Real Talk with the SaltySocialworker

Welcome to Social Work Real Talk — where we cut through the academic fluff and get real about life in the helping field.

Whether you’re a first-year Social Work student, a new addictions worker, someone looking to become a social service worker or a burnt-out grad wondering what the hell you signed up for, you’re in the right place.

I’m an instructor who’s taught 100s of students and worked frontline in the chaos. This channel is where I share everything they don’t put in the textbooks:

• 💬 How to survive your first placement

• 🧠 What to say in a client meeting (without panicking)

• 📋 Tips, tools, and templates you’ll actually use

• ⚠️ The unfiltered truth about burnout, boundaries, and staying human

• ☕ And yeah… we spill a little tea now and then

From placements to practice, we’re keeping it honest, helpful, and grounded.
