Did you know that March is National Social Work Month? At some point in their life, everyone needs a social worker. Social Workers are Therapists, we work in hospitals, schools, libraries, with veterans, and at more nonprofits than you’ll ever be able to name. We support families, those who are hurting and grieving, and those in need. Social Workers are everywhere people are, and we are highly educated. 

Well over 50% of social workers have a masters degree, but all have a four-year degree. This is far more than other professions require. For example, while many nurses have a four-year degree, they are only required to have a two year degree. 
In Texas, the title of social worker is protected. That means you must have a social work degree, sit for a licensing exam, and have a license approved by the state in order to call yourself a “social worker”. The ability to offer therapy requires a masters degree and an additional two years of practice and supervision before you can sit for the clinical exam and apply to receive a state license. Some go beyond that, and earn a doctorate in social work. All social workers must attend continuing education hours and report that attendance to the state every two years in order to keep our license. And we do all of this because “it matters to that one.”

So the next time you hear, someone called a social worker, realize what it took for them to be able to earn that title. And, if you get a chance, thank a social worker today.

Today begins Women’s History Month. In my first year of college I had to do a presentation on something in the textbook. I chose, “All the women omitted from the textbook.” From Victoria Woodhull running for president in 1872, to a variety of other politically and historically relevant women, my hajab wearing partner and I had the longest presentation in the class. My male professor was enraged at our topic and rolled his eyes, but he had to give us an A. Women are powerful and all too often completely overlooked. I’ll share my history making role at some point this month. While you wait, share your role in history. Hint: you each have one!

Last week I was in Waco and found these tiny wings stuck in a brick building in a downtrodden area. No reason for them to be there, they just were. It made me think of all we miss by not appreciating the random beauty around us. Today I’m going to Bowie, Tx to coordinate working with women who are experiencing crisis pregnancies. When you live in a rural area you do not have many options and I want to expand those options. I want women to know that no matter what their choice is when they’re in crisis, it is their choice to make, and I am there to support them. Women in rural settings deserve options too! Their wings deserve acknowledgment.

Women’s wings are often like this image, small and easily overlooked. My goal is to encourage each of you to spread your wings and be all you can be. And if you have yet to find your wings, I can help with that too. ~ Dr. Constance

Did you know that today is the anniversary of the book “the feminine mystique”. I still use this at my work because it has come full circle. It will remain a valuable tool as long as women are fighting for rights. 

On February 19, 1963, Betty Friedan’s book The Feminine Mystique is published, shaking the ground beneath an Am...
