7 Things I Wish I Knew Before Starting My MSW Program
Join the MSW Facebook group here: groups/1091536908153196
When I was about to start the first year of my Master of Social Work program, I had no idea what to expect. I tried watching other students’ experiences of graduate school on TH-cam or researching blog posts, but my options were limited. So, I decided to put together a list of tips for incoming social work students that will hopefully help you feel prepared for starting your MSW Program.
Tip #1: Connect with your MSW cohort
Tip #2: Establish boundaries
Tip #3: Read Study Materials Effectively
Tip #4: Practice Self-Care
Tip #5: Be Open and Challenge Yourself
Tip #6: Don’t be Afraid to Talk to Professors
Tip #7: Prepare for Practicum Early

    Hi Michelle, I really appreciate this video. I had a few follow up questions. I am in my last year completing my bachelors of psychology. I hope to get my MSW next year. 1) I have a keen interest in sexual trauma, family & couples therapy within a private practice setting. Do you have any recommendations for potential programs that could be of my interest in Ontario? 2) How much does GPA really matter in comparison to volunteer experience? 3) What is beneficial volunteer experience beyond a hotline centre? I find it difficult because I want to integrate myself into a more intimate setting but I do not have the sufficient credentials as of yet. I am not sure where else to look. - I understand lots of people get Research Assistant positions in labs, but I am not really interested in research. Would that be beneficial to take part in? 4) How soon should I be starting my statement of interest? 5) What should I look for when selecting candidates for writing a recommendation letter? I feel as though a professor wouldn't be able to speak on my strengths as much as someone who's worked with me could. 6) Should I also be considering Psychotherapy as an alternative route? Not really sure of the difference.

    Would it be beneficial to talk about the social work person in their environment model? Like making sure my moms medicade applications are up to date. How I've helped people in my life navigate the states welfare programs to make sure they have the help or support they need from social programs instead of talking about helping people with trauma like we would in psych? Any help would be greatly appreciated

    I have analyzed your TH-cam channel. You are uploading many videos. But your channel videos are not getting more views & subscribers. The main reason is that your channel videos SEO score is very low & lacks video rank tags. Increasing the SEO score & placing the video rank tags will grow your channel properly. Can you do that?

    The issue might be the payment you ask for? You’re talking about first generation students, many of them can’t pay for your services. So yeah.. do what you want for a living, but don’t say it’s for the good of anyone. 😅

    • @mswhelper
      @mswhelper 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I actually don't disagree with you! I'm acutely aware of the fact that it's an investment for students to work with me, but my services are very much needed to help even the playing field for applicants with language barriers, learning disabilities, and first generation students. I would LOVE for schools of social work to take on the financial burden for their students and hire me directly so that their students can get support for free!
