This is for you if you are a newly qualified social worker who has just been allocated their first family to work with. That stomach-drop moment? It's completely normal—and I'm here to walk you through it.

Inside this episode:

• What to do immediately after seeing that first family in your inbox
• How to process the nerves, self-doubt, and emotional overwhelm
• The simple but vital question to ask: what area of the law am I working under?
• Why clear supervision is essential—and how to confidently ask for it
• Steps to prepare for your first visit while staying relationship-focused
• How your emotions impact the people you’re working with (and how to use that power positively)

I am sharing a behind the scenes insight to ASYE Core Skills Training and talk about The Social Work Collective Academy—a resource-packed space to support new social workers through every step of their first year.
