Mind your Society's video: How the Virus may Impact the Social Work Community

I thought it would be important to make a video about the current public health crisis, and how it may affect the 'day to day' life of a Social Worker, as well as the way we interact with our clients. Every field will be affected a bit differently, so I wanted to focus on the field of social work and social services. I do not give medical advice in this video, and will leave that to the medical professionals! I don't want this video to lead to more worry and panic, but I think it's an important topic to discuss, yet stay level headed about. I have been tuning into Dr. Jen Caudle's videos to get a medical professional's perspective on the virus. Check out one of her videos here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRQI3ZPhCwU Also, in this video I touch on how to support the youth that we may work with during these times. Here is a resource from the CDC's website that talks more about this: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/schools-childcare/talking-with-children.html Link to the World Health Organization's page about the virus: https://www.who.int/health-topics/coronavirus Link to the NASW website, discussing the role of a Social Worker during the outbreak: https://www.socialworkers.org/Practice/Infectious-Diseases/Coronavirus An interesting Ted Talk regarding the virus, from the perspective of a Global health expert: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fqw-9yMV0sI &t=427s Follow my Instagram:MindYourSociety My website: https://www.mindyoursociety.com Subscribe to my newsletter for freebies: https://www.mindyoursociety.com/contact
