Tomorrow is National Adoption Day! Each year the Saturday before Thanksgiving this day raises awareness for those in foster care! This day focuses on finding children homes with loving families! Many courts participate as well, finalizing several adoptions each year! #344macro
@alaynamdaniels Yes! As the holidays approach this is such a great reminder for a lot of people, especially the people pleaser types, need to keep in mind and it’s a concept that so many often forget is even an option! Stand up for yourself and take control of how your energy is being used💗
@ryan_strege Yes!! I think it’s very important that we as social workers keep this in mind. Someone may be seeing you for the first time in their teens years or even later adult stages of life but they could have imprints of trauma and/or wounds that started at a very young age. #344macro
@ryan_strege Yes! This population needs someone like you to advocate for them! So glad that you are interested in this! Let’s work to break the stigma! #344macro
Ryan, These values definitely play a huge role in all levels of social work! Great use of a tweet, to educate those about the values of our future profession! #344macro
It’s world adoption day! Within my career in social work I want to be an advocate for older individuals in the foster care system and raise awareness for those courageous birthmothers! As for today, let’s celebrate that DNA doesn’t make a family but love sure does! ❤️#344macro
On World Adoption Day, AAPLOG salutes those courageous birth mothers who chose life for their children. Consider contacting local adoption agencies that can give interested patients more information on adoption choices.
This! Make sure you’re treating yourself fairly! We value the dignity & worth of all people, including ourselves! I think often those in social work tend to belittle their own personal struggles or make themselves numb to what they’re feeling. #344macro thanks @hatrgrl for this!
Sexual assault risk is higher on and around Halloween! Stay safe out there! Be mindful of your surroundings and look out for those in your community. A costume can hide who one is on the inside and outside (outer appearance can be altered). #344macro
College students and mental health, the silent campus crisis! This problem is real and it affects this population and those connected in a HUGE way!! Reach out, get help, change the statistics, and stop the stigma! #344macro
