@JonathanShedler @GrantHBrennerMD sounds a lot like clickbait capitalism, where the motto is “enragement gets engagement”

🎇🎆YAY! 🎆🎇
US Suicide rates for kids decreased in 2022!

Not only has there has been NO pandemic effect on school-aged children, '22 demonstrates an overall 10.3% REDUCTION in suicide rates compared to '21, and 15.5% lower than '18.

A 6y low for boys and a 7y low for girls!

The younger a kid is when they get their first smartphone, the worse their mental health as a young (18-24 yo) adult. Parents: resist the urge to get your pre-teen a smartphone! They will be better off in the long-term if you wait. (The longer the better)

#MoreThanEver, anxiety and depression are on the rise for kids and youth. We need #SocialWorkers in schools to help students access the early, critical #MentalHealth supports they need. @ON_SocialWork #SocialWorkWeek2022 https://t.co/cqEGSLeugl

No matter what the numbers are, there are not supposed to be grave yards at schools, ever.

Our friend @mswjake is always giving us the best reminders!

"You are more than what you get paid to do.⁣ You are more than your profession. You are more than who you feel your professional self has to be.⁣ You are more than what you have to act like at work.⁣"

@KWardTV Great chatting! ⭐️

To remedy this, you might try to:
• Do more tasks or hobbies that have a beginning, middle, & end.
• Build a new habit or shift into an older routine.
• Mimick your typical commute with a “commute walk” at the start or end of your day.
• Implement an “email blackout period”.

The pandemic has significantly altered our sense of time and has caused a shift in what is called temporal integration.

[Jake Ernst, MSW RSW @mswjake]

Feeling exhausted by the mundane and repetitive aspects of life right now is a normal response to a disruption in temporal integration.

@ShelleyGopal Did you record it!?! Too funny.

[Jake Ernst, MSW RSW @mswjake]

A bottom up approach to learning: People learn best when they (1) feel safe in their environment and (2) feel socially- and emotionally-connected to others. Our thinking & learning brain is not at full capacity until these two needs are met.

[Jake Ernst, MSW RSW @mswjake]

So cool!
