Susan Reed sUSAN Cardiff-Reed. I graduated from the State University of New York at Stony Brook in 95 and have been working in the field of addictions and mental health as well as child protection. I'd love to hear more from the people in my profession.
Kelly Lowe Can anyone recommend to me any good study materials for the licensure exam for Master's level social workers. I am taking it soon and could use all the help I can get.
Jennifer P I think everyone needs good health care. Right now the low-income aren't getting the care they should....the rich are getting so much better quality care. Its a big problem and needs to be solved quickly.
Anthony I'm displeased that Obama is completely ignoring the single-payer option. He won't even allow it into the discussion. We need to make our voices heard, as the NASW supports this and it is the best option. Our representatives work for us, we need to make them do the right thing.
Grace Bunghanoy-Diama Hi all! I have my LSW and currently studying to take my LCSW test. I'm work in the schools as a contracted provider servicing children with special needs here in Hawaii. Any tips on studying for the LCSW test is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Roselene Dalanhese I am an LCSW and have been in private practice for a month now. I see on average about 20 clients a week love what I am do. It is so much better to make your own schedule and have control of your time. The only thing I miss is the network with other collegues. I have considered opening a clinic with two other therapists but then I would lose a lot of my autonomy. Conversaly, in order to become dv certified, I need to do it as an agency and not only as an individual. I practice in Salt Lake City, UT.

Greg Carley My name is Greg Carley. I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Lubbock, Texas. Been in the biz for over 10 years now working in mental health. Currently working as a counselor for the Veteran's Administration in Lubbock. Am a graduate of the University of Texas at Arlington's School of Social Work class of 1998.
Melissa Brown Good morning, all. I'm a 1998 graduate of Syracuse University's School of Social Work. Have been a psychiatric social worker working primarily with kids and their families in New York and now with all populations in Florida. Namaste.
Linda Pusateri Hi, all social workers out there...I am a returning to practice social worker, LCSW with 15 years of practice herstory. I have experience in adoption studies, work with the mental health population, children, adolescent, and adults. I have worked contractual work over the past few years due to ongoing home responsibilities, personal illness, and family illness...time to go back with both feet and a bit more. Sounds silly, but I am attempting to go into "Private Practice". Know I have given a lot of advice and worked through with many individuals as to their development of autonomy in life. Now I turn to my peers: how do I go about ascertaining private practice as an eventual primary work setting. I would like to research and write theory and practice I have collected over the years. I live in Austin, TX now, am working on ascertaining my license as an alcohol and drug counselor to further expand my areas of treatment. I would like to work as part of a team, but private business?
Haley Stokols Hi everyone! I am an incoming MSW student at USC (2009). Looking forward to the future!

Hello Everyone,
Although I have been a social worker since 1997 I am new to facebook. I was a child welfare specialist after earning my Masters Degree from UW-Wisconsin in 1999 and then went on to become a licensed clinical social worker. In the past year I opened a Holistic Healing Center called the Healing Space on Main. It is the result of many years of planning and dreaming about bringing different healing modalties together in one place. We have acupuncture, aromatherapy, energy healers, massage, yoga, meditation and more.
It's been a great adventure to become a business owner as well as continue my own counseling practice within this context.
I'd love to hear from other practitioners who are interested in holistic wellness.
Kesia Vazquez Hello everyone!! I'm a new BSW student @ Florida International University.. looking forward to enter the advance standing program for my MSW.. and right after I plan to sit for my LCSW exam :)
Angel Purcell Hi everyone! I'm a 2009 MSW graduate from Fordham University and 2008 BSW student from Marist College. I am also an Iraq veteran- not sure how many else of you are as well out there, but ensure that future veterans are aware of the Post 9/11 GI Bill, as well as the "Yellow Ribbon Program", this is providing veterans with the opportunity to attend colleges, private colleges as well at a more affordable rate. Ask me for info, i'll be happy to help!
Valerie Panny NASW is going strong; recognition and competing with other professions such psychocial rehab; PHD psychologists; even school consultants; The field keeps growing and Fordham prepares you to market your skills in healthcare military support etc; Will be going to start preparing for NJ LCSW exam this summer and still have fun in the sun!!
