    this is not a comment on any of the above. I’m trying to get feedback regarding Sunday hours for private clinical practitioners. Are there social workers in private practice who offer Sunday hours?

    This is not a comment on any of the above, but with all of the horrors and atrocities experienced by our children and their families within our schools and communities, does NASW and all social workers feel as I do that SOCIAL WORKERS MUST RETURN TO OUR SCHOOLS. And not just one social worker covering a school district, or an entire school, but at least one social worker per classroom! Teachers and social workers must work closely together promote change for the better for our children. Teaching is one of the two most important professions in our community. The other profession is Social Work. Teachers are not equiped/trained to problem solve and coordinate wrap around services for children and their families as social workers are. Each profession needs the other for our children’s sake.
