune in, and let's explore these questions together. Don't forget to subscribe and share your thoughts with us!
