@kimberlylouvin Love this approach! I’ve had clients come in thinking that I will tell them what big life decisions to make. Some end up enjoying the therapeutic process of finding their autonomy and others found I’m not a good fit because they “need the answer.”

Can we agree that @Abercrombie summer XL is wayyyy different than a winter XL? ❄️

@kneadtotalk In collaborative care, we see patients just about every half hour. Some calls are shorter than that, and others are more case management. I struggled with this at first but now I enjoy that each call isn’t always doing a deep dive and gets me back to my social worky roots.

Today I spoke to 500 high schoolers. I asked them what they wanted for themselves in life… happiness, passion, good relationships, no regrets, purpose and meaning in their careers was what they said.

How much effort do we put into helping students achieve these life outcomes?

Gentle reminder:

Struggling with your mental health does not make you a bad therapist.

#BREAKING Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin is breathing on his own and able to talk after having his breathing tube removed, his agent said. https://t.co/9ROfPyzmIC

For educators looking for free resources, @DoinTheWorkPod has 60 episodes & counting of interviews w/folks literally doin’ the work: community organizing, anti-racist practice, critical race theory, exposing white supremacy in social work & more. https://t.co/LeUdwkhdwm

This comment comes more than 2 hours after Hamlin’s collapse. @NFL it’s time you show us the progress your mental health initiative is making with teams, because this isn’t it. Your “culture of mental health awareness” neglected to extend across multiple channels tonight.

As for the 5-minute warmup that was discussed during the broadcast, NFL executive Troy Vincent says, "I'm not sure where that came from. ... That's insensitive." Says the only focus was on the players and making sure they were OK.

[Alejandra @xandamsw]

Damage control came too late, @NFL. How do your broadcasters have more empathy than the leaders of this organization and early on asked how it was even possible to fathom getting back out to the field?

If you saw #DamarHamlin being kept alive by CPR on national television, you might be experiencing vicarious trauma.

I want you to know if you do, there’s nothing wrong with you.

Witnessing a tragic event has potential ramifications, even through the TV.

Stay GENTLE w/ self.

[LisaGrayTherapy @gray_therapy]

Can we get everyone in #Buffalo and surrounding area free therapy? Shooting in a grocery store, blizzard of the century and now this? Ugh!!

[Alejandra @xandamsw]

@EmmanuelAcho The @NFL promoting mental health awareness is hiprocisy when then they chose to give the teams 5 minutes to warm up after Hamlin collapsed.

[Alejandra @xandamsw]

@NFL it didn’t need to take more than an hour to call the game after #Hamlin’s injury. Players witnessed a traumatic event. Shouldn’t have been a question about calling the game.

[Alejandra @xandamsw]

How the @NFL moves forward after #Hamlin is telling of what they think of their players’ mental health.

[Alejandra @xandamsw]

Let your resolutions motivate you, not shame you.
