Why are state boards so bad?!

What state has a fast and efficient licensing board? Why does everything take so long? They bleed us dry with fees and then they say you’ll hear back in 30 BUSINESS DAYS. You can barely call and talk to anyone and when you do they just repeat what’s on their poorly constructed website.

What worked and what didn’t during COVID-19?

I’m a social work intern tasked with creating a trauma-informed pandemic plan for a private mental health practice serving children and young adults.

I’d love to hear from social workers who worked during the pandemic!

What policies or practices made you feel safer working with clients?
What did your workplace do well, and what could have been better?
How did your agency support staff’s mental health and well-being?
What do you wish your workplace had done differently?
What should every agency or private practice include in a pandemic preparedness plan?

I’d really appreciate any experiences or lessons learned. Thank you!
