this race has proven if there's one thing chicagoans do not tolerate under any circumstances it's someone who says they're from chicago but are actually from the suburbs
So proud of my badass classmate and social work colleague for speaking up! This is a must read. #CPS#SocialWork#SocialWorkMonth#SchoolSocialWork@UChicagoCrown
I’m a school social worker. Our kids can’t learn if they don’t heal from trauma. https://t.co/wkEfJbpV4B
The problem is you see, our society is still very much rooted in behaviorism. "You are bad, therefore you are punished. You are good, therefore you are rewarded." This concept just adds to the disconnect.
we discuss and vote as if we live in a democracy but it's not. We live in a necropolitical society and it's time we radicalize ourselves to face it as such.
How f*ing hard is it @hbomax to add a trigger warning for #theWayDown’s 3rd episode for the graphic description of physical abuse and murder of a young child? Absolutely horrific detail that is traumatizing. The lengths we go to to devalue Black bodies never ceases to amaze me.
Hey twitter, can you hit me with your best resources on PTSD and trauma? Asking for a friend (genuinely).
If you could RT for reach, I'd be super appreciative.
If you know anyone who writes with the belief that kids do actually know what they need, please send my way. sick of reading things by therapists who think they're better than their clients, and therefore know better. decolonize therapy.
trying to find resources that will help me engage a young client who is having a hard time expressing himself and doesn't want to be in therapy. everything I find says something about engaging "resistant" clients / how to engage kids in therapy who don't want to go but "need" to.
what boils my blood is that people talk about children in a patriarchal way that makes it seem like they don't know what they need or how they feel. approaching therapy this way, with children or adults, is a surefire way to push them away even further.
