Social work is not typically the first profession you think of when it comes to podcasts. Yet, podcasts are an incredibly rich and valuable resource for educators, students, and the general public. We can harness our relationship-based training to enhance social media networking and have a powerful impact on those around us. Today we join the Hip Hop Social Worker, Christopher Scott, MSW to talk about this relationship between social work and podcasting, leveraging his platform for education and empowerment, and offering advice for someone who wants to pick up a microphone and record.

The concept of “social innovation” has been the catalyst of change in nearly every aspect of daily life for more than a decade. It has been driven by the belief that if innovation can fix significant market-driven technological problems, then it can fix significant social problems as well. Today we join Heather Hiscox, MPH, CEO & Founder of Pause for Change, to discuss how we move beyond the status quo in program design, centering race in conversations and strategies for DEI, and how we offer more effective strategies for solving complex problems.

Mentally healthy children have a positive quality of life and can function well at home, in school, and in their communities. Factoring in risk for parental detainment or deportation, children are more likely to report depressive symptoms, negative mood, physical symptoms and negative self-esteem. Today we join Basiliso Moreno, former school social worker, to discuss some of the challenges children experience when family members are deported, effects on their health and wellbeing, and managing extreme stress and anxiety.

The positive connections between diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the workplace and business results have been documented for years. But examining the business benefits of diverse representation without considering equity and inclusion provides a limited picture of DEI’s true potential. Creating a fair and inclusive work environment where workers of all backgrounds can contribute and succeed is vital—even more so now that diversity is the reality of many workplaces. Today we join Dr. Herman Pryor, Self-Equity Coach at HIP Enterprise to discuss characteristics of effective DEI leadership, creating metrics for success and articulating the ROI of DEI.

Black Americans have been disproportionately affected by HIV/AIDS since the epidemic’s beginning, and that disparity has deepened over time. Racism, discrimination, HIV stigma, and homophobia affect the overall health and well-being of African American gay and bisexual men. Today we join Dr. Darnell Motley, Sexual Health Researcher at the University of Chicago to discuss the history of HIV/AIDS and how it shows up in Black communities, the obstacles to accessing quality care, and some of the overlap between COVID–19 and HIV as it relates to response and inequity.

Have you noticed performative allyship? Where someone makes a bare minimum display of their support for marginalized communities in an effort to show they are on their side? And once a tweet or two has been shared, it’s back to business as usual. This form of empty advocacy is unproductive and disregards the need for sacrifice and work by privileged individuals. Today we join Déjà D. Rollins as she describes how performative allyship stifles progress and attempts to create real change.

Exposure to abuse, neglect, discrimination, violence, and other adverse experiences increases a person’s lifelong potential for serious health problems and engaging in high risk behaviors. As providers grow more aware of trauma’s impact, they are realizing the value of trauma-informed approaches to care. Today we join Dr. Fanike Kiara Young to discuss the key ingredients necessary for establishing a trauma-informed culture, the impacts of trauma on maternal health inequities, and coping with trauma triggers.
