Dating as a social worker

Social Work Radio
About this episode

This week, our hosts discuss dating as a social worker - does being a social worker throw up additional complications when dating? Would you date a fellow social worker? Would you 'swipe right' on someone connected to a client? And if you're already in a relationship, does being a social worker affect it?

Join the conversation, every Friday morning with Social Work Radio - created by social workers, for social workers.
