Slow Down: Change Takes Time in Social Work: How technology and unrealistic timescales shape the way we see progress
from Social Work Sorted with Vicki Shevlin · host Vicki Shevlin
From postmodern art to AI, I’m exploring how technology warps our sense of speed — and why that matters in social work. In this episode, I share how unrealistic timescales harm families, shape new social workers’ expectations, and leave us feeling like we’re “not moving fast enough.” It’s a reminder that learning, change, and growth take time — and that’s okay.
