  • Seen & Heard Part I
    Growing up some children are told they are to "be seen & not heard." Do parents fully understand the damage that could do to their child?

About The Joi of Social Work

From the publisher's feed

The Joi of Social Work Podcast was born as a result of its creator Joi, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker from the Bronx, now living in Atlanta, GA, being hit with tragedy in 2009, 2011 & 2017; with the deaths of her father, mother & boyfriend. Joi's friends encouraged her to tell her story through comedy as she uses humor as a coping mechanism. It wasn't until a friend presented her with a microphone & computer that podcasting became a thought.
