The Macro Social Work Mentor Podcast

Dr. Victor Manalo interviews macro direct practice social workers from all over the United States and shares what he has learned from over 30 years of his journey from MSW student to university professor and macro practitioner.

“Dr. Manalo’s macro courses have illuminated new pathways and galvanized me to wield clinical skills in diverse settings and have consistently reassured me that social workers certainly have a seat at every macro-setting table.”
