How To Do A Conference That Doesn’t Suck: The Oxford Symposium In School-Based Family Counseling

Posted by Michael Kelly | Aug 11, 2020 | Reflections on Practice, Research That Matters, Resources We Love | 0 |

The Oxford Symposium in School-Based Family Counseling is a week-long symposium that pulls off the rare feat of being rigorous, inspiring, & fun. It also doesn’t suck. We just wrapped another Symposium, this time all-virtual, and I’m reflecting on what makes it so special. The power and warmth and longevity of the Symposium makes me think about why so many other academic meetings I attend regularly suck, & what can happen when they don’t.

Notes on Becoming an Anti-racist School Social worker

Posted by Michael Kelly | Aug 5, 2020 | Reflections on Practice, Research That Matters, Resources We Love | 0 |

This post features a lecture I gave on July 17th as part of Day 2 of the 15th Annual Loyola SMHAPP Virtual Summer Institute. In the video, I get into a variety of excellent anti-racist education resources that have contributed to my own efforts to take actions as an anti-racist school social worker and educator. But even though my talk was titled “Becoming an Anti-racist SSW,” it’s clear that this is a lifelong, daily task, not a final goal that any of us can reach.

New Research on Opening SchoolS Safely in The COVID-19 Era: SSW Experiences & Recommendations

Posted by Michael Kelly | Jul 15, 2020 | Announcements, Research That Matters | 0 |

School social workers (SSWs) have long been in these schools battling for racial, social, and economic justice — and making sure that families, teachers, and students have the resources and services they need. Our national study of 1,275 SSWs presents their voices and suggestions in connection with COVID-19, the reopening of schools, online services, and how reinvestment in low-income communities and schools should transpire. Thanks to all of you who shared your perspectives with us by taking this survey. Here’s what you told us and what we think should be done to re-open schools safely and rebuild our American community.

“in this program I found a cohort:” SMHAPP Students Tell Their Story (Part 3)

Posted by Michael Kelly | Jul 3, 2020 | Interventions, Reflections on Practice, Tier 2, Tools for Practice | 0 |

“ I was feeling pretty burned out at school, you know, working as a school social worker. I was feeling like I was spinning my wheels and I didn’t have. I felt like I needed support I needed more tools. And so in this program I did find that I found a cohort, I found a cohort of other school social workers that have been extremely supportive and then I also learned so much about evidence based and evidence informed programs.”

“MY FAVORITE PART ABOUT THE SMHAPP WAS THE DIRECT APPLICABILITY OF ALL OF THE COURSE CONTENT”– SMHAPP Students Tell Their Story (Part 2)

Posted by Michael Kelly | Jul 1, 2020 | Interventions, Reflections on Practice, Tools for Practice | 0 |

I want to share that the SMHAPP was a great addition to what I already had with my MSW. What this program helped me not only with all the material
that is very practical for me to use in practice, is the that just seeing, hearing and listening to what social work is and how big of an impact we can actually have was a mentality change for me. I would encourage anyone to go for it and do the SMHAPP because the one year we have in internship practice in a school is not enough to learn everything there is. So again, I felt like I needed more. And like others said it’s not just something else I had to do. It was a pleasure to do these things.
