[HumanSer] Fwd: In search of human services professionals for presentation opportunity

[43210 at Bellsouth.net]

Hello Sara,

Below is the email I sent in response to your note:

 

Hello,

I am John David Townsend, a clinical social worker in Florida.  I have been employed as a social worker since 1980 when I completed my MSW degree.  In New York City I worked with people with chronic psychiatric disorders and with people who were without housing and had mental health and/or substance use disorders.  In Florida I have worked with seniors and, for 20 years, in a hospital based psychiatric clinic for children.  At present I am in private practice working as a contractor in a mental health agency.

 

I am old and a younger presenter might be a better fit for your program, but I would be able to participate should you see fit.

We are in search of three panelists who have experience working as counselors, therapists, social workers, case workers, etc. who would love to share how they do their job as a blind professional.
