Hello Members of the HSU Department of Social Work Community, This Spring 2015 e-‐NewsleEer features some of the cool things students, staff, and faculty from the program are up to. We try to make the length of this newsleEer long enough to richly describe people's efforts, but not so long that you are disinclined to read it. You should know, though, that there are stories of other great things people are doing that we aren't telling here. We have faculty who are working on ways to beEer support bilingual students in their social work educaLon and faculty who are re-‐invigoraLng local community organizing (an area of social work pracLce that has been quiet in this region for a while). Social work faculty are strengthening relaLonships between academic and pracLce communiLes (which aren't that discreet). We are increasing educaLonal accessibility to people who aren't able to aEend an on campus social work program and we are addressing food security concerns for students who are on campus. There's more, too. Get in touch with us and we can tell you. For now, here's the newsleEer. Check it out. Warmly, Ronnie Swartz Chair, Department of Social Work

Threading CommuniQes: "Working Together to Strengthen RelaQonships" January 9, 2015 at Humboldt State University
“Threading CommuniLes” brought together public and community agencies, private pracLLoners, Hmong-‐affiliated organizaLons and insLtuLons, students and faculty to:
• strengthen relaLonships between Hmong community members and human service professionals, with a parLcular emphasis in child welfare services; • share the work naLonal, regional, and local scholars and pracLLoners are involved in; • idenLfy needs and begin developing soluLons for decreasing barriers and increasing inclusiveness of services for Hmong community members. Presenters included Yer Thao -‐ PhD, Ken Nakamura, Kiea Lee, Cher Teng (Bee) Yang, and Susie Cha. Read their full bios HERE. Susie Cha -‐ MSW, ASW, is a social worker for Humboldt County Children and Family Services and also serves as the Hmong Community Outreach Coordinator for the Social Work program at Humboldt State University. She reflects on the conference:
O"en, I get asked by professionals on how to be8er serve the Hmong Community or why they do not access services. I get asked about tradi@ons and cultural prac@ces. I also get asked to translate or become a community partner. I am grateful that others seek me for assistance and advice; however,

BASW students PaEy Chang and Julian Davlin, and MSW students Rhonda Holmes and Heather King, presented a workshop enLtled: Beyond ‘Poverty Pimping’ and ‘Hand-‐ Outs’: A Case Study of Campus Food Systems Change Through Community Engagement. The workshop explored the engagement of community partners, and proposed informaLonal and desLgmaLz-‐ ing programs to support food security for students.
"We le] the CA Higher Ed. Food Summit feeling validated about the work we are doing on campus through Oh SNAP! and inspired to keep prioriLzing programs and policies that support food jusLce, equity and access for all students on campus," says Jen.

I am only one person. My hope from the conference was to engage and educate service providers about the Hmong and making a commitment to build a rela@onship with the Hmong community. I am honored that Hmong elders, Bee Yang and Yer Thao, and community partners, Ken Nakamura and Kiea Lee, were able to assist me with this conference. They are my mentors and are wise and talented people. All of these people are commi8ed on working with the Hmong Community and have accomplished so in various ways. I hope to achieve similar goals and hope others share the same vision. Ken Nakamura -‐ MSW, is currently the Title IV-‐E Child Welfare Training Project Coordinator at San Diego State University. He was a faculty member in the HSU Department Social Work for over 15 years and was involved in the development of cultural supports in Humboldt County. Mr. Nakamura reflects: The local Hmong community emerged in the late 1980’s as various families relocated to Humboldt County. During the mid-‐1990’s, a range of community efforts were ini@ated to foster be8er community rela@ons and improve opportuni@es for Hmong children and families. Dr. Yer Thao, now a Portland State University professor, was at the @me instrumental in building partnerships that fostered the emergence of a non-‐profit organiza@on, Hmong Community of the North Coast, as well as a very successful a"er-‐school literacy program and a cultural arts program in conjunc@on with The Ink People during that @me. Having worked closely with Yer for five years during the mid-‐90’s, I remember the many hours of effort by in building community consciousness about the Hmong and struggling with the misunderstandings of the exis@ng Humboldt Community in understanding the situa@on of Hmong refugees. Over the years, the community partnerships faded and some of the Hmong families moved across the United States to other Hmong communi@es. With the departure of Yer Thao from the area when he moved to further his educa@on, a slow decline took place un@l today, where many new service providers and social workers have a limited awareness of the history of the Hmong in Humboldt and Del Norte Coun@es. Ms. Susie Cha recognized the need to revitalize and rebuild a posi@ve network of service providers and Hmong community members. Her desires resulted in the “Threading Communi@es” conference and the invita@on to bring Hmong presenters from outside of the area. In the last decade, the Hmong popula@on in Humboldt and Del Norte have grown again. A younger genera@on is raising children, and different issues and desires are emerging.

