@Kentuckyweather Literally! It got so dark outside in Berea about 5 min ago that I had to make sure we weren’t having severe weather. Our siren situation has changed recently so I worried I was missing something.

@jsmithwx This is so sweet!!

I’m proud to introduce the More Social Workers (MSWs) in Libraries Act. This bill will create a grant program that places social work interns and qualified social workers in our public libraries.

@WillieETCarver Ugh that kills me. I guess to some, “worldly” morals, values, and ethics don’t matter when you can claim the blood of Christ.

[Kaylie Padgett, MSW, CSW @SWKayliePadgett]

@WillieETCarver Generally if they’re a Christian, or have posted a single thing about John 3:16 on their social media, that somehow “cancels out” anything else they do.

Also applies to children in therapy as well. Their little brains are struggling.

“Post-COVID” students are different. If you haven’t been teaching in a classroom in the last 3 years, you don’t understand. Please listen to teachers.

[Natalie, MS, LPC @kneadtotalk]

So many people who work in mental health know nothing about eating disorders. It’s really scary.

Hey beginning therapists 👋

What books have you read recently that you would recommend to seasoned therapists?

[Kaylie Padgett, MSW, CSW @SWKayliePadgett]

@silasdhouse Always. Even though it’s mainly the kitchen and dining room for our family.

We often frame “getting your nails done” as a relaxing activity but that couldn’t be farther from the truth

[Kaylie Padgett, MSW, CSW @SWKayliePadgett]

@Brown3yes_Chris Not even weird. I've only ever had LCSW’s

[Kaylie Padgett, MSW, CSW @SWKayliePadgett]

@ShannonSevigny Lampoons and Home Alone!!

[Kaylie Padgett, MSW, CSW @SWKayliePadgett]

@georgiethehypno I think it's case by case for me. If it’s something that I’m emotionally invested in, I’m definitely going to think with my feelings.

[Kaylie Padgett, MSW, CSW @SWKayliePadgett]

@clairedavieLMFT I made Notion boards for in-depth televison show watching and to keep track of “my shows” (I sound like my Mamaw lol).

My husband said it doesn't get more neurodivergent than that.

Kids know more about their needs than we give them credit for. They can clue us into pieces of their experience that we may not see.

[Alix @alixandra27]

Can we just *try* asking children and teenagers what will make them less stressed and what will make school better for them then proceed accordingly or no.

[Kaylie Padgett, MSW, CSW @SWKayliePadgett]

6 weeks away from getting my MSW, and all I can think about is, “do I want a Ph.D. next?”
