@MaryBethO_ This made my day, Mary Beth! I will forward this to my students so they can message you. I am truly grateful for you and your willingness to help!

Please help my great #socialwork students! Anyone work at a #recovery center using #harmreduction or #safeinjection strategies? Students in my #addiction course are creating a mini-documentary on harm-reduction practices and would love to interview people in this area!

[Anthony Campbell, PhD, MSW @CampbellSOC]

Also, are there any harm-reduction advocates in Alabama who would be willing to discuss the challenges of such programs in the state?

[Anthony Campbell, PhD, MSW @CampbellSOC]

They have received only NO's from their requests so far. I suggested that perhaps they will have to be more expansive and consider #Canada #Portugal #Netherlands or other European countries. Basically, they just want to hear about the benefits of harm-reduction programs.

[Anthony Campbell, PhD, MSW @CampbellSOC]

@Haggis_Tamer @AcademicChatter Ha! My horoscope suggests I should be patient in my efforts. Thanks for the thought!

Overdose deaths have skyrocketed in Alabama, driven in large part by fentanyl. Some in Alabama are trying to make lifesaving tools like naloxone more readily available.

Random ? for social workers - Is the Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) routinely used in assisted living residences or is it specific to use with nursing home residents? #cognitive #dementia #assistedliving #SocialWorkTwitter

Here’s to a great Year 5! @AuburnU @AUsocialwork

@laurelhitchcock @UAB_CAS Ha! Same here. Very important task!

If you ever feel alone in Alabama as a progressive who just wants everyone treated with respect and dignity, read through the replies here.

[Anthony Campbell, PhD, MSW @CampbellSOC]

@DrBuys @bjbensaid @SouledOut_11 @MHFirstAidUSA This is all great. Very important work. Congratulations to all!

[Josh Moon 🇺🇸 @Josh_Moon]

I sincerely hope now that she will never again face a far right challenge that @GovernorKayIvey will expand Medicaid and use it to expand mental health services, and general health care, across Alabama. With the proliferation of guns here & our lack of services... don't wait.

[Anthony Campbell, PhD, MSW @CampbellSOC]

@NoLieWithBTC As expected. No one is surprised.

[American Psychiatric Association @APApsychiatric]

People with mental illness are more likely to be the victims of violence than perpetrators, but mass shootings are often incorrectly associated with psychiatric illnesses. https://t.co/xSS0MqOmBl

Evil is not mental illness!

In the aftermath of the horrific #uvaldetx shooting #NASW once again implores Congress to pass sensible gun laws. "This moment must be the tipping point," NASW CEO Angelo McClain said. Read our full statement to learn how you can take action: https://t.co/8nctOOttuv

[Anthony Campbell, PhD, MSW @CampbellSOC]

Here in Alabama, @GovernorKayIvey has issued a similar mental health explanation for school shootings. It is an easy scapegoat because people often fear mental illness bc they don’t understand it. Governor Ivey just prepare for a different explanation when a tragedy happens here.

[Anthony Campbell, PhD, MSW @CampbellSOC]

Just watched a clever PR press conference on the #UvaldeMassacre with @GregAbbott_TX and others deflecting from the real issue of guns to #mentalhealth Well-planned PR to blame mental illness although Abbott mentioned there was no know hx of mental illness.

[Anthony Campbell, PhD, MSW @CampbellSOC]

Also Abbott said that he had worked to pass 17 bills meant to “harden” schools and hold them accountable for assessing threats. We just witnessed there is not much an elementary school can do to know about this threat in advance. I’m not saying ban guns but ban assault rifles.
