Queens of Social Work

Author: Queen P, LCSW & Queen H, LCSW Language: English Episodes: 97
Step into the world of Queens of Social Work, where hosts Queen P and Queen H, both licensed clinical social workers, pull back the curtain on a demanding yet deeply human profession. Their conversations are rooted in their unique perspectives as Afro-Caribbean American practitioners, offering a vital and often underrepresented lens on the field. This isn't a dry lecture series; it's a dynamic space where firsthand stories from the front lines take center stage. You'll hear the real, unfiltered realities they navigate, from complex client cases to the systemic challenges within communities. Each episode feels like a candid discussion with seasoned colleagues who aren't afraid to be genuine. They delve into the many specialties within social work, provide practical career guidance for those entering or growing in the field, and tackle essential topics like sustainable stress management. Crucially, they weave cultural awareness and issues of identity throughout their talks, recognizing these as core to effective practice. The result is a podcast that balances the weight of the work with moments of necessary laughter and shared resilience, creating a community for listeners to learn, reflect, and feel less alone in their own journeys, whether they're seasoned professionals, students, or simply curious about the human stories behind social work.
