Q5: https://t.co/UfD8i4vyxO I think these 9 items are something that we all can start by doing. There is so much to be done but this is a great start to reduce the stigma against individuals with mental illnesses #macrosw #SUsocialwork

Q4: I want to raise awareness for the individuals with severe mental health issues. Currently there’s a negative stigma against psychiatric hospitals and mental illness’. I hope to find a way to help these patients succeed in life. #macroSW #SUsocialwork

A1: Seeing someone so close be touched by a social worker got my mind turning at first. After seeing the impact that social worker had on my best friend my mind was set. I wanted to be a social worker and touch others hearts the way she did to my friends. #MacroSW #SUsocialwork

SW is a unique profession with true meaning, action, & the power to make a difference. Social workers pull communities together, help individuals/families find solutions, change in social policy, promote social justice, & foster human & global well-being. #macroSW #SUsocialwork

The idea of popcorn with professors and other events is a great way to get the campus involved because it would allow us to come together as a whole and ask questions, become educated, and learn about topics we may not know a lot about. #susocialwork @DrAPOwens

I think it was so amazing to hear that the university is looking to implement classes based on minorities because educating others on race is so IMPORTANT!!! #susocialwork @DrAPOwens

@cestrohmeyer It’s also so terrible that people have to go to other countries just to be able to afford their medications that could save their lives #SUSocialSowk

Cities/states reeling from opioid deaths need to give serious consideration to setting up safe injection rooms, which could significantly reduce fatalities. These are places where a drug user can go to consume illegal drugs under the supervision of health workers. #SUsocialwork

It is great to see people still advocating for affordable health care because so many people don’t have health care at all! The numbers have drastically gone up. We need more people like this advocating for affordable healthcare as it impacts so many. #SUSocialSowk

After numerous attempts to sabotage people’s health care, the number of Americans without insurance has RISEN under the Trump Administration. I am working to make sure all Americans have access to affordable health care.
