  • Thankful for this Podcast

    This is such a great podcast for social workers! I’ve started from episode one to current episode as I am new to this podcast, but so far it has provided me so much information new and old to refresh on. I am so thankful to have found this podcast as I am new to clinical social worker and trying to take off some rust as I work towards my licensure. Thank you Jonathan Singer for all the information you provide and speak on. Looking forward for more episodes!
