Side note: I once had a parent throw an angry fit in my office when I delivered my schpiel about being a mandated reporter. Swore, yelled, threw papers down, marched out. My old supervisor told me I should’ve stopped him + de-escalated to make my bonus productivity for the month

So it has NOT been my experience the people managing “helping professionals” prioritize their physical safety. We are cheap and easily replaceable.

I am about to start my training in social work, and I am curious if you have any tips for someone new to the field if the people supervising me will not respect or advocate for me.

Oohhhhh gosh.....in general I think you should kind of expect supervisors to not be focused on having your back, safety-wise. So don’t go in assuming what is presented to you as “normal” is safe for you.

Like, be willing and able to quit placements and jobs. Have the ppl at other agencies you keep in touch with and have yr money right so you can always jump ship and so you’re able to say no. You will def be presented w/ unsafe working conditions that you’ll need to refuse.

I feel like a good “helping professions” job comes through leaving a lot of bad jobs.
