Fall 2013 issue of THE NEW SOCIAL WORKER is available now!
As we continue our 20th year of publication of THE NEW SOCIAL WORKER magazine, exciting things are happening!

First, I want to thank all of our subscribers to THE NEW SOCIAL WORKER's free electronic edition. The Fall 2013 issue of The New Social Worker magazine is now ready to download! It is available, free of charge, in PDF format, directly from The New Social Worker Web site.
THE NEW SOCIAL WORKER magazine and SaraKay Smullens' article on burnout and self care
in the social work profession received the 2013 NASW Media Award for
Magazine/Magazine Article. SaraKay and I will be at the PA NASW
conference next week to accept the awards. I hope to see some of you
there!
For this Fall season, Karen Zgoda and I put together THE NEW SOCIAL WORKER Magazine's Back-to-School Guide for Social Work Students.
This guide is a collection of articles from the magazine that will help
students succeed in the new academic year, mixed with back-to-school
tips from a variety of social work experts. The guide is available in
e-book formats only at Amazon.com (Kindle edition) and Smashwords.com (ePub and other formats).
A new book for your wish list! BEGINNINGS, MIDDLES, & ENDS: SIDEWAYS STORIES ON THE ART & SOUL OF SOCIAL WORK
is is a collection of 99 stories, parables, poetry, and other writings
on life as a social worker. It contains wit and wisdom about the
profession that you will not find in a traditional textbook. As author
Ogden Rogers says in the book's preface, "If
they provoke a smile, or a tear, or a critical question, it’s worth
it." I hope you'll consider putting this book on your holiday and
graduation wish list!

Catching Up With THE NEW SOCIAL WORKER
Just a few notes to catch you up with some things that have happened since my last post here in March (Social Work Month).
The Summer issue of THE NEW SOCIAL WORKER is coming out this week, so be on the lookout for it! If you have not subscribed yet (it's free), you can subscribe now at this link.
- THE NEW SOCIAL WORKER won the 2013 NASW Media Award for Best Magazine/Magazine Article! Thank you to all who voted. You can read the award-winning article on self care and burnout here. Congrats to SaraKay Smullens for this article. And, of course you can read the magazine here.
- Our Spring 2013 issue came out in April. You can download it here. Highlights include: Part I of our new series on mandated reporting of suspected child abuse and neglect by Kathryn Krase, the first installment of our new "Turn Up the Tech in Social Work" column by Ellen Belluomini, ethics and texting, learning about learning, continuing education attitudes, what social workers need to know about money, and more.
- We moved our office! This was a big project and part of the reason that this blog has not been updated during this time. Our mailing address has not changed, but our physical space has. I am enjoying the new office quite a bit and still getting settled in.

Happy Birthday, Jane Addams
Today, September 6, is Jane Addams' birthday. Addams, born in 1860, was a pioneer in the social work field and was a Nobel Peace Prize winner. She is known as a pioneer in the settlement house movement and the founder of Hull House.
THE NEW SOCIAL WORKER magazine published an article about settlement houses in 1998. You can read it here:
Settlement Houses: Old Idea in New Form Builds Community
In 2012, Hull House closed after providing social services in the Chicago area for 122 years. We published the following article about the closing:
Lessons from Hull House
And, in the Journal of Social Work Values and Ethics, we published this 2009 article on Addams" influence on a social worker:
Following in Jane Addams' Footsteps
I remember reading about Jane Addams when I was a little girl, and I was very inspired by her. When did you first hear about Jane Addams, what stood out about her, and how did her work influence the work you do today?

Introduction
As this is my first post in the NSWO Blog, I thought it best to introduce myself since, well, you'll be hearing a lot about me (and I hope you'll comment and share about yourself).
Quite honestly, I never really know what to say when I'm in a room of people and it's time for introductions. As a woman in my late 20s, I'm still getting used to being a "woman" instead of a "girl," and being called "ma'am" instead of "miss."
When meeting for the first time, people often ask what a person does. That's also tricky for me. What do I do? I spoil my dog, I sleep in late whenever possible, I eat too much junk food (sorry for ignoring you, food pyramid, but pizza is just so so good!), I love watching People's Court and Golden Girls, I love to write, and I sing in the shower. That's honestly what I do.
If you want to know who I am, however, I suppose that's really where my role as a social worker emerges. I am an advocate for those whose voices aren't yet strong enough to speak up. I am an activist who marches on Washington and stands daily for equality. I am a person who calls her congressperson to urge him/her to vote the way I believe is right for the greater good. I am a person who gives charity donations in someone's name for holiday gifts.
As a profession, I am a recently graduated MSW, the third generation of such (a cousin in my Grandma's generation finished her MSW in the early 1950s and one in my parents' earned hers in the early 1990s, mine was conferred in 2010). I have been a staff member for socialworkchat.org since before beginning my MSW program, where I run the student board and I guest host, sometimes guest speak. I'm a book reviewer original piece writer for The New Social Worker Magazine. And, as of 3 months ago, I am the Program Director of a senior citizen's program in Astoria, NY (Queens/NYC). That means I'm also the supervisor for staff members and I attend meetings in places like the Empire State Building.
And that brings me to why I'm here, writing this blog. I've been asked to chronicle my journey through the beginnings of my post-MSW life. The first piece of this was published in the Winter, 2011 edition (http://www.socialworker.com/digitalmag/winter2011.pdf pg 32).
I am very excited to share my life with all of you and I do hope you'll comment and share your thoughts with me... I apologize a bit in advance for the times I'll likely make you wonder what I was thinking, but I promise, I'll write as honestly as possible about all of the successes and missteps along the way as I stumble through my first year as a professional social worker.

Articles from this issue are also available on our Web site ( http://www.socialworker.com/ ) in Web format.
I want to extend congratulations on behalf of THE NEW SOCIAL WORKER to all new social work graduates!
I am very excited about this issue, because it addresses some very important ideas for all of us in social work, and especially for new graduates.
As social workers, we often help clients with their anxiety. We know that some anxiety can be detrimental to one’s health, but that sometimes anxiety can serve a useful purpose in people’s lives. And that includes our own! So, in this issue, we introduce the concept of New Social Worker Anxiety Syndrome (NSWAS), a term coined by Jonathan Singer and Claudia Dewane. We also answer some of your questions about the ASWB licensing exams in an interview with the ASWB executive director.
Here are some highlights from this issue:
• Student Role Model: Nanci Woodson
• Social Workers as Whistle Blowers
