@PeteCam220 @psyc220 @psyc220 #CD7 Thank you Cam ! I really appreciate your response ! and yes I agree that learning about these backgrounds can help me tackle those certain oppressions that can sometimes be heard to notice!

[macywagoner10 @macywagoner10]

#CD7 @psyc220 A major goal of mine is to become a trauma therapist, as being a therapist I would deal with people from all sorts of backgrounds which means I would do my best to keep myself educated and do my research to make sure I'm doing the best options possible to help

@ninasusername @psyc220 @psyc220 #cd7 Yes Nina thank you for your response! I believe its important for people of all backgrounds have the same opportunity and resources in this field !

[macywagoner10 @macywagoner10]

@carolineglovis1 @psyc220 #CD7 @psyc220 Caroline , I totally agree with you about connecting with the patient first ! it makes the therapy process better when there is a good relationship established and sadly many people are undiagnosed for this reason or don't reach out for help.

@gracemagnerr @psyc220 #CD7 @psyc220 Grace, I agree with you ! and think it is super important to educate our children and teach them to accept people of all backgrounds! Also as parents our children look up to us and watch our every move so I liked how you also talked about how we behave ourselves !

[macywagoner10 @macywagoner10]

different people, I would also make sure that my patients feel that they are in a safe and comfortable environment to speak about any problems they have and give them a space to be honest and tell me what I could do to better benefit their lives and hardships.

@caralinepsych @psyc220 #CD6 @psyc220 Thank you Caraline! I think it is such a big issue in our society today that there is not enough information out there available for people with mental illness and leads to so many people not getting the help they need ! ):

[macywagoner10 @macywagoner10]

#CD6 @psyc220 One intersectionality that is extremely prevalent in our society is socioeconomics and mental health, many people on the lower scale tend to not seek help because lack of insurance or information on other options.The mental health corporations are very low

[macywagoner10 @macywagoner10]

@allie_pritz @psyc220 #CD6 @psyc220 I completely agree that there is a gap between genders and that sometimes even though women have the same job and the same credentials they still get paid less.

[macywagoner10 @macywagoner10]

@livcarmack @psyc220 have the resources available and funding is extremely low in mental health corporations which I think needs to be resolved !

[macywagoner10 @macywagoner10]

@livcarmack @psyc220 #CD6 @psyc220 Hey Olivia! I completely agree about the stigma around males and how they are seen as people who aren't allowed to share their feelings I also liked how you tied in the socioeconomic aspect because a lot of people how trouble with finding help because they don't ha

[macywagoner10 @macywagoner10]

@jesszoggpsych @psyc220 seen as helpless but rather people like everyone else who are capable !!

[macywagoner10 @macywagoner10]

@jesszoggpsych @psyc220 #CD5b @psyc220 Hey Jessica! I really liked your view point on this and also agree that it uses the medical model and makes disabled people out to be "sick" or not able to do things which is hurtful to them because some people with disabilities accept it and don't like to be

[macywagoner10 @macywagoner10]

@allie_pritz @psyc220 #CD5a @psyc220 Hey Allison! I also agree with how our campus is very attentive to the accessible and I liked how you talked about the attendance policy because I do really believe that makes it harder and I never knew that it takes that long to hear back from them!!

[macywagoner10 @macywagoner10]

don't want to be seen as someone who has "overcame" something or a hero some embrace their disabled ness and don't see it as something that needs to be infatuated with.

[macywagoner10 @macywagoner10]

#CD5b @psyc220 a lot of our media today and movies and tv shows have modeled the idea of inspiration porn , doing so as making disabled people hers and overcoming their disabilities.Even though some might think this is moving that's not always the case.Some disabled people

[macywagoner10 @macywagoner10]

I also wanted to point out the mental health part as well, and how the school has a strict policy for attendance that makes it harder for a lot of disabled people.

[macywagoner10 @macywagoner10]

#CD5a @psyc220 Jmu does have some programs through ODS but these still have limits, also our campus is very spread out and it can be hard to locate ramps sometimes.The classroom set up can also be a hassle because most of the time they are crammed or close together.

[macywagoner10 @macywagoner10]

@olivianedd7800 @psyc220 #CD4 @psyc220 yes! normally people just think it's about women when there's so much more to that!

[macywagoner10 @macywagoner10]

#CD4 @psyc220 Feminism plays a huge role in ending oppression not only for women but also sexual and gender minorities, it still is in motion but has already helped a lot in better the lives of these groups such as greater education,equitable pay, rights for pregnancy and many
