@AnnaCounts_ This connection is crucial and should be discussed in more courses.

@kennardemily @karenzgoda Strict animal laws are a good idea. But also punishments and implications for abusers should be looked at differently.

[Kim Corrie @KimCorrie6]

@CMSikorski4 Hi Colleen, I agree. This is something I wish UB offered more of. I did not know most of this information!

[Kim Corrie @KimCorrie6]

A3. I think this shows implications at the macro level observing from a policy/home care standpoint. For example, social workers working in child welfare, maybe if there is child abuse, they can note that there is possible domestic violence? Same for the opposite. #macrosw

@AnnaPer72254792 Me too!!

[Kim Corrie @KimCorrie6]

@VeterinarySWK This is interesting. That is a cool career!

[Kim Corrie @KimCorrie6]

@UBSSW @vetsocialwork Wow! I've never heard this.

[Kim Corrie @KimCorrie6]

@EpiphanyMcgee That is an interesting perspective. Animals could bring more pain to clients in these situation.

[Kim Corrie @KimCorrie6]

@swkterry Hi Terry! That is very cool. Animals are something special.

[Kim Corrie @KimCorrie6]

@CMSikorski4 Hi Colleen! That is awesome. That is probably a huge role for veterans.

[Kim Corrie @KimCorrie6]

@HeatherRand3 Hi Heather, that is a good point. I did not think about a case worker's ownership of pets. I know a few that have them.

[Kim Corrie @KimCorrie6]

A2. These topics don’t apply directly to my work. But with children owning support pets or just household animals, I do observe distress when an animal passes. I have noticed that my students with support animals seem to have better coping at home because of the animal. #macrosw

@BellgraphSierra So sweet! I have thought about a therapy pet before.

[Kim Corrie @KimCorrie6]

@AnnaPer72254792 Hi Anna! I have never had a pet either but see everyone else loving on theirs!

[Kim Corrie @KimCorrie6]

A1. I am the rare few who do not have an animal and have never had a pet other than the occasional fair fish. However, living alone during this pandemic I have actually wished that I had a furry friend to keep me company. It has been a difficult time being alone. #macrosw

Hi everyone! My name is Kim Corrie and I am a UB MSW student #macrosw

@CarlyOverbay Hi Carly! Panels are a great idea. I did not think about this but it would be a good option for telemeetings.

[Kim Corrie @KimCorrie6]

A5. I think that this shutdown has shown us that many things can be virtual rather than in person. I believe that we can utilize technology more in future conferences. I think conferences should also become more interactive using technology. #macrosw

[Kim Corrie @KimCorrie6]

A4. I think virtual conferences can remain meaningful and engaging if you limit the number of participants to the amount where everyone can participate and interact. I also think that more than ever presenters need to be engaging and animated to draw in participants #macrosw

[Kim Corrie @KimCorrie6]

A3. I have not attended any academic or practice conference but hope to in the future. #macrosw
