I am excited as a student to see the various supports on the web for this profession. Part of one of my current classes (Social Welfare) is to advocate for a piece of legislation. I am advocating for Every Child Deserves a Family Act, H.R. 1681. I was just wondering if any of you know how the kids feel about this? I watched the trailer for, "From Place to Place" and wished I could ask those kids, which would you prefer, aging out of the system alone or a chance to live with a family even if their sexual orientation is different? If any of you have a comment, thought, or a story to share I would appreciate it. Thank you for your time and your work.

I agree that Social Workers are often seen as the bad guys in the media, however I think that is the only interaction many of the public have. I mean if one hasn't been involved in a crisis situation, they have never actually had any dealings with Social Workers so as much as they may feel they have a informed opinion, it truly is only as informed as the media. don't mean to ramble on just my 2 cents worth Marie I have had many encounters with Social Workers, mainly with mental health issues.

I definitely recommend adding a chat room to this site. There aren't many places where social workers from all over the world can come together, talk social work issues, and support one another. I for one can definitely use a place where I can talk to similar minded people, especially after a long day when I have to come home to family members who think all I do is "easy work".

I really like the website. One post I'd like to see is a comprehensive list of the t.v./radio shows hosted by Social Workers. I have a weekly call-in psychotherapy show that's been on the air a few months and, as far as I know, I'm the only show like this hosted by a Social Worker. At least, since Marilyn Kagan was on about 15-20 years ago. I've done some research and the only others I've found are some internet-type "blogshows." Is this something that can be put together? I'd also like to talk with you about featuring SWS on the show, maybe have Sue on if she's continuing to work with you. Let me know.
