My biggest takeaway from the meeting: Kiayis’ Week Four Takeaways’: 1.
Advice for advanced interns in social work who may have dealt with a hostile, disrespectful, impolite, and insulting field instructor who is a certified clinical social worker and whom you are shadowing. Several topics were thoroughly discussed during the week four seminar. One topic that stood out to me was how an advanced social work intern should confront an aggressive licensed clinical social worker field instructor whom you are shadowing who is rude, unprofessional, and insulting.
Dealing with an irritating social worker can be difficult, but it's important to remember that you have rights and deserve to be treated with respect. The conversation taught me to stay calm and composed at all times. When engaging with another social worker, it is important to remain calm and composed, even if they are being difficult. I realized that taking deep breaths and maintaining a neutral tone helps.
It's also important to be courteous yet firm. Assert yourself and make it clear to the social worker that you need to be treated with dignity. Say something around the idea of, "I understand that we may have differences, but I expect to be treated respectfully during our exchanges."
2.
Recognizing the distinction between advanced social work intern hours and employment hours. Handling role overload and exhaustion as an advanced social work intern in addition. I recognized that clinical social work interns should be able to tell the difference between internship and job placement. Work placements should not be confused with
internships as graduate students. These two types of experiences are not the same. Internships have to do networking and obtaining mentorships. I've recognized that my internship demands me to spend time refining abilities that will be useful later in my career. I will learn how to successfully express advise to others, communicate their plans, conduct research, and interact with peers.
Also, I realized that clinical social workers may experience inferior job satisfaction due
to "role overload," that leads to mental fatigue and burnout for social workers as a result of the stress caused by heavy caseloads. High caseloads have a negative impact on social workers' overall job satisfaction and general well-being. "Compassion fatigue" is another group of symptoms that affects us as social workers who may be in a caring job. When a social worker is exposed to other people's persistent suffering, it creates a caseload that includes depression, hopelessness, and low self-esteem.
Questions I have for the next meeting: Meditrek: 1.
