Show Notes

With March being Social Work Month, we thought it worth exploring an increasingly urgent issue within social work: the challenges of doing ethical social work practice in a politically divided time like ours. In Texas, this is especially true for social workers who serve LGBTQ+ clients. How do practicing social workers navigate this difficult terrain? Social workers Kurt Olster and Kimberly Goodwin join us to discuss.
