Audiocassette Summary
Context: Interview with Bridget Moran for a Social Work class [UNBC?] with questions asked by instructor [Rosalie?] and individual students

Scope and Content:

• Interviewer asks what kept Bridget in social work? – “Not a profession but an addiction”
• Possibility of addiction to social work possibly contributed to the breakup of her marriage – “married a charming Irishman who could not keep his charm at home”
• Likes to take the pain of the job home
• Social work students sometimes afraid to get emotionally involved
• “translate your private concerns into public actions”
• Social workers have to be aware of First Nations culture
• Social workers need to a part of the society in which they are living; Bridget could relate because she was on welfare when she was a child
• Psychologically prepared for the repercussions of her social actions towards the W.A.C. Bennett government; Bridget notes her actions reflected the frustrations of the group of social workers in Prince George at the time – but that she didn’t involve anyone else – if it had it might have been more successful
• Important to provide a sense of empowerment to your social work clients
• Speaks about the response to her book A Little Rebellion
• Speaks about how the book Stoney Creek Woman was initiated by Mary John’s daughter Helen
• Speaks about how the inquest into the death of Coreen Thomas, inspired her to write Judgment at Stoney Creek
• Discusses her book about Justa Monk
• Native people can only “heal themselves through their own culture”
• Discusses her Writers Workshop series
• Re: Oath of confidentiality – ethical dilemmas for social workers - Didn’t mean to break her oath of office but because she did violate it [in the governments view] therefore felt she had to resign
