Re-entry into society is a major barrier that individuals face and we definitely need more resources to assist with the transition into the "real-world". I believe it would make a huge difference #SUSocialWork
Billions are spent annually locking people up, but only a fraction of that is spent trying to help people once they are released. Nonprofits are often the only support system, and the pandemic has strained funding for already poorly funded organizations.

@kzacker I think many forget the power of our word choice and the long-term impact it can have on our lives. We all definitely need to be more aware! #Susocialwork
I don't agree with not quarantining simply because of missing school. Safety is everything, especially when these kids and their families are at risk. Hybrid should be an option in these cases. AACPS are still following strict guidelines #SUSocialWork

@Caitlin_MSW2020 I agree that this is definitely a good idea and that appropriate training is needed. AACO police has a CIT unit that is very similar to this concept (police & clinician pair) and it is very effective. The responders also need to be โin itโ for the right reason. #SUSocialWork
"The science is credible; vaccinations are the only way that we are going to achieve herd immunity, and everyone must be a part of that solutionโ. I have to say I was unsure if this would happen, but it is critical. #SUSocialWork

@Glyons2262 WOW! This is so powerful and incredibly heartbreaking. This is a critical time period for our healthcare system to be adequate and it simply is not. More attention is definitely needed so the last words of a dying patient is not "who's going to pay for it". #SUSocualWork
@MollyFields_SU Definitely long lasting-effects because although they still had/have virtual meetings, most lack employment opportunities and were isolated to their home/recovery house. Face-to-face interaction does wonders in the recovery world #SUSocialWork
As one who works with those struggling with substance abuse, I can confirm that the opioid crisis has gotten worse throughout the pandemic... no jobs, lack of recovery network and meetings... recipe for relapse #SUSocialWork
@Caitlin_MSW2020 This is awful! What's even worse is that paid maternity leave isn't even ensured for women. The U.S. compared to other countries is terrible when it comes to maternity and paternity leave #SUSocialWork
This is very similar to what the CIT unit of my job (AACO Crisis Response) does. It's so important to have a clinician paired with an officer in crisis situations and makes such a difference! #SUSocialWork
I feel as though Telehealth availability for medical appointments has been a game changer for many populations. I wish it would have been available in MD sooner. Thoughts? #SUSocialWork
@SocialWorkToday The lack of money dedicated to those after release only increases the chances for re-entry. We need more resources to assist those in re-integrating back into society #SUSocialWork
@_mikaliartice Wow! I am shocked as well! I'm wondering if they were/are a bit more careless since they are confined and not exiting to the general population as we are (i.e work, grocery store, etc). Not that this would by any means be an acceptable excuse #SUSocialWork
@PeytonWashingt4 This is so true! I canโt tell you how many of my clients are not receiving the care they need because of lacking access to appropriate healthcare. We definitely need to advocate! #SUSocialWork
@charlotteSU2020 I completely agree! The last year has put so many things into perspective and I can only hope that we can all become more aware of ourselves and our impact on the health of our surroundings. #SUSocialWork
