Just submitted my last assignment of the semester... Feels great to say that I’m officially done with my first year of grad school! So much work and so thankful for support from my colleagues and loved ones ❤️ #MSWStudent

The #coronavirus has exposed what we have always known, the deep depths of racial inequity in this country #BlackLivesMatter #whatmatters2020

I had a really long conversation with my dad tonight about White privilege and systems of oppression. It was not an easy conversation, and there were many things we just couldn’t agree on. But these conversations are so important to have and help us all become better/more aware.

I have my first interview for next year’s placement in a little. I’m feeling really nervous but also excited!

I am a social worker and I stand up for equity, social justice, and aiding those in need. #MacroSW

A5: I think the best way to educate ourselves as professionals is to utilize resources to learn more about systems of oppression and open the dialogue with our clients. Gaining awareness of issues at a micro and macro level is crucial. #MacroSW

[Jamie @jschmidt_SW]

A4: At a professional level, I think it’s important to implement trauma-informed systems and consider how oppression/privilege affect our clients. I am also passionate about assisting the homeless and improving the lack of services for this population. #MacroSW

[Jamie @jschmidt_SW]

A2: I often relate Social Work history with Jane Addams and Mary Richmond who helped set the foundation for this profession. Also, the continuous fight for equal rights for those who are continuously oppressed and marginalized. #MacroSW

[Jamie @jschmidt_SW]

A1: I’ve always wanted to be able to make a difference and positively impact others’ lives anyway that I could. I want to help those who may need additional assistance and advocate to help have their voices heard #MacroSW

Hello everyone! My name is Jamie and I’m a first-year MSW student at CSU Dominguez Hills. Excited to join this chat tonight! #MacroSW #CSUDHmsw501

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

If we’re going to combat homophobia and transphobia in this country, we must pass the Equality Act to increase protections for LGBTQ+ Americans across the country. It’s on us to prove that no one will be left to fight alone.

Why a coronavirus diagnosis is not a certain death sentence and more coronavirus myths debunked

[Jamie @jschmidt_SW]

I really enjoyed the chat and seeing everyone’s perspective on immigration and the many steps we can take to ensure that people are treated humanely. Special thanks to @OfficialMacroSW and @cheryl_aguilar #MacroSW #CSUDHmsw501

[Jamie @jschmidt_SW]

@cheryl_aguilar This just doesn’t seem humane or ethical in any way.

[Jamie @jschmidt_SW]

A3: I feel the presence of rising anti-immigrant rhetoric has a major impact on psychological well-being and can lead to overwhelming stress, anxiety, and fear. Then there is limited or no access to mental health services to help #macrosw #CSUDHmsw501

[Jamie @jschmidt_SW]

Immigrants may experience barriers to receiving necessary resources, fear of being deported and targeted by others, and being separated from family. #macrosw #CSUDHmsw501
