We need more programs such as these! There are many youth who can benefit from rental assistance programs such as this. Multiple foster care children have no one to turn for help with housing when they reach adulthood. #SUsocialwork https://t.co/ByukJNMlO1

"I spent 545 days in the juvenile justice system due to lack of beds, housing, and placement options in the foster care system." #LostDays
In communities with a shortage of places to house children in foster care, youth may be placed in offices, churches, and youth prisons....

Let this be the start of actual justice that is defined by LAW no matter what color. If a crime is committed then people should be held accountable. So many families deserve justice in cases like this. #SUsocialwork

Give youth in foster care an opportunity to create their own future. Every conversation matters. Learn how to take advantage of every chance to listen, learn, and support. #ConversationsMatter #NationalAdoptionMonth https://t.co/jG3soggsE0

@RUNFORRESTERUN You are so right! All CHILDREN deserve the right to due process. It's unacceptable what happens to these children. #SUSocialWork

@DrSStanford1 Definitely a teaching moment for this youth! We can't miss out on teaching moments such as these in our schools. We have to look at the positive and impact our communities. EMPOWER our youth don't punish them! #SUSocialWork

@emilydoyleSU Thank you for sharing! So much time behind bars after making one decision that impacts the rest of their life. At 17, the Brain is still developing and long lasting effects follow long term imprisonment. #SUsocialwork

@BreanaFlemmings You are so right! Punishment is not a solution to the problem. Punishment only increases the problem. We need more programs to help these individuals. #SUsocialwork

[Sheenay Adams-Saunders @SheenayAdams]

So many people are trapped and are unsure about how to get out. We have to empower our communities about ways to break the silence! #SUsocialwork

Don’t let anyone silence you. You have the power to talk. Seek help if necessary, but break the silence. Freeing yourself is what you need to get on with the life you deserve. You are one step away from being free if you decide to speak up. #BrianLaundrie #domesticviolence

@MegMcCaskill_SU ABSOLUTELY! We often don't stop to think about how science, physical health and mental health all work together. We have to make some changes #SUsocialwork

[Sheenay Adams-Saunders @SheenayAdams]

Many people don't realize how our childhood experiences impact our lives as adults. When individuals have untreated childhood trauma it makes it hard for them in adulthood years. We need more empowerment in our communities #SUsocialwork

[Sheenay Adams-Saunders @SheenayAdams]

@Jessphelpss Absolutely! People should not have to worry about how much the bill will cost them when they actually have health care needs. Well said such a broken system. And such ashame for people how need Healthcare. #SUsocialwork

[Sheenay Adams-Saunders @SheenayAdams]

@PsyduckShan This is such a shame! More than just punishment can be offered. Have we thought about any changes that can be made for them before jumping to punishing them for something that they can not help? #SUsocialwork

[Sheenay Adams-Saunders @SheenayAdams]

@BreanaFlemmings I definitely agree! People hold on to things that are learned and taught as children. So many people are trapped on dangerous situations #SUsocialwork

[Sheenay Adams-Saunders @SheenayAdams]

Having a helping hand to reach our goals are so essential in reaching success in every aspect of our lives. Including mental health such as depression. Just having someone who will listen makes such a difference. #SUsocialwork

@SULillyWalton Many families struggled prior to receiving Child Tax Credit and it would definitely be an added benefit for financial burdened families if it became permanent. Children become stressed when parents are also stressed #SUsocialwork

[Sheenay Adams-Saunders @SheenayAdams]

We need more social workers in our schools to help identify mental health trauma experienced by our children today. There has been an increase in childhood trauma at home since COVID. We need more resources to help those affected. #SUsocialwork

[Sheenay Adams-Saunders @SheenayAdams]

@Jessphelpss I definitely agree! I work with children who suffer from mental health daily. The issues have definitely increased and has caused social anxiety, depression and many other diagnosis on top of what they already had going on before COVID. Children suffer daily. #SUsocialwork

[Sheenay Adams-Saunders @SheenayAdams]

It is essential that we provide resources in our schools for children who experience trauma. The pandemic has created an extensive amount of trauma experiences for our children today. #SUsocialwork
