For many case workers and service providers – managing technology can be challenging. Good technology can improve data collection, process workflow and reporting. However, finding and implementing the right system is often difficult. At the end of the day, how do you know what features to look for in a great case management application? Are those features “out of the box” or something you’ll need to incorporate based on your requirements?

After reading the recipe I looked up at this public relations legend and said, “Of course - seems obvious when you put it like that”.  Core Values and walking the walk seems to be more attractive to donors than a bunch of advertising.  

Learning to write was traditionally left to the Liberal Arts. Practical considerations have minimized liberal arts education at the university level leaving the training in the 3 Rs to elementary and high school teachers. This major shift in our educational philosophy has left social service workers ill prepared to write at the level required by the profession. FAMCare human services software goes a long way to fill this educational gap.

FAMCare now enables smaller agencies to organize, consolidate, and communicate information just like the best teams in the NFL. Watch your favorite team carefully this Sunday with an eye on how they smoothly execute a play when every position clearly understands their assignment and rapidly communicates their intentions. Every team of case workers, large or small, can execute with the same efficiency as the best in the NFL.

I have a good friend who is a local Hospice worker here in my home town in Georgia.  Recently, she stopped by our local Boy Scout troop meeting to offer up some service projects for the boys.  This particular project involved creating and painting birdhouses for her patients for 2016.  In her presentation she touched briefly on Hospice, what it is and how they help. 

Whorl Inside a Loop portrays one of the most creative and effective approaches developed by social workers. The characters in Whorl Inside a Loop, utilize creative arts therapy as an avenue to self-love, accountability, achievement, and freedom. This is “corrections” at its best.

Every year, 25,000 Christmas time charity bell-ringers remind us that the Salvation Army is still out there doing its work after 150 years. Few people, however, realize the scope of the work that is being done by “men and women whose hearts burst with a passion for the impossible.”

The social worker friends I talked to agreed that we don’t need any more laws. We need to educate society very quickly on the danger signs of “troubled” adolescent men who have not yet been diagnosed with mental illness. Only parents, not politicians, can solve this modern societal problem.
