Social Work

[close] Escaping from our lives one book at a time.

[close] A group specifically for social workers who want to share and discuss books they love or wrote themselves. Any type of book is welcome, whatever feeds your soul, inspires, instructs, or helps you relax and escape. This is also a group to start discussions about social work, advocacy, and social justice. Recommend books that capture these dynamics. Talk about the books that need to be written. Above all, this is a group to support readers and authors, enriching our practice, connecting us to the reasons why we became social workers!

[close] So, Sienna St. James, the star of my novels Losing Hope, Without Faith, and the upcoming Sacrifices of Joy, is a social worker who keeps finding mysteries on her caseload. She also wrestles with her own personal flaws and family drama. As a social worker myself, I try to touch on real issues in my novels with the hope of providing encouragement and inspiration amid the page-turning action. With this discussion group, I want to talk about some of the issues that Sienna addresses - both with her clients and with her own personal concerns. I also want to keep the door open for comments about the series overall, questions you may have for me as the author, and conversation that ties it all together. Let's talk.

[close] "For the Love of Therapy" is a book club for therapists (licensed and non-licensed but working toward licensure, novice and expert) to read therapy-related books and meet approximately once monthly (possibly via Zoom...stay tuned) for discussion.
