@CressMikaylah I thought the importance of communities was the most important thing as well! That support is crucial for the members.

@abbi_sowk350 I agree! It was so important for us to begin to get comfortable with the behaviors of groups, communities, and organizations as we get closer to field work.

A big theme I took away from this class is learning about communities and their characteristics. This is crucial for social workers as they need to be familiar with the environment their client is in!

@abbi_sowk350 I agree! This is beneficial in our everyday lives as well as serving our clients.

@MadisonVitale2 I agree. It is important to understand the history. I think they are really cool to look at as well.

I learned about collecting census data this week! This will be beneficial in my social work practice as I can gather more information on different communities I work in and gain an idea of what issues need addressed.

Human trafficking is an issue around the world that needs attention. It is important for people to be aware of warning signs as well as become familiar with the issue.

My ideal geographic community would be a small community where everyone is close and supportive of one another as well as having schools, medical care, parks, etc. within close proximity.

@amccoy337 It is always so nice to have kids around your age to hang out with growing up!

[Lexy Evanto @EvantoLexy]

@gina_pisano I can definitely relate to this. My neighborhood growing up was super helpful as well!

[Lexy Evanto @EvantoLexy]

The neighborhood I grew up in was friendly, helpful, and fun. I didn't have many neighbors, but the ones I did have were all very supportive of each other. I was always playing and hanging out with neighbors who became close friends of mine.

@lexie88331736 Addiction is a very prevalent issue today. Great list.

[Lexy Evanto @EvantoLexy]

@AndreaMcComas22 I agree. Education is so important for everyone. Definitely an issue we all need to focus on.

[Lexy Evanto @EvantoLexy]

It's so important to make mental health an acceptable conversation. We need to take care of each other. Support, love, and acceptance are all key factors when it comes to improving mental health. It is important for social workers to be aware of these statistics!

#icantbreathe Reading about how whether people cooperate or not, whether they are armed or not, etc. they still get treated the same really puts into perspective how unfair this world is, and it is truly devastating.
