  • Wow thats impressive.  Thank you for advocating for our profession.

  • After seeing the movie, 'Precious'...Ms. Wade is correct in her assessment of the social work protrayal. Mariah Carey's 'social worker' was on dimensional, as she says. From my experience in social work (30+ years) Ms. Carey's protrayal was inaccurate...not like the social workers with whom I work every day. Disappointing!
