@BreanaFlemmings I couldn’t agree more!! It’s often the trauma that lead to substance abuse and we need to understand that it should be treated like a medical condition not stigmatized #SUsocialwork
With how high demand the job can be, we need to make sure that those who help our communities are being taken care of. This is a difficult profession, and taking care of our social workers will keep them working their best https://t.co/yDF30M0dFQ

The 4 levels of racism help us to understand how racism is perpetuated in our society. In what ways can we use ourselves to eradicate racism? #SUsocialwork#AntiRacism#ASSW https://t.co/u5I1lcQaX8

Misconceptions about Social Workers:
1. We don’t make money
There are 6, 7 & 8 figure Social Workers who have earned that within our field.
2. Social Work is only for women
Our boys need men to relate to. Our men need men to connect with
@madison_brunett @MaryeHylton Yaaaaaad Madison! I struggle with this personally and finding resources can help others who may not know about SAD! When a Dr can prescribe a sun lamp I’d say it is a very real medical condition, not just “winter blues” #SUsocialwork
@emilydoyleSU This hits so close to home. I always think about how this impacts my brothers! Both are a part of the gay community. Thank you for sharing Emily!
It absolutely breaks my heart that innocent lives were lost because of a system meant to save them failed. We need to do better #SUsocialwork https://t.co/WhZDIe3JmI
