[@mariav.5627]

What is the starting Salary?

[@annie7064]

Maria V. Hi there! It all depends on the agency, degree, and state where you work! My best advice would be to google your specific state and “forensic social worker” or look in job boards for your local area! :)

[@rubyxoxojavier4878]

[@nicolesmith7510]

I am in love with your personality and these videos of your work life! I’m currently in school for human services / social work and sometimes find it hard to keep the motivation.. these videos really help me see that there’s a light at the end of all these research papers! Maybe you can do some videos about the schooling and how you kept organized, studying tips, etc. !! Keep doing what you’re doing Annie, can’t wait to see new videos!

[@annie7064]

I’m so glad to help! I remember my last year of undergrad and basically all of graduate school I found myself losing motivation, so I am really honored to hear that I am giving some back! Thank you so much for your kind words. I will certainly try those videos!

[@bookworm1616]

Thanks for making a video like this. I’m a grad students currently and am just trying to figure out where I️ want to work. Forensic social work is something I’d love to get into.

[@LoveMe2Today]

Yay! Awesome video. I am currently studying for the licensure exam. I graduated with my MSW

[@LifeCoachYvette]

The autonomy in social work is amazing!

[@robertanderson3198]

I am interested in becoming a social worker and I am currently pursuing my associates in social work at a community college so I thought that your video was really cool. Please do more videos if you haven't already done so because they are really helpful and incredibly enlightening. I really liked your video!

[@simply_socialwork]

I’m new! I love your social work videos 🦄

[@emilybartchy4569]

I loved this!

[@hannahtaylor854]

Cool job! Thanks for the video!

[@kaellum4260]

I am on a think tank for forensics mental health as a catalyst group formulating a new recovery model for forensic population. #TheRecoveryProject I foresee more agency in the future. If the current system is a reinforcement learning style setting goals and targets for reintegration from experts, review boards, courts etc then I see inverse reinforcement learning (IRL) one from patients or 'clients' learning to set goals and personal holistic 'values' themselves and each other with lived experience as part of a new recovery model framework. I hope to see more social workers and in particular more 'patients or clients' posting the same to help support those reintegrating into society. The culture of safety is melding with the culture of risk and will be dynamic and more inclusive with direct input from the people who come out. Good luck with everything. #PhilosophyOfTimeTravel has more or my personal thoughts on this and other areas. Best regards.

[@oliviawilliams9646]

super helpful... was stuck on what career I want to do and I was leaning towards social work! subscribed to you i love your videos (:

[@sparkles835]

Hi! I am in the process of finding a program to apply to for my MSW. But I heard you say you were studying for your licensure exam. So does that mean you currently (or currently during the time of this video) have you AMFT? Or which type of licensure are you studying for? Thanks!

[@stephenrennie9675]

Tell me how I can get into this exciting field. I am currently pursuing my MSW in social work and didn't know what areas were available besides case work but I would like to know more about forensic social work. I am not sure if they have that field here in Canada

[@thomasnugent3836]

Very informative 👏

[@omesexyme]

I have a master's degree in psychology. I've worked as a Psychology Associate still on the roster we also did forensic Psychology. Same thing. My favorite was the evaluations at the correctional facility. Now I'm a case manager. My day is about the same.

[@biancaespertini7887]

Miss.T.Thomas Hi, I’m a Psychology undergrad student planning on going to graduate school. Is it difficult finding a job with a master’s degree ?

[@tyronpouncey5985]

I’m pursuing my lcsw. I graduated from radford university in 2019 with my msw

[@nenkaapple9918]

You’re awesome! Did you have to major in Forensics as well or minor in it ?

[@lyssmartin3607]

Do you have to get your masters or can you just get your bachelors?

[@Jay89915]

Do you get paid hourly or a salary? Thank you!

[@AnnaBea]

I'm interning within the prison system right now as a social worker!! Cool to see it from the other side -- reintegration services are SO important. Recidivism is way too high.

