In this powerful episode, LaShanna Alfred sits down with forensic social worker, author, and speaker Tricia Reese to discuss how she transformed personal trauma into purpose and professional impact. Tricia shares how her lived experiences shaped her career, the important role forensic social workers play within the legal system, and how social workers can use their education and experiences beyond traditional clinical settings.
This conversation will inspire social workers to recognize the value of their stories, explore nontraditional career opportunities, and expand their influence through advocacy, authorship, speaking, and service.
If you have ever felt limited by your past—or boxed in by your profession—this episode will remind you that your experiences can become part of the expertise that helps you change lives.
