I work in a grocery store and I have never seen the panic in individual’s along with this amount of greed. How do we establish consideration for other’s in this time of need? #SWK4999 #MacroSW

@MoneK2020 Your absolutely right, we’re going to conquer this. #MacroSW #SWK4999 #SWcovid19

Since the outbreak of the virus here in Michigan I have became extremely busy with every aspect of my life especially work. I have been asked to come in everyday and now they have giving us $2.00 increase in are pay until the end of April, however we’re at risk. #MacroSw #SWK4999

@JessicaMencia2 I believe that it can ultimately bring on depression especially for the individuals who live alone. #SWK4999 #MacroSW #SWcovid19

@MoneK2020 Great question, I know that schools and churches have formed together to provide meals for students daily along with homework packets. #MacroSW #SWK4999

@adriguillen68 I do not think it will be resolved anytime soon, I think it will get worse before it gets better. Sadly. #MacroSW #SWK4999

Q1. Does anyone believe that the corona virus has been brought in by the government as a step to get President Trump re-elected in the future?#MacroSW #SWK4999

Hello everyone my name is Laysha Cooks, I am a junior at University Of Detroit Mercy. My #SWK4999 class is apart of the discussion tonight. I can’t wait. #MacroSW

@AlyssaLotmore @OfficialMacroSW A5. The area I would like to stand up for is mother’s. Helping women to deal with postpartum depression. #MacroSW #SWK3100

[Laysha Cooks @CooksLaysha]

@my2angels9 Hey Ru,
I think that is a very good topic that should be addressed. There are so many young girls who are in abusive situations who needs help to escape that situation. #MacroSW #SWK3100

[Laysha Cooks @CooksLaysha]

@AlyssaLotmore @OfficialMacroSW A3. I use to believe of the generic typical view of social workers, and growing up often thought that they didn’t do very much. Now that I am on my journey to become a social worker, I now know that social workers have no limits. We are greatly needed. #MacroSW #SW3100

@lafonjl1 @AlyssaLotmore @OfficialMacroSW Hey Jennifer,
I really was touched about hearing your reasons behind being a social worker. I believe often at times are personal struggles is the fuel that allows us to help others. #MacroSW #SWK3100

[Laysha Cooks @CooksLaysha]

@AlyssaLotmore @OfficialMacroSW A1. What led me to becoming a social worker is my need to help people. Especially young women with children. I developed that need due to many situations I personally been involved in. #MacroSW #SWK3100

Hello everyone my name is Laysha, I attend University of Detroit Mercy. I will be responding to tonight’s twitter chat. #MacroSW #SWK3100

@nasw A5: As not only a SW, but a person, I have to acknowledge my privilege in order to respectfully advocate for issues that people of color face everyday. #MacroSW #SWK4999

[Laysha Cooks @CooksLaysha]

@nasw A5. We all need to be educated about what it means to truly have equal rights, and ask people of color what equal rights truly means to them. The beginning to this is to become educated. #MacroSW #SWK4999

[Laysha Cooks @CooksLaysha]

@nasw A4. By first taking the time to listen to our views to provide change and equal opportunity... support us and guide us in the direction to make an impact, whether it’s funding or different programs for us to strengthen are skills as social workers. #MacroSW #SWK4999

[Laysha Cooks @CooksLaysha]

@latriece_t Climate change is being taken as something that is not really happening and people choose to ignore it ... social workers can make an impact by making people really aware of climate change. #SWK4999 #MacroSW

[Laysha Cooks @CooksLaysha]

@lafonjl1 @nasw Good one Jennifer, that is a major issue that social workers need to be educated on and know how to control. #macrosw #SWK4999