[@marshallbjohnson]

Remember to focus on criminogenic needs

[@coreinspirations6839]

[@IronicAtBest]

Thank you for this video! I am going to be working in forensics so this helped alleviate some anxiety :)

[@blakelynashley]

Do you think an RN would be qualified to do this? If not, what would he/she have to do to have a job like this? Also, do you know any nurses that went back to school to get their MSW?

[@colettesanchez4298]

I’m thinking of doing this¡,,,

[@blakelynashley]

@@colettesanchez4298 let me know how it works out!!

[@jessicaknotts1560]

Butttt I want lean more towards extreme mental health? Anything will help thanks girl you randomly came on to my google page happy you video found me

[@angieschmit1956]

Can you explain kind of where you work or what sector employs you? Ex government building etc? Are you ever afraid for your safety working with people who are leaving jail with mental illness?

[@JMacBeauty]

Great Video! I am working on my last year of my BSW degree in Social Work. I have been debating on what area I would like my focus to be on. Could you do a video on some of your college courses you took that helped you prepare for working in the mental health spectrum of Social work?

[@annie7064]

Absolutely!

[@JMacBeauty]

@@annie7064 Great! Cant wait on the uploads :)

[@MyTorresm]

I also used sw to sw and passed my lcsw exam. Good luck!

[@BellaEve]

I'm interested in Forensic SW. Was mental health your concentration? I really need help because I'm going into a MSW program soon. Thanks

[@annie7064]

I plan to upload a video answering all questions! :)

[@alexwilliams1281]

I’m going into my MSW grad program but I don’t know which population I want to work with but I love true crime and I always think like why doesn’t our system have a better mental health foundation. So maybe forensic social work is for me.

[@carol6445]

Did you get a MSW or Masters in Clinical Social Work?

[@mirandafabre8964]

Aspiring forensic social worker here! Do you have any book recommendations that would help with developing skills for this field?

[@emma-rp5ye]

also wondering this same thing

[@reneecarter5083]

That’s a great question. I’d love to know what books to read too.

[@kaishakekana4950]

I'm interested in doing Forensic Social worker. That's will be huge opportunity for me.

[@tanajastancil245]

Hey Annie. Are you considered a government worker? 🤔

[@jesspaige8012]

I loved this video! I'm very interested in forensic social work. I'm a year into my BSW, do you have any tips (or could u make a video on tips) for getting into forensic social work and what a beginner needs to know?? Thanks!!

[@annie7064]

Awesome idea!

[@rosemariebredahl9519]

The Brooks case (Wisconsin Parade murderer) hearing (streaming on KZbin), wherein the Judge oddly (in my opinion) concluded he was competent to defend himself, worrisomely suggests (to me, a retired family Dr) that forensic psychiatrists should help protect all defendants rights to justice by promoting better screening of defendants before situations like Mr Brooks' under-informed presumption of competency leads to a discharge of competent council. Please. Thank you.

[@vitorfatima2502]

I'm.loyal your video

[@carolinesuits2840]

do you have ur MSW?

[@annie7064]

Yes!

HELLO FOR THOSE WHO WATCH THIS VIDEO TO PASS THEIR ASSIGNMENT AT DIASS

[@crapolacrayons4622]

Hi, i have a question hopefully you can help. Are correnctional social workers officers?

[@omargalindo5453]

Your music is so loud lol

[@annie7064]

Omar Galindo thanks for letting me know, Omar. I will lower it next time.

[@Ahannaa]

Can you use this degree in social work, being in mental health, and eventually go to Med school for psychiatrist? ❤️

[@jessicaspedroza]

How did you get this degree? and could you have your own private practice with this job title?

[@persusgvalentine9008]

You're a cutie 😘

[@doms6741]

Interesting... Most of this is a waste of time. As I bet that without the help, they wouldn't go back to drugs. The "help" just annoys them enough to remind them not to commit crime.
