New publication alert! This systematic review was probably the hardest article I EVER worked on! Shoutout to co-author @DrBMBrawner for giving me that final push ❤️ and to my former student @ashlizarraga on her FIRST publication! 🎉

Recommendations for a solid (but affordable) online #MSW program? I have a family member considering joining the field! 🥳 #socialwork

[Melissa Yost LCSW @healcomplexptsd]

@SheIsLyfe8 Seeing this too. Lots of push to get that unresolved stuff resolved. It's a barrier to a fulfilled life for sure. EMDR combined with talk therapy is what's helping a lot of my clients.

@macdoin @stuboo ^^this!

Guidance counselors do not have even close to the same clinical skill set or ethical guidelines as #socialworkers. School districts need to stop thinking they have #mentalhealth covered in schools simply by having guidance counselors. https://t.co/g0lniAxe0N

@IamWalkerT @SatterwhiteMSW @KultureWorker @Brbhealth @gerald_joseph90 @MrsDocJones @TripleThreat_MD @AngelaMSWinCA @BlackInMH @SocialWorkDesk @JustinSHarty @AsherBlackdeer @montrobia Likewise @IamWalkerT! Literally, on our darkest day, this little guy showed up randomly in our yard (we live in the woods)... stayed for a month or so, like some kind of spirit guide to let us know things will get better.
Keep your eyes open, my friend! Love is everywhere💖

@timkelly369 I'm sorry for your loss. I lost my uncle to AIDS in 1988.

@Brbhealth @IamWalkerT @SatterwhiteMSW @KultureWorker @gerald_joseph90 @MrsDocJones @TripleThreat_MD @AngelaMSWinCA @BlackInMH @SocialWorkDesk @JustinSHarty @AsherBlackdeer @montrobia Is there any other way to be these days??

[Melissa Yost LCSW @healcomplexptsd]

@ThatTraumaSW This is a serious problem! Districts need to step up PREVENTION and TRAINING for staff and not just hand kids off to higher levels of care without that full assessment. 🥺

@IamWalkerT @SatterwhiteMSW @KultureWorker @Brbhealth @gerald_joseph90 @MrsDocJones @TripleThreat_MD @AngelaMSWinCA @BlackInMH @SocialWorkDesk @JustinSHarty @AsherBlackdeer @montrobia Wearrrrry, but determined. Have just come back from a SM break due to family challenges. Taking one day at a time.

@EstherKwara So inspiring!

[Black Therapist 💕 @NicoleLewisLCSW]

Idk who needs to hear this but keep going.

[Melissa Yost LCSW @healcomplexptsd]

@MrsDocJones Thank you @MrsDocJones. We can change the world person by person with small but mighty efforts. I'm inspired by yourself and others doing the work towards equality and dismantling #racism and other barriers keeping our field in the 1800s.

I never considered this for years until I figured out that it was up to me to sort out myself as I learned the hard way, no one was going to fix me Only me.
