@agottshall1 Hi Amanda, I agree! This skill will be very useful, I am glad to have that experience, given that I plan on writing grants in the future! #SOWK35021

@leahchen21 Hello Leah, I agree! I find it useful to review organizational theories in our practice with clients. Although important to realize there is no one proper way of leadership, theories help provide us a palette to choose from. #SOWK35021

@abbi_sowk350 Hi Abbi, I agree. The human-in-environment perspective is so important to properly help clients. We cannot truly help the individual if we do not advocate for change on the levels that the person interacts with. #SOWK35021

[Hunter Tenney @HunterTenney1]

I think two overarching themes include the roles of Social Workers in the organizational world, including interactions with clients, other workers, and macro-level skills. Another theme is human behavior in organizations, communities, and neighborhoods. #SOWK35021

@Nicoletteswk350 Yes! Anna was saying the same thing! Over the years, I realized that confrontation is not only normal, but healthy and can deepen bonds. I love that Dr. Hash gave us scripts to follow when going into a confrontation. #SOWK35021

[Hunter Tenney @HunterTenney1]

@Annapalindrome1 Agreed! Disagreements can be tough to navigate no matter what side (if any) you’re on! Having a simple script to get the conversation going sure makes things easier! #SOWK35021

@leahchen21 Agreed! I actually did a nature photo mapping project at my old college where I took a photo three times weekly of a set of trees during the fall session. The change was really cool. #SOWK35021

[Hunter Tenney @HunterTenney1]

This week I learned how to use Google Maps to photomap a community. I believe as emerging practitioners it is crucial to be aware of the human services in an area to best held clients. I believe this is a tool I will use in my professional practice! #SOWK35021

@Annapalindrome1 This post immediately reminded me of the horrific treatment of immigrants near our southern border, where families were broken up during the Trump administration. Public perception and education on the experiences of these people individuals are still very much needed. #SOWK35021

[Hunter Tenney @HunterTenney1]

@kay51894683 Homelessness is a saddening occurrence, one that is further worsened by the stigmatization of homeless individuals as vagrants. Although strides have been made in public perception over the last 100 years, much work is still needed to alleviate the causes. #SOWK35021

@Evdokia2323 The article is right, the pandemic has highlighted many of the service gaps for women-centric services to other services. For example, they highlight the difference in domestic violence support compared to the lack of support for other kinds of violence. Great point! #SOWK35021

[Hunter Tenney @HunterTenney1]

Global warming is an issue that has increasingly become visible. In this article by National Geographic, they explain how global warming works and the threat it poses to human life. Consider the worthy of a human life in the face of capitalism.#SOWK35021 https://t.co/Z0tyfUYEqa.

@Nicoletteswk350 Hello Nicolette, it sounds like you enjoyed the suburban life that is so characterized in American cultures. I often wondered what it would be like to be in an integral neighborhood with adequate resources. #SOWK35021

[Hunter Tenney @HunterTenney1]

@leahchen21 Brekenridge sounds like a quaint community, functioning as a strong social arena including a school system. My early school years took place in a school several neighborhoods from mine. Until next time! #SOWK35021

[Hunter Tenney @HunterTenney1]

I grew up in a small rural neighborhood, though many in my community would call it a “holler”. I would define it as laid-back, traditional, and scenic. #SOWK35021

@abbi_sowk350 Abbi! What a terrific list! This is a list that provides some of the world’s leading organizations combatting food hunger! I was particularly interested in the UN food program and the college student combatting hunger on her campus! #SOWK35021

[Hunter Tenney @HunterTenney1]

@leahchen21 You have 4 strong advocacy groups centered in multiple countries, and a leading national advocacy group here in the states! Overall a great list, thank you! It is pinned!! #SOWK35021

[Hunter Tenney @HunterTenney1]

@lexie88331736 Hello! This list provides multiple groups ranging from a local support group, non-profit centered in a state, as well as two national level non-profits. I have pinned the list, thank you! #SOWK35021

[Hunter Tenney @HunterTenney1]

In honor of Women’s History Month, here is a list for women’s rights and advocacy groups and figures. Take a second to look at the list and pin it if you like. #SOWK35021 https://t.co/cZ7KsU9Ozl

@leahchen21 As an organization, it just makes sense to put appropriate measures against harassment and discrimination in the workplace before these discriminatory practices ruin the business’s reputation, financials, and most importantly, their worker’s safety and growth. #SOWK35021
