@Michellesw13 Mental health is such a big issue, so many people need more outlets to go with mental health issues. What are some of the ways SW can help be outlets for these folks.
@RRomo70 This is a great idea, I love the fact that there is an awareness surrounding PTSD and mental health. Let's support the troops who fought for our freedom and now are fighting a much bigger battle in their lives
@Michellesw13 I think this is a great idea, we do need to have more mental health awareness. The stigma that surrounds mental health is terrrible, we need to support these folks who are in this crisis area.
I have used social media throughout this semster to bring awareness to issues that many did not know about. I want to continue reaching out to people using social media to spread awareness and bring change. I want to be that light for someone who may need help
@cgomezsw2019 yes agreed Cassandra each case needs to be treated very carefully. Each perosn needs to be looked in an holistic manner and appraoched and treated very gently, no one really knows what they went through and we need to be mindful of that
https://t.co/O0UXAhs11m the signs and symptoms are all there , this article discusses some of the physical and sexual, and emotional symptoms that are all there when domestic violence occurs. Are you able to recognize all the symptoms?
@MeredithAsher1 great article Meredith that is such an interesting read but also very disturbing. I can't say it enough you really can't trust anyone anymore, this article goes to show how careful you have to be. I am sure this will not be the last of these landlords engaging in shady behavior,
@Michellesw13 This is a good policy, health insurance should be provided to everyone and it should not about cost. One day we won't have to worry about health insurance or rising costs.
@MeredithAsher1 I to this is such an important issue to me, not only personally but professionally as well. I will always find for anything that supports this bill
My policy for this semester was VAWA Violence Against Women’s Act the policies problems are women who have experienced domestic violence and the policy that states how they can be helped through this policy, in short this policy outlines bills an laws that help women
@RRomo70 @MeredithAsher1 agreed as social worke4s we need to be aware of all the issues in our communities and always be ready to respond there are so many people that need our help and sometimes do not know where to turn to ask or even look for that help
@MeredithAsher1 Human trafficking is such a huge deal, many times it happens right in our own neighborhoods and we don't see it, sometimes the victims are children and sometimes the victims are adults, this bill is very important to all of our lives.
@cgomezsw2019 What a great policy, DACA is so important and we as social workers must fight for this act to stay in effect, so many peoples lives will be threatened and many people will be put at risk.
Domestic violence: 'I was told to sleep in the outhouse' - BBC News https://t.co/vpUfTDf5b6 interesting article classmates your thoughts on domestic violence? How can we help these victims of domestic violence? How can we put in place prevention programs to help women ?
@beedle_jamie @Michellesw13 The peer pressure today’s youth face is literally overwhelming to them. These young adults not only have to face parents,schools,homework and sports but also the very real pressures of social media. How can we address this issue with our youth? How can we support our youth ?

Classmates, this is a good read. Teenagers are often quiet and most of the time do not tell us stuff that we need to know, how can we break this silence and let them know it is ok to talk and share their feelings. Your thoughts classmates?
@cgomezsw2019 Agreed Cassandra I have also noticed that some folks do not like to use these supports due to lack of money or resources to transport, are there other options for these folks? How can social workers help in this area? Some folks are to proud to ask for help, how can we support ?
Classmates these scams have been around forever, how do we educate our elderly population to use more caution when giving money away? What are some ways we can help protect our elderly from getting scammed? How do we let elderly know when a scam is going around? Your thoughts ?