Campus Learning Intensive January 16-‐18, 2015 at Humboldt State University
Each January, Distributed Learning (DL) students come to campus the week prior to the start of classes for an orientaLon and learning intensive. The DL Intensive is a great Lme to meet staff, faculty and fellow students. Along with lectures and guest presentaLons, the DL Intensive includes a Welcome Dinner for students and their families (pictured above). The HSU Department of Social Work values this Lme to celebrate our Distributed Learning Community. DL MASW Student, Larissa Krause (pictured above), talks about her experience in the program. In May of 2010, while six months pregnant with my second son, I glided across the gradua@on stage at Humboldt Sate University (HSU), having earned my BASW. It was a day not only of celebra@on, but one that marked a new chapter of my life. A"er this day I put my books and trusted highlighter down to focus solely on my role of being “Mom”. Yet, as I folded up my cap and gown on

types of drugs through a jeopardy game. We also had several sign-‐ups for people who were interested in becoming a mentor at the Big Brothers Big Sisters table. The event was very informaLve and fun. It was also a great way for agencies to network with each other-‐ I found out about a lot of great services and agencies in the area that I didn't know about." – Rebekah Bailey “We received a lot of interest and posiLve feedback. The whole event was great. It was fun, family friendly, and a really good way to inform the community about all of the great health resources we have available to us.” – Sarah Goodman For more informaLon about the fair visit: www.stjosepheureka.org __________________________
gradua@on night I thought to myself, “I’m not done yet. I can do so much more with an MSW.” I eased my heart by reminding myself, there would be @me for that later, when both kids were in school, and I had a li8le more free @me to focus on my studies. Being present with my kids during their formidable years was what was most important to me, and so, I felt solid in my decision to hold off on graduate school un@l, “later”. "Later" turned out to be much sooner than I had thought possible -‐ I soon began the HSU Social Work, Distance Learning (DL) Program. Through this program I had the opportunity to be a part-‐ @me, online student, which allowed me to con@nue my studies without compromising the commitments and responsibili@es I have in my life. As with any experience of personal growth, there were challenging @mes during the program. I was able to work through those @mes because the program is designed to help you succeed. I had the biggest support system made out of faculty, staff, and fellow students. Even though I didn’t have as many face-‐to-‐face interac@ons the way an on-‐ campus student does, I never felt isolated or alone. In fact, I felt more connected to my community than ever before. Here I am 3 years later, ready to graduate this May, and I feel incredible! I feel supported, prepared, knowledgeable, and so ready to move on to the next chapter of my life. The SW DL Program is more than just automated words on a computer screen. This program is about people and community working together to achieve success. IMAGES: Day 3 -‐ Masters Project PresentaQons (L-‐R) Nathan Wallace, Levi Frisk, Jessica Ehlers, Julie Cain On Day 3 of the Distributed Learning Intensive, students graduaLng this Spring shared their Masters Projects with the next advancing cohort, who will begin their projects in Fall of 2015.
Vision for Masters Projects -‐ The Masters Project is a pracLce-‐based opportunity for student leadership, creaLvity, self-‐direcLon, professional mentorship and community engagement. Through their project, each student has the opportunity to achieve a level of deepened knowledge and engaged skills around a specific subject of concern or community of interest. Students graduate our program with experience that supports their capacity for leadership, innovaLon, evaluaLon and creaLve problem-‐solving.

