I have applied for my 2nd & final #placement for 2023, I am so excited to see what unfolds! The form asked 'where are you interested in doing placement' & I ticked every single region in QLD. Lets see where I end up! Chasing every opportunity that comes my way. #ruralsocialwork

#Socialwork & #Publichealth community! I'm looking for more #trainingcourses, opportunities, #seminars like these, #workshops, or anything to expand my knowledge & skills. I'm after recommendations! How do I go about finding these? I follow Australian Association of Social Workers & have started there, what else?

'Paying attention to your attention' What a simple way to put it.

Studying #climatechange this sem & I must confess, when I saw Climate Change & Women on the calendar I was cynical. 'Why do we make every issue a feminist issue?', I thought. How wrong I was! Shocked to learn how disproportionately affected we are, especially developing countries

Quick visit to my dad at Berakah Farm, my old school & stomping ground! Man I learnt & grew so much from this horse & the program there. Not just agriculture related, but in skills like leadership, teamwork, resilience, patience & discipline. Awesome opportunities for students!

Yes please!!!

Power gap is lessened on a home visit. 1. I knock & wait to be invited in as ‘Dr. Sammy’ 2. I take off my shoes 3. I hang my coat on the bannister (no lab coat) 4. I sit 5. I ask permission to speak openly (plain language) 6. I co-create care plans I am a guest. #MedTwitter

Catching up on lectures as the sun sets in Hue, Vietnam! We arrived yesterday, I spent this morning exploring the streets & markets via foot & motorbike, then we will begin working with the Vietnamese students & staff on Monday. What an opportunity! New Colombo Plan QUT School of Public Health and Social Work (PHSW)

Everywhere I turn, I’m seeing more young people using e-cigarettes. Shaped like highlighters or hoodie toggles, and in flavours like “fruit loops” or “strawberry kisses”. We need URGENT, stronger protections on these addictive devices. Before a new gen is hooked on nicotine.

Teachers at a Sagaing school hit by a military helicopter attack last week have spoken of the terrifying horror of the onslaught – including watching a wounded child screaming in agony, begging to die. frontiermyanmar.net/en/teachers-re…

3 week exchange in Việt Nam complete! Our research Q was 'What role can social work play in combating the social issues in relation to climate change in Việt Nam?' We met with experts in the field, NGO's, students, local government & community members. An invaluable experience

I just got accepted for a scholarship to attend this conference! Off to Hobart in November. What an honour to be a student learning from and connecting with experts and professionals in my aspiring field of work. I'll be taking it all in. #palliativecare #student #socialwork

I'm intrigued and excited to attend this workshop run by Dr Peter Westoby (he/him) this weekend. As a student I anticipate feeling slightly out of my depth, but that is where you learn, right?

What is #IRemember? 🤔 From 7-13 November, #IRemember creates a space to share memories, remember those we have lost, and break the taboo around grief and #bereavement. Find out more here: loom.ly/L4OdAF8

Submitted my final assessment this morning, and off to Tasmania tomorrow! Very honored to be able to attend this conference on a student scholarship.

A little bit more from my recent month in Vietnam! #exchange #climatechange #socialwork
