How can a school social worker use social media to help thousands of other social workers? 

This week we talk with Lauren Gutierrez, LCSW, AKA Social Work Scrapbook and we asked her all the juicy details about what it's like being a social worker on social media with thousands of followers on YouTube and on Instagram. 

She'll talk to us about: 

What brought her into social work

What she does as a school social worker in Texas and how she stays excited about her work

The history of Social Work Scrapbook

She'll also dive deep into the juicy business related things that I KNOW you want to know from her! 

 Dealing with and overcoming Imposter Syndrome

How supervising interns led to a successful YouTube and Instagram channel that has helped thousands of social workers over the course of 3 years

Lauren will let us in on some pros and cons of social media including:

Being motivated to give useful information, support, and tips

Social media as an artistic outlet

Building an uplifting community 

The work behind running a popular social media account (messages need to be responded to and weigh on you because can't possibly get to all of them)

Needing to draw a line on what is shared on social media and having strong boundaries 

Lauren's TOP TIP to get started in the online space:

Find your social work niche; something you love to talk about!
