Do you have a CF social worker?
I’ve mentioned a time or two that I am currently in grad school pursuing a social work degree. As I’ve been on this learning journey, I’ve been reflecting on my own experiences with social workers.
A social worker has been part of my interdisciplinary CF care team since I was a child, but I haven’t always connected with them. However, in recent years, my CF social worker has been a steadfast supporter of mine. She has helped me navigate some difficult life/CF/mental health circumstances, has shared resources, has given me encouragement and guidance, and has helped me feel confident in pursuing my passions outside of CF. Her presence in my life and as part of my CF care team has been incredibly positive; I wish everyone had the kind of support she offers.
Is a social worker part of your CF care team? Do you feel that your mental and emotional concerns related to CF are addressed at your clinic? What have your experiences with social workers been like?
