How three courses changed her career path
Miranda Mayeaux chose to focus on mental health when she enrolled at BCSSW in fall 2021. But it wasn’t until she started taking courses in trauma-informed care that she was able to find her niche.
Social work education is intentional in its integration of classroom instruction with experiential learning. From the moment you start an MSW at BCSSSW, you'll begin to gain real-world experience through a field practicum with an organization that complements your goals and passions.

“I am endlessly grateful for the thought, time, and care my supervisor gave to my education and growth as a social worker and human. I will be referencing conversations and insight I gained this year for years and years to come, and I'm certain that big and small moments will take on new meaning as I continue to grow. I deeply respect the way that my supervisor centers relationships, restoration, liberation, and collaboration.”
