This article states that "Companion animals not only boost self-esteem, but also provide empathy, initiate social encounters and serve as substitute or additional family members." This article is a must read! @bmiller21502 #ThePowerOfPets #LoveMyFurbabies #SUsocialwork

It is so important that social workers get a insightful perspective on trauma! I love that there are virtual forums of presentations that allow for social workers to continue their knowledge even after finishing school. Knowledge is power! @bmiller21502 #SUSocialWork

This article was a good read! I always say pain shared is pain spared. It helps me heal by sharing my personal story with others who need help healing. A mental illness does not define you. #iHavePTSD #MeToo #SUsocialwork @bmiller21502

This is amazing! It is so important that we start implementing mental health education materials especially in schools. The videos displayed on the site were made in a way that is very easy to understand and learn about differnet mental illnesses. #SUSocialWork #bmiller215102

We are working together with @PsychHub_ed to provide free, engaging, best-in-class #mentalhealth education materials. Check out our hub of videos and topics here: [https://t.co/cRvER1j9x8]

One social worker speaks on how she is a social worker on a inpatient psychiatric unit and meets with the team of care coordinators, psychiatrists, doctors and nurses. Shestates "being a social worker there I am able to identify their needs differently."

[Crystal maus @crystalmaus0723]

It so awe inspiring to see these social work scholars educating lawmakers about improved access to health care whether its physical or mental. @bmiller21502 #SocialWorkHEALS #SUSocialWork

[@alexiscavey @alexiscavey1]

Any individual, regardless of where they work, should feel empowered enough to speak out against unfair treatment. How can social workers continue to fight for this cause? #SUSocialWork @bmiller21502

There is a huge stigma associated with taking antidepressants and that needs to change. If someone has something wrong with them like being sick or getting hurt, they take medication. Why should mental illness be any different? #SUSocialWork #bmiller215102 #EndTheStigma

[Rethink Mental Illness @Rethink_]

There should be no shame or stigma attached to taking antidepressants. If you want to find out more about what it's like to take antidepressants then take a look at our fact sheet here > https://t.co/8TxcUTIu8e

This article is very insightful. Mental illness does not discriminate. Not every disability is visible. #EndTheStigma #SUSocialWork #bmiller215102

"Mental illness is different for everyone. People’s problems should not be dismissed just because they don’t present them in the typical form that we expect."

Caitlin talks about how we can help to reduce the stigma around mental health problems. https://t.co/jVtb8ZRElm

The young woman in the article states "I was quite young, when I started to develop what I know now was anxiety and depression, it got passed off as just hormones and stress of exams." #EducateYourself #selfcare #bmiller215102 #SUSocialWork

“Don’t sacrifice your own mental health for somebody else’s. To be able to help somebody you love, you need to be able to feel well enough in yourself to give your all to the person you are looking after.”

The policy director for the NAMI believes that "new investments in child mental health services likely will result in higher graduation rates, lower incarceration rates and reduced spending for health care and social services." #MentalHealthMatters @bmiller21502 #SUSocialWork

This is awesome! Steven Tyler is opening a facility for girls who have been abused. This is something we definitely need more of.

Considering today's society utilizes social media, it is extremely important to look into the digital dating abuse among adolescents. As social workers, it will be something we will have to take into consideration while working with adolescents. #SUsocialwork #bmiller21502

Sean Erreger suggests that social workers who work with teens should take into consideration of the effect social media has on them when it comes to cultural competency. And, as social workers we should develop a better understanding. #SUsocialwork #bmiller21502
