Social Work

[close] This group is for daughters and son of parents with mental illness to share and discuss books related to families in which a parent, or other family member, has a mental illness.

[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] This is a group for anyone in the social work field! Students and current social workers are welcome! Please use this group to share your favorite books that pertain to social science OR books that you like to read that help you relax after a long day at work.

[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!