These monthly presentaLons fo cus on keeping local organizaLons fresh through learning, sharing, and networking with the premise that local boards lead, delegate and inspire.
Bobbie Good presented the Masters Project she has been developing. Her project includes a guide with templates, tools and Lps for local nonprofit boards to assist with the creaLon and modificaLon of board manuals, bylaws, and orientaLons. Her passion for board governance began 17 years ago when she was a student representaLve on a nonprofit board. She was formerly a board president and is currently the secretary of the Humboldt Area Center for Harm ReducLon (HACHR) board.
The guide is available at HAF in their resource library or can be requested in PDF format.
Department PerspecQve
NaQve Wellness Council & Community Advisory Commi2ee Gathering
On the evening of March 26, 2015, current and former members of the HSU Department of Social Work NaLve Wellness Council and Community Advisory CommiEee along with reLred social work faculty came together to have dinner and strengthen relaLonships.
The theme was: Rooted in Community -‐ Celebra@ng and Engaging in Community Partnership.
The coming together celebrated the Department's exisLng community partnerships and explored ways to strengthen and expand these relaLonships. The evening included dinner, a presentaLon of Masters Projects that have resulted in sustained engagement, and collaboraLve table discussions.
Porscha Cobbs presented her Masters Project, Needs Assessment of the Cher-‐Ae Heights Indian Community of the Trinidad Rancheria, alongside her community partner, Angie Sundberg (Trinidad Rancheria). The purpose of Porscha's project was to determine what social services Tribal members would like to see in their community. AddiLonally, the research asked Tribal members to evaluate the effecLveness and accessibility of current social services. The results of the data collected will be used to inform Trinidad Rancheria's grant wriLng endeavors.
The second half of the evening provided an opportunity to share stories of success, ideas for development, and to engage in collaboraLve discussions around the following quesLons:
• • • •
What community programs/partnerships can the department expand upon? What community resources should the department conLnue to build? What community needs can the department address through partnership? What are examples of programs promoLng community wellness?
The informaLon will be used to assist and advise the Department of Social Work's conLnuing efforts to engage in community partnership and support community wellness.

On April 17, 2015, Department of Social Work lecturer, Holly Scaglione, partnered with Redwood Equine Partners and Healing Strides Psychotherapy, Inc. to offer an Equine-‐Assisted Growth and Learning DemonstraLon (EAGL) at Redwood Acres. Social work students, staff and faculty aEended the demonstraLon.
“AEendees learned from professionals in the field what it is like to do this work and how it is effecLve for clients (individuals, couples, families, and groups) seeking change in their life. The event was a great success for all involved, including the horses!” says Holly. EAGL incorporates horses experienLally for emoLonal growth and learning. ParLcipants learn about themselves and others by engaging in acLviLes with the horses, and then processing (or discussing) feelings, behaviors, and paEerns.
Annual Trip to Hoopa
On Thursday, April 9, 2015, staff and faculty as well as members of the department's NaLve Wellness Council visited mulLple groups in Hoopa, CA engaged in social work pracLce.

Our students reflect:
I really enjoyed the presenta@on and the stories. I thought about what I could bring away from this experience and it is that as a competent social worker I need to know and understand various communi@es. Visi@ng communi@es is a good way to get to know about the culture. When we be8er know about a culture or popula@on within a community we are be8er able to serve them in a way that is conducive to their needs, desires, tradi@ons and ways of living. -‐ Mellissa Williams, BASW 2015

The visit to Hoopa was really wonderful. My favorite element was the story telling that took place in the village. It was really moving to hear the tales of those mountains, this valley, and that river bend all while standing on the land where all of their ceremonies take place. It was an honor to be there. -‐ Rachel Waldman, BASW 2016 ____________________________________________________________________________________

