@AnnetteZ_SW Georgia has already opened salons, spas, restaurants, and gyms. Bowling alleys, movie theatres, and small business are in the clear for opening too. I know Trump was unhappy with Georgia’s Governor for opening things as early as last Friday. Everyone stay safe!

@RhondaP15698905 @YouTube I’ve seen this video before, great retweet. Such an interesting and eye opening experiment. Privileged or not, many people still feel some level of pressure regardless of their background.

Extending aging out for foster care youth during COVID will ensure this population is safe with food, shelter, and caregivers. https://t.co/f9BduBjlZ1

@CGardner4 This is great information as Social Workers put so many lives before theirs. It is important to be safe for themselves, their clients, and community. Attending public health meetings will assure the knowledge of what precautions to take to ensure safety is practiced.

Mediation is highly recommend for Social Worker’s to practice to help with burn out and stress. It is also a helpful activity to introduce to clients. The Mindful Social Worker: How Mindfulness Can Help Social Workers Practice More Creatively https://t.co/jg7k2upTT4

@RhondaP15698905 Social workers are highly essential and with the expected rise in mental health needs, social workers are front line care for many individuals. They come in contact with individuals and families for protection, assistance, and provide necessary resources. Protection is needed!

[Tiffany De Souza @TDeSouzaSocWork]

@MegaSocialWorkr As social workers we would need to create awareness about safety during this time. Advocating for safety, our clients, and the communities. Being available to offer resources and assistance to people will help their fear, anger, and whatever other emotions they may feel.

[Tiffany De Souza @TDeSouzaSocWork]

@RhondaP15698905 This is a great article for bringing awareness to child abuse/neglect. The educators that see the children on a regular basis acts as a voice for children. It’s easily understood that an increase in child abuse/neglect is occurring. It’s reassuring that resources are available.

This podcast brings awareness to the elder population as isolation is enhanced to COVID-19. “Life comes to them” is a strong statement of realization. A phone call can stimulate the chemicals in the brain to help with isolation. https://t.co/CUNFItktQ0

[Tiffany De Souza @TDeSouzaSocWork]

@CGardner4 It’s so important for clients to be able to receive care, especially during this time of isolation. The fear and unknown of COVID-19 is enhancing mental and emotional stress. Tele therapy is needed to help continue offering care for the ones who need it.

Becoming a Social Worker May be similar as helping people is the core foundation. However, there’s more involved then just “helping people”. So much analyzing, evaluating, & ethical decision making. Why Did You Choose Social Work? | R.E.A.L. Social Workers https://t.co/vbtic26Kzl

This is a beautiful story of how a man used his experience in foster care. He didn’t have a safe and loving home growing up so he made sure to provide that for his sons as he knows that’s crucial. A Place to Call Home – Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption https://t.co/C6UiDhsUB4

What an incredible act of kindness! Thank you, @tylerperry for caring for our seniors and at-risk Georgians. You are an angel on earth! https://t.co/uuLVoEy4q3 #gapol

[Tiffany De Souza @TDeSouzaSocWork]

@paul_icatar This article is eye opening and I am glad you shared it. What an important message to shed light on race and poverty during COVID-19. Yes, everyone is a culprit during this time but everyone’s “struggle” isn’t a matter of similarities and differences. It’s a matter of survival.

[Tiffany De Souza @TDeSouzaSocWork]

@RhondaP15698905 This is a great topic to advocate for consistently, but especially right now. The more we advocate and offer assistance the more lives can be empacted by social workers, counselors, and therapists. People don’t have to face their challenges alone.

[Tiffany De Souza @TDeSouzaSocWork]

Social Workers are in position to keep themselves and clients safe during the Coronavirus. Tele therapy is becoming the new approach for communication between workers and clients. The NASW is standing by tele therapy so clients can still receive help. https://t.co/c8twbfxlkV

[Tiffany De Souza @TDeSouzaSocWork]

@KonesniM The connection is not the same over phone or video, but a video chat would be more beneficial so the relationship can still be gained by visually seeing one another. Social Workers must continue to do their best to assist clients during these hard and distant times.

[Tiffany De Souza @TDeSouzaSocWork]

@RhondaP15698905 75% of teens felt influenced to participate in behaviors seen from people on social media. Social media is an influencer itself. Parents need to be able to address every part of life that “influences” behaviors, habits, interest, etc. This article is interesting & important.

[Tiffany De Souza @TDeSouzaSocWork]

@AnnetteZ_SW Such an important issue to address. The reason for declines in reports is obvious during self isolation times. It’s important for communities to be aware of a child’s physical appearance and demeanor, same for parents. These children now have no voice against abuse and neglect.
