Social Workers and Support Workers

Embarking on a new career can be both exciting and rewarding as you learn to navigate your way, to collaborate and network, to build on your communication style and to identify ways to put your learning into practice.

It can also be a little daunting and sometimes overwhelming and preventing burn out in caring roles is important and in my experience good self care is key. 

Let me share my experiences and knowledge with you so that we can:

 

  • Explore best options for you
  • Plan good self care routines 
  • Support you to practice safely while navigating the more difficult issues
  • Help you to build a robust, committed, focused and passionate career and practice

I want to listen wholeheartedly and support  you in your journey.

I use a kete of ideas, approaches, models and theories

I enjoy and encourage discussion about Positive Psychological Theory and how these concepts can be used to incorporate good self care routines.

I aim to ensure that the basic physiological needs of every client I work with ends engagement with these at the least in place.

I believe in building strong foundations for professional practice. I love Mason Durie’s Te Whare Tapa Wha model so much so that I have incorporated this into my lotus logo to gently remind me of what is important. The surrounding petals represent a wraparound style support and a space in the centre for the client.

“Like a lotus flower, we too have the ability to rise from the mud, bloom out of the darkness and radiate into the world”.

Dalice | Social Worker Supervisor @ Sup 4 the Soul

In my role in mental health brief intervention in medical practices, I am very fortunate to have Dalice as a colleague. She collaborates constructively with all members of the practice team and always keeps patients’ concerns at central focus with unfailing professionalism, warmth, humour and integrity. The social work profession has benefited enormously from her innovative contributions to making primary health care the one-stop community resource it needs to be.
