Sound familiar?
Your workday keeps changing faster than your plan can hold.
You begin with a reasonable plan. Then the call comes in, a visit moves, transportation cancels, a youth escalates, or a deadline changes without warning.
- Everything feels urgent, even when it is not equally important.
- Commitments live in your notes, inbox, calendar, and memory at the same time.
- You are expected to make responsible decisions before you have the full story.
- You work hard all day and still leave feeling like nothing is finished.
- You are technically home, but your brain is still holding the work.
This does not mean you are disorganized or that you do not care enough. It means the work requires a system built for change.

Your instructor
Dr. Autumn King
Dr. King brings experience in foster care, social work education, workforce development, and training. Her work is grounded in the realities child welfare professionals face when the day changes faster than a traditional plan can hold.
She built Child Welfare Workday Reset to offer a practical, repeatable way to decide, contain, clarify, and close without pretending the work itself will become predictable.
The goal is not to make the work smaller or promise a perfect day. It is to help you build a system that can hold the day when the day changes.Dr. Autumn King
