Social work is more than a profession; rather, it’s a calling rooted in empathy, advocacy, and service. But what does it really mean to be a social worker in Belize today?
In the first episode of The Galen Eagle Podcast, host Dr. Kristcha DeGuerre, Mental Health Counselor and MSW Program Coordinator at Galen University, sits down with two Belizean professionals who live the values of social work every day: Ms. Azalia Larrieu, Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist, LCSW, Founder of META Belize Mind & Body Wellness, and Ms. DeAnn Buckley Mcfadzean, MSW, Youth Empowerment Planner at the Department of Youth Services.
Together, they explore the heart of social work, what motivates them, how they support communities, and how the field continues to evolve in Belize. The discussion touches on the realities of helping others, the importance of self-care for professionals, and the vital role social workers play in promoting mental health, youth empowerment, and community resilience.
Produced by Galen University, The Galen Eagle Podcast features discussions on a wide range of topics relevant to the university and the broader community, including social work, education, student life, athletics, and technology.
