Children living in a residential setting often feel that this is the “end of the road” and have a difficult experience. Effective casework with these children can often help them recognize that there is hope. (Pearson Education, 2018) #TarletonCWF22

@gmaciastsu These trainings are very important to have, especially as social workers. The amount of emotions and actions a social worker works with within individuals, these trainings are highly required and will be beneficial.

A full assessment should be done of the psychological, emotional, and health-related issues of each youth before they face emancipation. This will help them receive the services they need before this big change. Shirk & Stangler (2004) #TarletonCWF22

@LaurenRay0 Hi Lauren, I’m glad you spoke about this. It is very true and I wish people talked about this more so they would be heard and offered some type of help to get them on there feet.

Teenagers who have strained relationships with parents, who have been abused may become pregnant early to fulfill social longings and comfort. Social workers identifying this early may help lead them in a different direction. #TarletonCWF22

@Julissaa07 Hi Julissaa, you couldn’t have said it better! These teens are in tough situations when they become pregnant so young. Providing them with successful resources could help them in many ways.

As a school social worker it is our job to focusing on the children who struggle with poverty, paying close attention to this could decrease adolescents becoming pregnant and anticipate greater opportunities. #TarletonCWF22

@Reagan_D_W Hi Reagan, I agree with you. Knowing this information as a Social Worker is very important considering you will be dealing with trauma a large amount of time no matter what job you take.

[Megan Samples @MeganSamples23]

Students struggle everyday in school from childhood trauma, affecting them academically and emotionally. School social workers are uniquely positioned to serve at-risk students. Their primary goal is to ensure that barriers are mitigated for students struggling. #TarletonCFW22

@gmaciastsu I agree with you 100%, school is a huge impact on children especially if they are struggling at home already. Not only do teachers need to focus on their education, but as well as their physical and mental well being. Children may look at school as their safe place.

The military has been called the “great equalizer” socioeconomically. Young people from lower socioeconomic levels may not be able to get training beyond high school and find out they can do so serving the military and receive benefits. #TarletonCWF22

@Pandamh98 Hi Maria, I agree with you social media is huge right now and could easily promote violence. When children witness violence it is more likely they will express violence at school or home.

@LaReynaaashe Thank you for providing this information. It’s crazy to think how diverse the world was in the past. I hope one day the diversity in equal and no child ever has to experience this.
