Nurses have one of the most in-demand roles in healthcare, and with a 6% projected job growth rate through 2031, the demand for nurses to fill both vacancies and new roles is only increasing. Given the current and future need for nurses, healthcare organizations must focus on recruiting new nurses, but perhaps more importantly — keeping their nursing staff engaged in clinical practice.

I have mentioned many times to be cautious about seeking counseling for a child whose parents are separated and where one puts the child in the middle and says inappropriate things about the other parent. Placing that child in counseling may make matters worse. In that scenario, the child may be subject to more inappropriate coaching to prepare for each session.

A senior adults’ practitioner has lost his bid to stop Social Work England obtaining a family court judgment that found he abused his ex-partner. The High Court ruled last week that it was right for the regulator to see the family court judgment because the need for public safety outweighed the social worker’s right to respect for his privacy.

Earlier this week, I wrote about the connection between music and my mental health. I’ve wanted to write a post like this for a long time, but it was challenging. It’s hard to put into words the impact music has had throughout my mental health journey. In Tuesday’s post, I did a lot of research to show the benefits of music, and how it can help improve people’s mental health.

A key component to being a social worker is serving others during times of crisis. While social workers are often focused on taking care of other people’s needs, it’s critical that self-care is also a priority for social workers! Children, families and communities have access to life-changing opportunities and improved positive outcomes because of the tremendous impact social workers and caring professionals provide.

● “When my kids were growing up, they weren’t afraid of the bogeyman. They were afraid of social services,” a parent with disabilities (one of the groups most vulnerable to family policing), told The Colorado Sun. “People don’t think about how traumatic these investigations are for kids.” The comment is part of an in-depth examination of mandatory child abuse reporting laws in Colorado – which are pretty much like the laws everywhere else.

In the five years since I started this blog, there’s something that I haven’t written much about: music. It’s difficult for me to explain — succinctly, at least — but music plays a huge role in my mental wellness. While I dabbled in singing and playing musical instruments as a kid, I never had much talent in that area. But even so, I love listening to music.

Councils are referring more children from residential to foster care, independent fostering agencies (IFAs) have reported. The trend reflects both the progress made by children in residential placements, as well as cost concerns on councils’ part, agencies told their umbrella body, the Nationwide Association of Fostering Providers (NAFP). But they warned that such moves needed to go at the pace of the child, to help manage their anxieties, and also stressed the need to allay foster carers&

Therapy builds on the client's positive experiences to improve their well being and to ascertain the role of their positive experiences. Clients begin to recognize they have the solutions to their problems; each moment and each situation is a moment of growth and learning.

Millions of people in the U.S. struggle with mental health, but less than half receive the help they need. Mental health problems often result in behaviors like substance misuse, sleep problems, emotional outbursts, weight or appetite changes, and isolation. In some cases, they can also lead to cutting and self-inflicted harm. Self-injury is more common than many people realize, mainly because those who struggle with it tend to hide this behavior.
