Student social worker
Hi everyone, it’s great to be a part of this community. I am an older student social worker in my first placement within a government organisation, and I’m loving the learning. I’m from New Zealand and some would describe my small town of Invercargill as being at the bottom of the world. I’m looking forwarded to learning from all you more experienced professionals, as much as I can, as quickly as I can because the number 50 is right round the corner 😆😅

@Peter Nguyen thanks Peter ☺️, it’s great to be here. I really enjoyed reading the first intro module, it was very thought provoking.

Hi Claire, I’m from NZ too 🙌🏼. I’m just starting out on my social work journey as a student, and I’m nearly 50 🥴. But I’ve been working and volunteering in social services for quite a few years. I raised 5 kids and now it’s time to focus on what I would like to do. It’s great to hear about your journey, you sound very experienced in so many areas 🤩
