Social Work Blues!

Yesterday Tuesday 25th June was hard especially in my Social Work job I struggledI felt overwhelmedI was resilient despite this. I supported ColleaguesI emailed I persisted in designing groups and supporting Colleagues and delegating tasks in terms of group work. I left work at 7pmI got some pitta bread for evening meal. My husband had cooked earlier. I got home at 8pm.On way home I did a Facebook Live about forgiving. In evening although tired, I scheduled some emails for the Masterclass, I want to deliver.I retired to bed at 1030am. Throughout the day I kept thinking that consistency, commitment and collaboration are key to building business. Even when I don’t feel like it I need to show up, day in day out because when someone is hurting it is about alleviating that pain and being there for them.

Having qualified as a Social Worker in July 1991 from Coventry University, it has been over two decades that I have been on the front line working with children and young people who are traumatized and on the margins of society. Although I studied Psycho-dynamic counselling for two years at Goldsmiths College (1991-1993), I decided to integrate Psycho-dynamic theories and skills into my Social work practice and flirt with and immerse myself in studying Islam as well as interfaith dialogue and friendships. For the last 20 years, I have been working in a multi-disciplinary Youth Offending Team in South London, comprised of Professional colleagues from different faiths and cultural backgrounds trying to support young people in the criminal justice system. I am married and mother to three sons, and juggle Social Work and interfaith dialogue with my writing, studying and the needs of home and family.
