@SocialWorkShea It is so important to recognize that the community is evolving and how best to work with the transitions and changes they go through. #SOWK35021

[Anna Finch @anna_finch20]

@AndreaMcComas22 I agree it is important that as social workers we use local resources and help from the community itself. #SOWK35021

[Anna Finch @anna_finch20]

One big theme from this semester is how communities work together to improve and empower each other. #SOWK35021

[Anna Finch @anna_finch20]

@HunterTenney1 I also think it is a helpful tool to understand the resources available to clients. It also can work to allow us to see where resources may be needed. #SOWK35021

@MadisonVitale2 I also found rephotography interesting! I think it so interesting to see how communities have changed over time. #SOWK35021

[Anna Finch @anna_finch20]

I find photomapping to be the most exciting to use. It really shows the availability of resources in an area or lack thereof. I think it could be beneficial if you are unfamiliar with an area to better asses resources. #SOWK35021

@HannahJoMerrill It is unfortunate that racial injustices exist in the criminal justice system everywhere. I hope one day this will no longer be a common thing that happens in our world. #SOWK35021

@HaleyButcher15 I agree that financial status should not present a barrier to receiving the help they need. This article shows how poverty, for older women especially, is an issue everywhere not just in the US. #SOWK35021

[Anna Finch @anna_finch20]

Ageism is a problem not only in the US but everywhere. Every person regardless of age has the right to work and receive healthcare as well as be equal participants in social arenas. #SOWK35021

@Shawn_SOWK350 Being from Delaware too, I think you described these places well. Lewes and Rehoboth are definitely very contrasting despite being fairly close to each other. #SOWK35021

@Jacquel58028670 It is great that your neighborhood was safe and family friendly. I think those are strong aspects to have. #SOWK35021

[Anna Finch @anna_finch20]

I grew up in a neighborhood with a variety of housing such as single-family homes, apartments, and townhomes. It is unsafe (due to criminal activity), has low-income families, and is also near various resources like good schools, grocery stores, and parks. #SOWK35021

[Anna Finch @anna_finch20]

@Shawn_SOWK350 I think this topic is so important. Its great to see organizations who support and advocate for more diversity in businesses. #SOWK35021

[Anna Finch @anna_finch20]

@maryssa_kemm I think this is a great list! I think eating disorders are not talked about often enough in a supportive, non-stigmatized way. #SOWK35021

[Anna Finch @anna_finch20]

Caregivers experience added challenges and stress. I think it is important to create a place caregivers can find resources and tips to help them. #SOWK35021 https://t.co/AaOPi9d5mJ

I think this infographic on elder abuse is extremely important as we can look out for the signs and report it when working with groups. #SOWK35021

[Anna Finch @anna_finch20]

@maryssa_kemm I think this infographic truly brings to light how many experience a eating disorder as well as the mental health disorders that are associated with them. #SOWK35021

[Anna Finch @anna_finch20]

@AbbrielleSavage I agree that many of us don't realize how common it is and how to address it either, such as the meditation at the end of the infographic. #SOWK35021

[Anna Finch @anna_finch20]

@Jacquel58028670 I think the characteristic of visionary is very important. Its amazing to see the first Black sheriff in Wyoming! I am sure he will do amazing things. #SOWK35021

[Anna Finch @anna_finch20]

@kay51894683 Attitude is definitely an important aspect. Without a positive attitude, it is unlikely others will want to complete tasks the leader has established. #SOWK35021
