You’re not imagining it—social work is heavier than ever.
Social work burnout is real—and it’s not your fault.

But it doesn’t have to stay that way.

AI isn’t here to replace you. It is here to support you. With the right tools and training, you can save hours on repetitive tasks and in real scenarios like case notes, planning, and documentation, feeling more present in your work. We'll show you exactly how AI fits into your practice—clearly, step-by-step, and always grounded in our social work values.

How The AI Social Worker
Is Transforming Their Practice

— Renee M. Rawcliffe, LMSW Director of Continuing Education and Professional Development Adelphi University School of Social Work

“This training transformed our team’s understanding of AI in social work. Marina created a space where ethics, clarity, and curiosity could thrive—turning initial hesitation into confidence and meaningful application.”
— Jasmine Ramirez, Co-Founder the Latinx Collective

“Marina’s training gave us more than insight—it gave us tools. We left with a clear understanding of AI, a stronger ethical foundation, and practical resources to help us work smarter, not harder.”
— Education Program Manager, NASW North Carolina Chapter

“It’s rare to find a social worker with Marina’s level of expertise in AI. Her presentation was clear, engaging, and ethically grounded—helping our community move from skepticism to confidence with practical tools and real-world insight.”
— Collected through Anonymous Evaluation – AI Training

I came in skeptical about AI in social work—but left feeling curious, informed, and excited to explore the possibilities. The resources Dr. Badillo-Diaz shared were incredibly helpful.
— Collected through Anonymous Evaluation – AI Training

Dr. Badillo-Diaz was very informative and offered many helpful aids to learning and working with AI to make it useful in the care of our clients. I loved all the prompts asking to use AI to help create solutions. It was an exceptional training!
— Collected through Anonymous Evaluation – AI Training

I enjoyed the Chat GPT usage for SW notes.This was a very Interesting workshop. I've not even considered using this tool until now. The definition and types of AI was educational. I didn't know there were "types" of AI. I appreciated the live demonstrations. Security, confidentiality, and privacy need to be highly considered. Absolutely love the AI prompting guidebook.

Built by a Social Worker
—For Social Workers

After years on the front lines as a social worker, I knew something had to change. The passion was still there but the burnout, admin overload, and emotional weight were pushing me to the edge.

That’s when I found a new way forward.

I created The AI Social Worker to help others like me use AI tools with intention, not as a replacement for care, but as a way to protect it. This isn’t about tech for tech’s sake. It’s about saving time, reducing stress, and staying grounded in the reason you started this work in the first place.

This space is for values-driven social workers who want support that actually feels supportive—clear, ethical, and made for real life.
