Hi all - I'm late to the party. I am working on applying to Rutgers MSW Program - Fully Online Option. I am working on my personal statement. How appropriate is it to take about self-care as I way to handle stress in the personal statement? I had a friend in a music PhD program review the statement and she said to exclude that kind of talk, but i imagined self-care would be a crucial component of a social work program and practice and thus would be okay to include. Any thoughts?
