Close Up Radio Spotlights Professor of Social Work Dr. Alice Kay Locklear
in Education
Red Springs, NC - John F. Kennedy famously said, “I’m concerned about the recklessness of public policy that endangers people’s lives, especially in minority communities, where crime often is such a scourge.” Professor of Social Work at the University of North Carolina at Pembroke, Dr. Alice Kay Locklear, cannot agree more.
Working through all levels of social work for over 20 years, Professor Locklear was challenged by individuals who did not really understand social work and the importance of ethics. “For example, when services were provided to clients with a dual diagnosis, let’s say substance use and a mental health diagnosis, that client could be assigned to two different professionals—one for substance use and another for mental health. This policy not only depletes resources, but it can also be confusing to clients,” explains Dr. Locklear. “The reason overlapping services and waste exists is because policy makers may not have a solid understanding of social work or ethical social work practices. Policy makers may tend to pay attention to financial considerations as they are mostly individuals with business focused degrees.”
As a member of the Lumbee tribe, Dr. Locklear is the first and only female Native American who holds a Ph.D. in her social work department.
Dr. Locklear serves as the NASW-NC Chair for Pembroke-Lumberton Local Program Unit and is a member of the National Association of Social Workers and serves on the NASW Board of Directors, Executive Board, and further serves on the National Committee on Racial and Ethnic Diversity.

Another Fork in the Road - Guest- Survivor, Rob Baugh, Podcast Host
in Education
Guest- Survivor, Rob Baugh, joins the show tonight to talk about how he is living with and adapting to his brain injury. Rob is the host of the podcast, Life Re-Wired: the Brain Injury Podcast.
Rob recently celebrated his 4-year anniversary of survival.
Every TBI survivor and caregiver has encountered a fork in the road that has diverted his or her life-plan. A car accident, a fall from the roof, doing one more chin-up, or a door literally slamming one in the face are just some causes of traumatic brain injury. College plans, walking down the aisle in the perfect dress, or the coveted job quickly slip from reality as dreams turn to struggle. These unexpected life-happenings that divert one from his or her chosen path in life can be devastating. But as Yogi Berra once said, "If you come to a fork in the road, take it." Life is all about choices! To learn more about me, please visit my blog and website.
