Social Work Today Article - Building a Practice in a Digital World
2011-06-02 23:30:00 Check out the article in Social Work Today - Building a Practice in a Digital World. It highlights how digital media - including blog websites - is being used in social work by clinicians. I was interviewed for it because of my use of blogging for my private child therapy practice, Child Therapy Chicago. I periodically post articles about children, parenting, child development, emotional/mental health, etc. both on my website and here, for ChicagoNow.I have gotten a lot of feedback that blogging about things you know or have expertise in can be very helpful to others and has a greater appeal than something that just provides static information about, say, a service; in my case, a private child therapy practice...

Social Work Library@Boston College Blog
2008-03-25 14:23:00 Click the title to be taken to an example of what I started out to do with my blog...what I had in mind... I would be depressed now, realizing the difference, except for the fact that my site, encompassing six separate blogs, I believe is much more comprehensive. I would just copy and paste the links I found on there and put them into the appropriate blogs here, but I believe Ms Kate Silfen deserves the credit for what she has done, so I will simply suggest that you go check it out. The blog is clean, neat, no-mess, no music, just up-to-date information that social work students at Boston College would need. There is a much similar blog done by A Sutton, the librarian at UIUC. I'm not going to include a link for her work. I wrote her a long email before spring break asking to be included on her list and she couldn't be bothered to even respond. Spiteful, I know.... :)
