Social Work Beginnings
Social Work Beginnings is a student hosted podcast engaging with instructors, agencies and members of the social work community in Canada. As we strive to learn to become effective social workers at the beginning of our careers, we seek to amplify the on-going work to advance social justice in Canada within social work. This podcast was born out of a desire to equitably increase the accessibility of opportunity to learn outside the classroom about our diverse field. https://www.swbeginnings.ca
