Please, please, please don’t lessen mental health to make it small when it is such a large-scale issue. Take care of you so you can take care of others! #SocWorkUAB #mentalillness #mentalhealth #awareness

With all the talk about sexual assault within the media the past month, I thought I would share this just in case someone needs it. #metoo #sexualassaultawareness #SocWorkUAB

[Gaby Towery @GabyTowery]

I just completed an assignment that discussed empathy vs. sympathy. Sympathy is when you feel bad for someone. Empathy is when you put yourself if that person’s shoes and feel what they feel. As social workers, it is vital we know how to empathize with our clients. #SocWorkUAB

@JoshuaWinslett I will need to buy one from you for sure!

Such a great read! My fellow social workers and social work students, please take a look at this. #selfcareisthebestcare #youcomefirst #SocWorkUAB

September is #SuicidePreventionMonth. Read more on how to become aware of the common warning signs and resources on how to get help.

@courtneykiing That number is way too high!! We must advocate for what we believe in and we believe that no child should have to suffer from sexual abuse. Know the signs and be a mandated reporter! #endchildhoodsexualabuse #SocWorkUAB

@newsocialworker @spcummings @karenzgoda @BSCorbettLLC @OfficialMacroSW @socworkpodcast @EBelluomini @CRISPontheHill @DrAngelaShenell @epflcswccm @DrGriseOwens I love this quote! It is important to remember that no work is too small. Social workers sometimes feel like their interventions are not enough, but that is so far from the truth. Some work is better than no work. Some change is better than no change. #SocWorkUAB

[Gaby Towery @GabyTowery]

@EBelluomini Your article advocating for technology assessments for families is outstanding! I could not agree more about the points you discussed. It is vital for families to look at all aspects of their life, including time spent using technology during sessions! #SocWorkUAB

[Gaby Towery @GabyTowery]

I found this post to be so important! Self-care is CRUCIAL for anyone in any profession. Social workers, please remember to take care of yourself, too! #SocWorkUAB

Happy #LaborDay from @MentalHealthAm! ☀️ #MentalHealth in the workplace matters, and allowing employees time for #selfcare should be a priority for all employers.

@AngelScarborou1 The children who are silent are often the ones suffering the most. Don't allow them to suffer in silence. Know the signs! #EndChildAbuse #SocWorkUAB

[Gaby Towery @GabyTowery]

@MiraSorvino @EqualRightsAdv @SenJanetNguyen @L2ChangCA @SenatorPatBates @JeanFuller CA, 1 year is not enough! Survivors of sexual harassment and abuse deserve an extension to file a claim. The effects of abuse are far too damaging to the victims. No one should be rushed to make a decision to fight against their attacker. #AB1870 #SocWorkUAB

Not many people realize it, but mental health in the geriatric community is a big deal. The rates of suicide among this population of people are astronomical. We need to bring this to attention and raise awareness for the generation before us. #suicideawareness #SocWorkUAB
