Social Work Stacey

Social Worker in private practice & part time college professor. Views are not my college employers, but they definitely are my PP employers.

@StandingHannah And then kept the tip confidential while the police followed up on it so the family could be notified without hearing it through the media 💜

@tylerblack32 And exercise can easily become part of the problem— I see a lot of clients who use it as avoidance vs. Distraction/support. The old saying ‘you can’t outrun your problems’ and all…

@tylerblack32 Where are these mythical places that every kid is getting an SSRI? Where I am, my clients are usually on year+ waiting lists to see a doc. By that time, we have loads of evidence to support need, and things are often dire.

@KashPrime Anchor your furniture— including your TVs!

@realJ_Mitchell Absences is still going to be on an 8 month long waitlist for support. As always— the words are great on paper, in practice though…

@realJ_Mitchell Solving a problem with rules but no system change has never worked— the kid who never makes it to first period on time because they have to get their younger siblings to school is still not going to make it to first period. The kid struggling with mental health

[Social Work Stacey @ststscy]

@realJ_Mitchell Definitely not point at you! I’ve seen enough of your posts to know where you stand!

@AngeeGabs Community. We all need it— and for multiple aspects of our lives.

@JBradshaw01 Written by exam in drama? Music? Tech? Seems like a drag for the kids that really need those subjects to boost their confidence and keep them attached to school.

@KashPrime I couldn’t tell you when he last went for a walk off our property (and don’t come for me— I live in a small village on an acre lot, he has room), but without having property, I have no idea what I would do!

@KashPrime This is so frustrating. My dog is NOT friendly (he’s also old, going deaf and blind) a dog running up to him is TERRIFYING to him and he will act accordingly. I would NEVER go to an off leash area with him, but I really don’t go anywhere with him because people dont follow rules

@CanadianKayMD Up until very recently (last month), my rural Ontario town had two hours of walk in clinic time a day. Which is only two hours in theory, because they only take X number of patients a day. Not having a family doctor means very sick people in the ER.

@trobuling @JBradshaw01 Most people don’t know what social workers prevent because it was… prevented.

@ESL_fairy @PeelAutism ‘They just go from 0-100!’ No…. They live life at a baseline of 80, AND they’ve been holding it together for DAYS before this.

@CanadianKayMD My brothers in PEI. Had to quit a career he loved because he couldn’t manage his asthma/recurrent lung infections without a primary care doctor.

@raghu_venugopal @abctoronto_ I keep hearing a stupid commercial about how supervised consumption sites closing keeps drugs away from playgrounds and I don’t know in what world people don’t think closing the sites actually drives drugs towards playgrounds…

[Social Work Stacey @ststscy]

@raghu_venugopal @abctoronto_ I saw a post somewhere recently that was asking for tips on how to keep hunger away until it was their turn at the food bank again. Drugs. Drugs keep hunger away. Why is that an easier solution than feeding people? 1/2
