@amberjuarez29 Amber, this is a bit of an embarrassment! It is hard to imagine that any adult would be absolutely oblivious to the meanig of Ash Wednesday. I hope that was the case though, rather than religious intolerance and discrimination. #SUsocialwork

@benechmeyer @Refugees Michael, interesting article. I like the four stated strategic areas: direct emergency assistance, protection, socio-economic and cultural integration and capacity-building for governments of receiving countries. They are thinking through hard social situations. #SUsocialwork

Widening corruption of elite college admissions.
Some wealthy people believe they should be able to buy their children's admission.

Where’s the integrity, my friends? #SUsocialwork

@namethehomeless Moving video. Thank you for posting. I was surprised at the age of the recipients. These are individuals with names, and stories, and lives. I love the beautiful work social workers can do. #SUsocialwork

@Lisamdn_nguyen Interesting article, Lisa. The definition is important to understand: "severe, repeated, and deliberate efforts to harm someone, plus a power difference." Squabbles will happen. Parents responsibility; teach them to love one another and serve one another. #SUsocialwork

Self-Care is “Essential”
NASW issued a Policy Statement on Professional Self-Care and Social Work. Critical to the survival and growth of the profession.” #SUsocialwork

@KheonaR Treat addiction as disease not a crime. Powerful Perspective! I can see much good coming from an attitude like this. Respect the dignity and worth of human beings. #SUsocialwork

@amberjuarez29 Amber, the issue of Medicare for all is complex and so fraught with politics that it is difficult for me to wrap my head around it. I have seen socialized medicine in action and I would not want a system such as that to be the option for Americans. #SUsocialwork

March is Brain Injury Awareness Month. It's a good time to advocate that Concussion Laws Must Be Strengthened. The cost is too high for our student-athletes. Learn more about it. Have an opinion. https://t.co/dg6T3dki3H #SUsocialwork

@KheonaR @MGMAdvertiser Interesting post, Kheona. What do you think about it? I particularly see the pros side by realizing the bill will help assure minors living in the households (receiving SNAP) will get proper nourishment, and that the resources not be misused. #SUsocialwork

@loveablelj Laura, good information about understanding the stages LBG community members go through in making their sexual orientation public. This would be helpful in reaching out empathetically. Thanks for sharing. #SUsocialwork

From forgoing dessert to exercising regularly to saving for retirement, many people feel they are in a perennial battle with themselves. Most people predict incorrectly that they will overcome this battle

@MichLinza1 Service members have a job and a responsibility. Part of that job includes not putting anybody at risk, especially when deployed. It’s too high of a price to pay to have their minds blurred in situations where they really have to be at the top of their game. #SUsocialwork

@amberjuarez29 Paid parental leave - this policy is long overdue.
”Policies that allow women with children to thrive should not be novelties, they should be the norm." I couldn’t agree more. #SUsocialwork

@benechmeyer The fact that investigations have uncovered mistakes made by the VA in regard to caring for SM mental health-unacceptable. Experts should rightfully worry that veterans taking their lives on VA property has become a desperate form of protest against the system. #SUsocialwork

I found these 10 points inspiring when it comes to making strides forward in our personal lives. #SUsocialwork

@MichLinza1 Michelle, I am awe-struck by such advocates and activists as Martin Luther King Jr. Did you ever watch the movie "Selma"? Powerful and moving! Such a momentous piece of American history. Thanks for posting. #SUsocialwork

@Lisamdn_nguyen @ABC Lisa, the mindset must change that kids will be kids and bullying is a normal elementary school activity. It damages children and sometimes has lasting effects into adulthood. #SUsocialwork
