鈥�As a pediatric and neonatal Social Worker with over 5 years of experience, I have dedicated my career to supporting the emotional, social, and psychological well-being of children and families. I specialize in supporting substance exposed infants and their families focusing on addressing the unique challenges and needs of this population. Having completed my Masters of Social Work, I have developed a deeper understanding of these challenges but also ensuring all patients have comprehensive care and support.鈥�
June Madden, MSW Graduate December 2024
鈥�I have accepted a position as an LSW in the school setting through my local Family Health Center. I will be providing therapy services to children and will be obtaining hours to work towards my LCSW. One piece of advice that I have for future social workers is to push through. These challenges of completing assignments, choosing the right answers and meeting deadlines will come to an end. The end will be so much greater than the challenges that you have faced and you will be a better social worker and person because of it. So when things get tough, consider how short the months or years are compared to the rest of your life.鈥�
