About this listen

In this episode, we were joined by Mamie Gould, an LMSW and hospital social worker in Newport, WA. Mamie shared her experiences working in a border town, discussing the unique barriers and challenges that come with serving a community on the edge of two states and dealing with cross-jurisdictional issues. We also explored the dynamics of working and living in small communities, highlighting both the rewards and the difficulties. Mamie reflected on the close-knit nature of small towns, where relationships are deeply personal, but also discussed how limited resources, cultural differences, and access to services can present significant challenges for social workers in rural settings.
