DAY IN THE LIFE OF A SOCIAL WORKER IN JAIL // MSW Criminal Justice Field Placement

[@meaghanashley]

i'm so happy I found your channel. I'm currently two years into my Bachelors degree of social work in Canada, and have a degree in Correctional Intervention. My hope is to one day become a social worker in the carceral system so it's inspiring to see others experiences. I also love your personality✨

[@AnnaBea]

ah hello Meaghan! I'm so glad you found this channel, too :) I love getting to hear the experiences of different social workers -- esp bc we are wanting to do such similar things. that's awesome!!! best of luck on your social work journey & please never hesitate to reach out if you ever have any questions

[@thebosseyouness3957]

That's great 👍

[@MoniqueCBaisden]

Thank you for sharing this! This was helpful to see. On a sidenote: You have such a calming spirit and tone of voice. You could totally do ASMR, if you wanted to.

[@khansvirtualdiary]

this is impactful

[@aliceschipper5097]

I’m interested in becoming a mental health social worker (what we call it in Aus) working with young people as I have lived experience. I’m just trying decide to do a psych or social work degree. I like social worker’s approach to therapy but psych’s have more recognition here. Thanks for your video.

[@addiejuarez8435]

My professor is making us watch this video but I’m so glad he is because I loved it sm

[@AnnaBea]

wait omg that's so funny to me. which class is this for?? welcome, I hope I could be a fun little school break for you😂

[@Andriba1]

Hi, thank you for this video! I'm from Brasil and I'm intern social worker in child protection in France. I'd like to have some experiences in criminal field, but I d'ont know if I am ready for it. Actually, I'll have to change my critical view of dangerous criminals, above all, but It's not so easy...

[@thomasnugent3836]

Very informative 👏 Best of luck to you

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Happy Sunday night Anna and I loved your night routine vlogs because you are amazing productive and you are amazing Supporter

[@michellestephanie_]

This video is so interesting! There was a psych class at my university that gave students the opportunity to visit a juvenile center and work with them (like make crafts and stuff) but I was under 21 so I couldn't take the class lol!

[@AnnaBea]

there are occasionally some groups like that who come in with my boys!! so fun :)

[@OhHeyShy]

Idk if I said it already I think I did but my brain is mush, congrats on 1K!!! I love how much your channel has grown, I’ve been learning how to do workouts as a way to relieve stress instead of thinking it’s stressful to workout if that makes sense lol also love your nails! And I love that you prioritize self care so much I need that in my life. Curry is amazing I literally had some two days ago stew curry chicken 🙈 loved this ❤️

[@AnnaBea]

thank you so much!!! it was such a fun goal to meet :) I definitely work out to chase the endorphins that come after lol

[@sarahwoodward4094]

I did part of MSW internship with my local CMH and jail diversion program and spent time in our county jail as well.

[@AnnaBea]

ah we relate there!!

[@shamecalouis]

SO HAPPY I FOUND YOUR CHANNEL! I'm actually currently at a community college majoring in criminal justice.

[@AnnaBea]

woohoo I'm so happy you found it too!!!! welcome :)

[@ErikaTuckfield]

I'm so glad I found your video. I am also in an online MSW program and I am currently finishing up my first internship I'm hoping to work in mental health in a prison or jail for my second internship. Do you have any advice in finding a placement at a jail or prison? I am currently in Michigan but will be moving to Georgia where I will complete my second internship.

[@barbthereader2532]

Love your videos!! Do you have supervision when you are doing your rounds in your field placement?

[@AnnaBea]

thank you for the support!! :) there are always officers close by! so I never feel unsafe. and my supervisor is always easy access if I have any clinical questions or need advice.

[@MaryNabaggala]

Thanks alot

[@johnthebaptist5574]

Figuring out whether to choose psychology or social work. My desire is to use either qualification to move on to studies in human sexuality and sex ed. Does anyone have any advice? 😅

[@AnnaBea]

I think a difference is that psych focuses on the individual whereas social work focuses on individuals, groups, and communities! I think social work is a more holistic option and spends more time on soft skills like how to make a true, good impact than other disciplines focus on. This is 100% a biased answer so probably find someone who majored in psych to also weigh in but I think social work would prepare you very well!

[@johnthebaptist5574]

Thanks a lot.

[@mansoor3159]

Heyy! Anna your vlogs are so so beautiful and I really enjoyed watching your vlogs so so much you’re too cute and I wish you reach 2K Subscribers very very soon!♥️♥️🙈😍

[@AnnaBea]

Thank you so much!!

[@SS-sg4eg]

How safe is it? is there any risk of violence against social workers in prison ?

[@AnnaBea]

Prisons do have violence, but I didn't feel particularly unsafe. My role inside was a supportive one and I was able to build good rapport with many of the teens I worked with. However, there were also always officers around so I was never truly by myself without nearby support if there were to be an altercation near me

[@mAr1AJ100]

Hi! I really liked your video! I am in my second year of studying Social Work in Greece, and I would really love to evolve my studies, into prison Social Work! Do you know any good university in Europe that offers postgraduate courses in the field of prison social work? Unfortunately I haven't found anything yet, apart from America. I know it's too soon for me but I'm just so excited! It would be nice if you replied, thank you so much!!

[@afaqkhan8191]

Mam can you tell me community service scope is good in Australia?

[@AnnaBea]

I live in the US so I'm not sure!

[@priyagaba1000]

How u got ur ceu’s

[@EclairDontCare]

Does every inmate have to do this or only the severe ones ?

[@AnnaBea]

Everyone had the opportunity to participate in mental health services no matter what their charges were!

[@PraiseBeToGodOurLord]

I'm a physical therapy student. Why am I watching this? 🤡Regardless, I appreciate your work!

[@AnnaBea]

hahah glad to have you here!!!!!

[@s.r5549]
