.@P4PNational is a movement across university campuses calling for social work students to be paid for fieldwork. As organizers say, “economic hardship shouldn’t be a prerequisite” for the job. Full story for @TeenVogue and EHRP by @Rainesford #LaborDay teenvogue.com/story/unpaid-w…
To Unpaid Interns, For your unrecognized labor, THANK YOU, and Happy Labor Day! With solidarity, Payment for Placements #LaborDay2023 #HappyLaborDay #P4P #PaymentforPlacements #Payment4Placements #PayInterns #SocialWork #MSWintern #BSWintern
Payment for Placements #P4P has a website! #Payment4Placements is a nationwide movement calling for all social work students to be paid for their field work. Visit payment4placements.org.
Social workers are essential workers, and we strongly believe that unpaid internships don't just contribute to the devaluation of the social work profession, but also create undue burdens and unnecessary barriers. #SocialWorkTwitter #P4P #EconomicSocialJustice #Internships
Unpaid field work harms students and the field of social work as a whole. Thanks @Rainesford for this incredible piece! @P4PNational @UGAP4P @payourinterns
“Student organizers say they value the work they do in the field and that’s why they’re fighting so hard to prevent economic hardship for those who come after them.” @Rainesford for @TeenVogue #UnpaidInternships @P4PNational @UGAP4P #P4P #PaymentforPlacements @payourinterns

Unpaid Work Experience Is a Requirement That Harms Students in #SocialWork, #Nursing, & #Teaching, read @Rainesford’s article for @TeenVogue, story supported by @econhardship bit.ly/TeenVogue_ReqU…
There are entire fields, including education, social work, counseling + nursing, where unpaid fieldwork is seen as a given. @Rainesford spoke to young students who can't afford to keep working without getting paid. tinyurl.com/4ep9a6x7 @econhardship
"According to @P4PNational, a movement across university campuses calling for social work students to be paid for fieldwork, 88% of MSW internships at @UMich were unpaid." We'll lose social workers if getting an education means they can't afford to live. teenvogue.com/story/unpaid-w…

@RecoverinOrphan @ShimonDCohen @AlanDettlaff @P4PNational On the national level, the More Social Workers (MSWs) in Libraries Act H.R.3006 includes funding for paid student placements.

@RecoverinOrphan @ShimonDCohen @AlanDettlaff @P4PNational In 2023, there have been several bills introduced to allot funding for social work field placements in CA, IL, MA, MN, NM, OR, TX…
@RecoverinOrphan @ShimonDCohen @AlanDettlaff @P4PNational This year, NM provided funding for MSW internships in the state’s budget, HB 2. This includes funding for agency instructors.
@BernieSanders Absolutely, I agree 100%. This is kind of a hot button for me. The helping professions require a lot of education but the pay is pathetic.
@BernieSanders I started a CPS internship the same week as 3 new paid staffers. I completed more cases in less hours than then the first 6 weeks, because of the days they spent getting trained on payroll & benefits, etc. But I got no pay, and not enough mentoring. Internships deserve pay.
@josephdaignault @BernieSanders There was a @P4PNational National Week of Action #P4PNWOA (in April) with walkouts. Social work students from across the US protested unpaid practicums linktr.ee/p4pnwoa
@BernieSanders They should have a nation day of quitting the profession until pay rates increase. Our society has made it clear we care more about short term profit then assisting future generations.
As a therapist, who has been doing this work for nearly a decade, I can confirm this 100%! #therapyispolitical
Social Workers across the country are fighting for dignity and respect on the job.
Internships are exploitive. All interns in all fields should be paid a living wage. Bc of the cost of housing across much of the country, these interns must work sometimes 2 more jobs to make ends meet, leading to early burnout and lower quality of care for clients
Social Workers across the country are fighting for dignity and respect on the job.
AHHH GO BETH GO
Social Workers across the country are fighting for dignity and respect on the job.
this is amazing :’) my last semester of undergrad, i worked my internship full-time for free & paid tuition, & for my year long schools internship, i was paid $7200 for the whole school year. now i have over $100k in loans for 2 degrees i don’t use bc i burnt out immediately lol

I stand with the Social Work students of UGA!! I wish I would have thought of it 😜 before I worked for free. I'm so grateful for the next generation, you are changing the lens of which we view things. I'm loving every moment of it. #P4P #UGA onlineathens.com/story/news/edu…
UGA social work students on Monday walked out to raise awareness of unpaid internships. onlineathens.com/story/news/edu…
On Monday afternoon, students at the University of Georgia School of Social Work took part in a walkout to protest unpaid field labor placements and the exploitation that students are facing within the social work program. buff.ly/3MBqiYw
