Check out my last post for an article on the school to prison pipeline and the affects it has on minority students.

How do Zero Tolerance Policies push children into the School-to-Prison pipeline? #SWTech #SLWK791 #ZeroTolerance #SchooltoPrisonPipeline #EdEquity

@AkeiyaTucker Yes! LinkedIn has really helped me recently looked for and apply for jobs! #SLWK791

[J. Simone @JesslynPope]

A5. Professionally social media has allowed me to connect with a network of individuals/organizations whom I otherwise would have never known about. It has connected me with jobs in the social work field as well. #SLWK791

[J. Simone @JesslynPope]

@JerrontayJ @StevaraClark Same! I also have used it to connect with individuals in macro social work since I'm on the clinical track. I wanted to know more about the macro side of social work and the jobs that come with it. #SLWK791

@bradley_topper @social_tyler @StevaraClark I just did a project on PTSD and the benefits of VR. I was totally surprised because I assumed the exposure to their triggered event would harm the individual more. This is why it is important to stay knowledgable of different interventions!

A4. This blog below outlines the importance of boundaries within the social media world

@StevaraClark A4. Social media will always be in our reach. Whether on our phones, computers or even broadcasted on t.v. I don't think there is really a way to avoid whats going on in the "social media" world. One just has to know their limits and adhere to them. #SLWK791

[J. Simone @JesslynPope]

@kaijamsw Agreed! I think that breaks from social media are much needed for ones mental health! #SLWK791

[J. Simone @JesslynPope]

@LaurenE51197119 Yes for sure! I think that agencies should continue to give clients the option to do in person or telehealth. #SLWK791

[J. Simone @JesslynPope]

A3. Thanks to COVID 19....Continuing to incorporate telehealth looks like the future for social work :) #SLWK791

[J. Simone @JesslynPope]

A3. After completing a project last week on PTSD, I learned about Virtual Reality and its benefits for individuals who suffer from this disorder. Check out this article below! #SLWK791

@kaijamsw Great article! A client would for sure need to have enough awareness in the group to know when it is not benefiting them anymore #SLWK791

[J. Simone @JesslynPope]

A2. I see both possible risk and benefits from a social worker encouraging a client to utilize social media support groups. While some groups have strict guidelines, others may not. Possible harming the clients progress in treatment. #SLWK791

@AnnmarieW_ @StevaraClark I agree yes we have freedom of speech but there needs to be a line drawn especially on social media #SLWK791

[Anna @AnnmarieW_]

@StevaraClark A1: Yes, I believe social media companies should censor hate speech. As Americans, we do have freedom of speech, which may contradict the censor. However, if you have a platform to make the world a better place in a culturally sensitive climate, why not? #SLWK791

[J. Simone @JesslynPope]

A1. Being that social media platforms are private companies, I believe that they should and can censor what people post on their websites. #SLWK791
