@lng0007 i agree! i think this class really showed me as well just how beneficial it is to get involved and work closely with the community in order to be the best social worker we can be #SOWK35021

[Grace Connell @GraceConnell17]

@tesscongo i agree Tessa, i think learning about how important these relationships are with groups and communities is a huge part of social working #SOWK35021

[Grace Connell @GraceConnell17]

A big idea I took away from this class is how important it is to know about the community you are working with, such as the community resources that are available.i also took away from this class important it is to engage with the community as a whole #SOWK35021

@mav0012 @anna_finch20 i agree i think as social workers it is important to use tools like photo mapping in order to help your client as best you can #SOWK35021

@ashley_78938 Hi ashley! i agree i think its super interesting when your looking at the history of a place and using rephotography to see what it looked like in the past #SOWK35021

[Grace Connell @GraceConnell17]

the last week i have learned how to get data from the census bureau and how to apply it to my work. i thought it was really interesting knowing you can find so much information about communities on there website. #sowk35021

@Jacquel58028670 i agree 100% that we need to focus on the rainforest along with the rest of the earth before its to late because without the rainforests and oceans etc. human life well wont be very sustainable . #SOWK35021

@maryssa_kemm hi maryssa! i think it is important for us to rememberer and know that although we have started vaccinating people like many other countries. there are so many more countries that are just now or not even gotten any vaccination at all. #SOWK35021

throughout the pandemic we have seen the impact that quarantining and isolation can have on everyones mental health. this article goes into the high numbers across the globe of people with depression and anxiety since the pandemic has hit. #sowk35021 https://t.co/pEHsrEsaGM

@maryssa_kemm i think its really cool to live in a place where everyone knows everyone. its nice to know when something happens in the neighborhood everyone will come help out. #SOWK35021

@FialaKendra i grew up in NY and the pictures you attached i honestly thought it was my town for a second, i lived close to the water too i think that is one of the best parts of growing up there! #SOWK35021

[Grace Connell @GraceConnell17]

the neighborhood that i grew up was a very typical suburban neighborhood a lot of the people that grow up there stay or come back there and live there with there own families. three adjectives to describe it are busy, established, and fun. #sowk35021

@KileyMcCoy47 this is a great list that i don't think at least anyone else in the class did. it is very informative to see who is out there advocating for veterans affairs. #sowk35021

[Grace Connell @GraceConnell17]

@AbbrielleSavage #sowk35021 i thought this was a really great and informative list. these organizations on your list are doing a great job advocating and bringing awareness to sexual assault and violence across the globe.

[Grace Connell @GraceConnell17]

These are some great organizations i found advocating for mental health #SOWK35021

@klassic2000 i thought this infographic was super interesting and something that is super important to remember when you are working within groups. i think its important to remember that not everyone feels or acts out there emotions the same. #SOWK35021

[Grace Connell @GraceConnell17]

@gina_pisano i thought this infographic was really interesting. it does a great job explaining what is important when working with groups. #SOWK35021

[Grace Connell @GraceConnell17]

#SOWK35021 i found an info graph that talks about addiction and what types of support groups can help them. this relates to Macro practice because it shows different types of support groups that are available to help people who are struggling with addiction.

@sowk350 i agree i think remembering these five C's will help you be a great leader and reach the goals that the team has set #SOWK35021

[Grace Connell @GraceConnell17]

@Evdokia2323 #sowk35021 i agree i think all three of these skills are very important for a group leader to have in order for them and there team to be successful.
