socialworkerthoughts

Today was a long and trying day.  It seemed all the cases I was involved in my primary objective ended up covering myself.  I don’t know that I did anything really therapeutic for the people, but I certainly did what I could do to minimize my liability and the liability of my employer.  The first case, I made a report to child protective services, not based on any concrete evidence in front of me, just my professional instinct that something wasn’t quite right in the situation.  It was hard because I could have gone either way, but erred on the side of caution.  The other case, was a messy case and I also erred on the side of caution again.  I recommended against discharge anytime over the weekend and that some issues had to be worked out.  No one was happy in either case, but it was the best I could do.  Having a day where it’s nothing but CYA really is a drag!
