If you’ve ever wondered, “What actually makes social work different from other therapy degrees?”—this episode is for you.
Somewhere along the way, social work started getting reduced to “just therapy.” And while social workers can provide therapy, that’s only a fraction of what we’re trained to do.
In this episode, we’re breaking down the real differences between a Social Work degree (MSW) and therapy-focused degrees, and why this confusion is contributing to a growing professional identity crisis within the field.
More importantly, we’re talking about what’s at stake if social workers don’t start clearly defining—and owning—their unique role.
