@MPFowlerMSW Thank you for sharing this. We as future social workers have to be vigilant in advocating for the LGBTQ community and help destigmatize that they are criminals.

@whitney_byler This is a great tip and can be helpful in all professions. So many people are afaird to be who they are. Let's celebrate all families and people.

LGBTQ youths face hostile environments at school. NASW supports school-based programming that addresses and stops anti-LGB bullying, gender-based violence, and other forms of discrimination.

@CherYoungblood I agree that immigrant families face so many barriers when working with social services. I feel that more culturaly competent practices should be put into place to help the families understand the process.

@TammyVantrease Your infographic has great points of how passing The Dream Act the United States of America could boost the economy and give dreamers a change to better their lives and their family life's.

@DavidPa86591889 @lauren_wkumsw This is so true so many times it is their own family that take advantage of the elderly. Working with the elderly population I witnessed this and the elderly person would not do anything about it because they did not want the person to get in trouble.

@kaylabrookeMSW This is a great resource that will benefit so many people and their families. Had my family known about this with my grandparents we would have utilized this service. Thank you for sharing.

@ClaireP16551385 This article highlights the importance of keeping the child in their community. I like how it brings to light the effects of a child being moved to a different community and how it can add to the stress of the situation.

[Katherine_Childres04 @KChildres04]

@mailirose95 This is an excellent point many of the clients I work with suffered abuse or neglect as a child and turn to illicit substances to numb the pain or to be people that made them feel wanted.

Healing the whole family from the effects of substance use disorder. Family-centered residential treatment can provide opportunities for parents and children to maintain/restore a bond.

@JamesMTurner_ These are great tips that I feel everyone needs to implement not only during COVID but everyday. I am going to implement using these tips more with my clients. Thank you for the group topic.

[Katherine_Childres04 @KChildres04]

@AdalineEstay This is a great point so many women are worried about being the perfect mother that they do not reach out when they are feeling down or overwhelmed. Raising awareness about the mental health needs of new mothers is so important.

[Katherine_Childres04 @KChildres04]

Research shows a connection between substance use disorder and mental illness. Treatment for people experiencing Substance use disorder and mental illness should be made available to all.  #socialworkspeaks #WKUsocialworkpolicy

@Katleigh10085 SB250 is a great step in helping women gain access to birth control. Dose SB 250 also have a section about educating women about birth control and the proper way to utilize it so it is effective?

@TammyVantrease @LaurenB17130472 This infographic is a great representation of how Telehealth has advanced service and allowed people who travel long distances to gain easier access. I wonder if there has been a decrease in people not showing up for services?

[Katherine_Childres04 @KChildres04]

@ClaireP16551385 We are closer to people living better lives without having to choose between food or medications.