Student Story
Dominique Pearson, BASW Student -‐ Class of 2016
IMAGE: Dominique Pearson
Dominique transferred from Cerritos Community College where he ran track for two years while majoring in Film. "When applying to four-‐year universi@es I wanted to go somewhere where I could s@ll run track and study Film and Sociology. The reason for both majors was that I s@ll loved Film but thought it was not realis@c for me to get a job in the film industry with my stats of not knowing enough people. I originally thought Sociology was a great fit because it was about people -‐ I’m a people person -‐ and open to many jobs. When I applied to Humboldt, I received an almost immediate reply. First, from the track and field coach, and then my le8er of academic acceptance came. I just felt this feeling of how much this school wanted me to be there." As an matriculated student, Dominique sLll had not declared his major. While considering his choice of course work, his track coach showed him informaLon on the Social Work Major. It was one he had not heard of. He decided to go for it. "Taking my first Social Work class, SW 255: Beginning Social Work Experience, was great. I was blessed to work with Be8y Chinn for my hours -‐ an amazing experience. And, the more SW classes I take, the more I love it because I see I’m really helping people. No ma8er if it’s helping youth or helping people get jobs, I know I will be truly helping people in deep ways." "Social Work does have its stressful @mes… so, for my self-‐care program, I have track and my poetry. I have been wri@ng poetry since middle school. I always write down my feelings on big issues that come into my life. This is something great to have in the BASW Program because it lets me release -‐ not keep things bo8led up. The freeness of the pen as I write helps me out a lot." Although Dominique le] is path as a Film student, he didn't leave what he likes to do. Along with his BASW coursework he is currently employed with Humboldt State University AthleLcs -‐ Sports InformaLon/Media where he can sLll work with film.

Julie Sanchez BASW 2010 (HSU), MSW Candidate 2015 (University of Washington)
Julie Sanchez is an enrolled tribal member of the Pueblo de San Ildefonso in Northern New Mexico. She was born and raised in southern California. For the past 7 years, she has been involved with homeless and tribal youth advocacy.
Julie was originally a Marine Biology major and happened to be in the Social Work Freshman Interest Group (FIG) for social jusLce. Through the persistence of Maria BartleE, now Social Work Faculty Emeritus, and a few other professors, she changed her major in 2007 to Social Work. Fortunately, the volunteer work she was already doing in the community could be counted towards the BASW program requirements. Future internship for her as a BASW student included Two Feathers -‐ NaLve American Family Services and UIHS -‐ Children and Family Services.
IMAGES: Julie Sanchez
Julie graduated from HSU in 2010 with her Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work and minor in NaLve American Studies. In the final year of the BASW program she was awarded the CalSWEC Title IV-‐E sLpend. This program engaged her with a populaLon she never once considered working with; high-‐ challenged youth and families (those involved in or at risk for entry into the child welfare system) at RCAA Youth Service Bureau as well as on the pueblo. “A"er gradua@on I had the privilege of working with the Youth Service Bureau as a Youth Caseworker where I received guidance, supervision, and support to take on a posi@on in New Mexico -‐ a large role working directly for my tribe as the Indian Child Welfare (ICW)/Title IV-‐B Program Manager. During the @me I worked for my tribe I built the ICW program from the ground up by assis@ng in re-‐wri@ng the tribe’s law and order codes, coordina@ng delivery services with federal agents, crea@ng a culturally specific substance abuse program, and advoca@ng for the pueblo’s youth-‐in-‐care across the southwest.” “Through this experience I gained a love of administra@on and leadership. This influenced my decision to a8end the University of Washington – Sea8le (UW) School of Social Work for my MSW with their concentra@on on administra@on and policy. The opportunity to work with my tribe also allowed me to reconnect with my pueblo’s tradi@onal customs and language.”
(Alumni, cont.)
Julie is currently in the final quarter of the Advanced Standing MSW program at UW – SeaEle. She is an intern at the City of SeaEle’s Human Services Department (HSD) under the Youth Employment Program. She has been an essenLal part of iniLaLng the Mayor’s Youth At Work IniLaLve, which launched this spring and is going to serve over 2,000 of SeaEle’s low-‐income/high-‐barrier youth. Currently, she is also piloLng a youth evaluaLon survey for the program, sixng on numerous task force teams, all while working and going to school full-‐Lme. In the next few months she will be working with Indigenous Wellness Research InsLtute (IWRI) as a Graduate Research Assistant to further guide her love of empirical data and working with American Indian communiLes. A]er graduaLon she plans to apply for a PhD program and eventually go back to her pueblo to further build her tribal community’s Indian Child Welfare program. “I will always thank the HSU Social Work program as well as the CALSWEC s@pend program for giving me the direc@on to become an advocate, a listener, and a tacmul fighter for tribal youth in the child welfare system. HSU’s Social Work program ins@lled in me a strong understanding of social jus@ce, theore@cal perspec@ves and methodological thinking that has allowed me to flourish as a social worker.” ____________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________
