Sullivan, W. P., Hostetter, C., & Hostetter, C. (2023). Experiences of Mental Health Professionals in the Rapid Pivot to Telehealth: Implications for Social Work Practice. Advances in Social Work, 23(1), 221-239. https://doi.org/https://doi.org/10.18060/26161
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the adoption of telehealth in behavioral healthcare was rapidly accepted. This article reflects one component of a larger qualitative study that sought to understand the personal and professional experiences of front-line workers and their supervisors during the pivot to virtual services during the COVID-19 pandemic. The current article is focused on the question, what were mental health workers’ reactions, both personal and professional, to the rapid adoption of technology in their community mental health center practice? Thirty-six mental health professionals, ranging from front line workers to supervisors, participated in telephone and Zoom interviews between late August and mid-November 2020. Respondents spoke of their organization’s rapid response, the switch to telehealth for many services, the impact of this switch on professional practice, and their perceptions of the effectiveness of virtual services. They also shared their thoughts about the future of telehealth. The rapid changes, necessary for clients and the organization alike, brought an opportunity to reimagine service delivery. As social work is a profession that heavily emphasizes ethics and advocacy, and is the predominant professional group in community mental health, the final section examines implications for social work practice including practice ethics, consideration of factors on a micro, macro, and environmental level, the need to balance protection of the individual with the rights of many, and the necessity to take care of those doing the work as well.

Hostetter, C. (2022). Combatting Stereotype Threat. Center for Learning and Teaching Excellence, New Albany, IN United States.
We have all had students who express doubts about their ability to succeed in their academic pursuits, often believing harmful cultural messages that can become crippling. Threats to students’ learning become threats to our survival as an institution. The address will present the research on stereotype threats and how to combat them, and will provide an opportunity to apply SOTL concepts to discover useful interventions.

I led this workshop for all IUSSW Blgtn faculty - two meetings so everyone could attend. "Building on the extensive research on stereotype threats (over 700 studies!) and their effect on students, we will work together to develop ways to address these in our social work classrooms. Dr. Mary Murphy, of IU Psychological and Brain Sciences, is a leader in this field and her work provides the foundation of the workshop. Using her research and workshop materials, we will work together to find ethical approaches to support students who face stereotype threats."
