Are there any that you belong to or recommend ?
https://www.socialworkers.org/joinBenefits/membertypes.asp was recommended through a blog post and I briefly belonged to http://www.nami.org/.
what do you suggest and why? I do feel a little out in the field and all alone in what I do. sure, I work in a room of social workers but for the most part we push paper and transportation. The only person who is faced with women walking in with a pillow case of their kids clothing and nowhere to go – is me. I need the professional and emotional support as well as networking ability

i have been a volunteer for 2 years on social works and this is a very exciting job for me ~”;
I found your blog in a search for people with a dual diagnosis in substance abuse and mental disorders and if there is a connection to homelessness with it. I can’t tell you anything about anyone else doing social work in your area (sorry), but I am just curious if you have any experience or opinions on how your work is affected by dual diagnosis treatment. Do you have any experience with it?
