[humanser] Questions regarding Masters Level Social WorkPracticum

[JD Townsend]

Hello Yiska:

I have supervised master-level student social workers for a very long time, 
two have been blind, the rest have had other issues.  I have also worked 
with chronic mental illness and with children at risk.  Too bad you don’t 
live in Daytona Beach!

Travel is, always, an issue, except for when I lived in New York City and 
public transportation was faster.  I would find it difficult to attempt to 
do home visits relying on a car service;  but that is me and I am never 
comfortable with being dependent.

If I were in your shoes I would seek out community programs for 
psychiatrically disabled folks, such as a drop-in center or sheltered 
workshop program.  In foster care I’d look into such areas as visiting 
centers where children & parents meet while the kids are in care, or in the 
family court system where social workers testify concerning the development 
and progress of family re-unification plans.

Best of luck.
