[OASW @ON_SocialWork]

Student absenteeism is rising and #SocialWorkers can help. Today @deepy_sur broke down the numbers with @spaikin: 4,800 Ontario schools and under 1,000 school social workers. That's why we're asking government to fund one social worker per school to improve student mental health

Social work practice…when action meets compassion…exists change. I can’t think of a profession more challenging yet fulfilling, rewarding and humbling all at the same time. Wishing my dedicated colleagues a very happy National Social Work month!

You can be prepared. Before starting a conversation on identity and gender expression, it can be helpful to have the facts. Brush up on your knowledge of more inclusive terminology. https://t.co/qxw0ApeF4E

It was believed that “silent synapses” were present only during early development. This promising study reveals that (in adult mice) 30% of all synapses in the brain’s cortex are silent & remain inactive until they are required for learning new information & forming new memories.

[Neuroscience News @NeuroscienceNew]

The adult brain contains millions of "silent synapses", or immature connections between neurons that remain inactive until they are required for learning new information and storing new memories.
