SNUG is hiring a licensed social worker for their

SNUG is hiring a licensed social worker for their Albany/Troy site employed through @TrinityAllianceAlbany. Starting salary is 55k. The SNUG site-based social worker will be joining the existing SNUG team in order to provide individual psychotherapy and additional supportive services. We are looking to hire a trauma-focused masters level social worker whose skill set and training will complement and enhance the outreach services SNUG currently provides. ⁠

⁠
SNUG Background⁠
The SNUG Street Outreach program is an evidence-based, violence reduction initiative that treats gun violence as a disease by identifying its causes and interrupting its transmission. There are 12 SNUG programs across New York State which are funded and supported by the state Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS). At each site, outreach teams of credible messengers – individuals who are hired from the communities in which they work and have backgrounds similar to those with whom they aim to connect – mentor the highest risk youth with an emphasis on conflict mediation and violence prevention. ⁠
⁠
The SNUG Social Work/Case Management Initiative is an innovative partnership between DCJS and the state Office of Victim Services (OVS) that will allow the SNUG program to address trauma experienced by program participants and staff and improve access to victim services in the SNUG cities. By hiring social workers and case managers at all 12 SNUG sites, the program will be equipped to better address the constant exposure to violence that affects youth and families served by the program, their communities and SNUG staff.

Over the past few years, we have interacted with s

Over the past few years, we have interacted with social workers in and outside of New York with questions about state licensing and navigating the New York State Education Department (NYSED) Social Work Board. With the onset of COVID-19, these inquiries multiplied along with the obstacles to meeting the needs of social workers and their clients. In an effort to better understand the experiences, questions, and requests of social workers related to licensing and NYSED we are collecting data. This information will be collected anonymously and used to create a resource page on our website, the development of a CE course, a Chapter Chat, and to better advocate for the needs of social workers in NYS. Please take a moment to share your experiences, questions, or concerns with us, and share this survey with a friend! This is open to NYS social workers, or social workers that are out of state who are engaging with NYSED in order to gain licensure in this state. ⁠

Social workers must invest in themselves before th

Social workers must invest in themselves before they can invest in their clients and communities. This Chapter Chat will help social workers to develop a deeper understanding of financial literacy, the key components of an individual's “money mindset” and how these impact overall health. Led by Corinna Espino, MSW and mental health professional, Sascha Owens, a holistic wellness educator, and Jasper Smith (Mr. #BuildWealth), a financial educator, the workshop is strength-based, evidence-based and rooted in person-in-environment theory/perspective. The facilitators connect financial wellness to holistic care models and equitable practices including the introduction of the core principles of financial wellness, the key components of building positive financial habits, and incorporating financial wellness as a piece of whole-person care. Participants acquire tools and activities to understand their client’s financial past, present and future and the emotions behind money. The conversation will be helpful for social workers service to their communities as well as learning strategies to strengthen their own money mindset.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
We are highlight the work that Sascha, Jasper, and Corinna are doing on this important self & community care topic and advance the work they are doing to support other social workers. ⁠⁠
