@OhioMedicaid I’ve heard a rumor that there are Parent Mentors (or coaches) that can be billed through Medicaid. I’ve tried every agency I can think of in Franklin County, but nobody is currently offering that service. Any chance this is a real & you have a provider list?

We have lost touch with our staff in Gaza, with health facilities, health workers and the rest of our humanitarian partners on the ground.

This siege makes me gravely concerned for their safety and the immediate health risks of vulnerable patients.

We urge immediate protection of all civilians and full humanitarian access.

We are so excited for #ShabbyStrong to begin a new adventure @thebuckeyeranch. So much gratitude for for the OG Team who has supported us over the past five years & for @TVillageNetwork, @NeuroSequential and @ThinkKids which have been lifesavers 💖 @BDPerry @stuartablon

All for self care, AND when advocacy and your own kid’s need overlap…. vacation #ShabbyStrong style. 💕💖 #MentalHealthisPublicHealth #OhioRise #OnOurSleeves

If you know me at all IRL, you know this was painful… but so worth it to raise awareness about the adolescent mental health needs in Ohio (and across the nation). #ShabbyStrong @pbsnewshour Thank you for advocating for our kiddos 💗

#ShabbyStrong got a sneaky grin & says “They no wash my plate. I throw away. Look, I have new color plate & cup now!” This kid. Her advocacy skills are on point…. She often uses her words, but when that’s not working, she finds another way. @BDPerry @stuartablon

1 in 3 women & girls experience physical or sexual violence in their lifetime.

Gender violence data is one of the topics on the table at this week's UN Forum on Gender Statistics, highlighting the importance of measurement to achieve a more equal 🌍. https://t.co/KJx0HJSjN0

International Overdose Day is a painful reminder to so many families across Ohio. As we mourn those we’ve lost and seek to help those struggling with addiction, we must keep working to #EndOverdose in our communities.

Yesterday, #ShabbyStrong told me a hard story & led the problem-solving. As we chatted, I thanked her for her patience & for her permission to use her story to help the other kids. She just beamed & says, “I so proud I help the all kids” @BDPerry @stuartablon @TVillageNetwork

Emergency safety proofing. Round one of removing access to items historically used for self-harm. Maybe there will be time to clean later 🥺

[Celeste Ferguson @CFerg7]

Tomorrow, it is expected that they will either force discharge of #ShabbyStrong or report me to Children’s Services. I am honored w/ the privilege of an amazing team & just the right moment in politics; maybe we can cause good trouble.

May we make the system better.

@mbheartlandbavx @BDPerry @stuartablon @NeuroSequential My first time… I stumbled CalEndow to find a quite place to hide out and work like I did every week- ironically prepping PD on trauma-informed instruction…. They were hosting a conference with BDP as a keynote. Talk about serendipity.

[Celeste Ferguson @CFerg7]

#ShabbyStrong: 21 days inpatient…. 3:00 p.m discharge 🎉 … 3:00 a.m back to ER…. Being transported to larger ER with ICU. @BDPerry Nobody understands what complex is doing to this kid like you do.

[Celeste Ferguson @CFerg7]

@samhsagov Our local team is working tirelessly to create a replicable trauma-informed, developmentally appropriate, and safe living environment for #ShabbyStrong by the end of summer. Open to any and all help you can provide.

In addition to being on the frontlines of land degradation and climate change impacts, women should also be at the forefront of global efforts to restore land back to health & boost drought resilience.
