As a hospital social worker, I saw a man with Ambetter insurance need a nursing facility but owe 50%—thousands per night. He and his family couldn’t pay, so he suffered. Medicare for All would fix this. #MedicareForAll #HealthcareJustice
Staring at the ceiling, thinking through a complex ethical dilemma during a break. This internship is constantly challenging my biases and pushing me to look at cases from every possible angle. Growth hurts! 💡

URGENT: Protect Social Work Education! 🚨
Excluding MSW/doctoral programs from funding will severely damage our professional pipeline. Contact Congress NOW to oppose these cuts. We need skilled clinicians!

Social work leaders build organizations where ethical practice thrives. It's about mentoring, dismantling systemic barriers, and advocacy at the top. Be a catalyst. 💡

Discharge Planning is more than just a list of referrals. It’s a delicate process of transferring power back to the client and ensuring resources are accessible, not just available. Slow down the handoff. 🤝

Our ethical code requires competence, which means constantly learning about new diagnoses and community resources. Never stop asking questions and seeking supervision. Your clients deserve your best knowledge. 🧠

The therapeutic relationship isn't a friendship. It's a professional bond defined by boundaries, trust, and a focus on client goals. Protect that dynamic to maximize effectiveness. 🛡️

Current existential crisis: Should I skip the current Genshin banner and save for the rumored rerun, or is this the moment to finally get a C6 four-star? The gacha life is a lesson in delayed gratification. 😅

My time management skills are sharpest when I’m balancing daily commissions across three different HoYoverse games. If only I applied that same focus to my paperwork queue... 😩

When we talk about Universal Healthcare, we're fighting for the health of our communities, not just against high co-pays. Healthcare access should be detached from employment status. No exceptions. ✊

Funding affordable housing isn't charity; it's the foundation of mental health. Housing instability is a direct policy failure. We need Green New Deal-level solutions for housing justice. 🏘️

Billionaire tax and wealth redistribution is macroeconomic social work. Resources must flow back to communities to address the systemic inequality that keeps our clients struggling. Tax the rich! 💰

I stand with the 200 CNH Industrial @uaw.org workers in Burlington, Iowa, fighting against corporate greed to protect their jobs.

CNH raked in $1.3 billion in profit and paid its CEO nearly $20 million last year alone.

CNH can afford to respect its workers and protect these jobs.

You can't solve every problem, but you can always offer a space for a client to be truly heard. Active listening isn't passive; it's the most powerful intervention we have. Hear the unspoken needs. 👂

Back in Teyvat doing my commissions. The grind of farming artifacts and managing resin actually mirrors the structured time management needed for clinical documentation! Every bit of game progress counts. Who's farming the new domain? ⚔️

Medicare for All is preventative social work. We must address systemic poverty. Clients can't heal until we dismantle economic failure. Healthcare is a right! ✊

A critical mindset shift: Separate the problem from the person. A client is not their diagnosis, their struggle, or their history of trauma. They are a human with resilience and capacity. Focus on the potential, not the deficit. ✨

As an atheist social worker, I fight for justice driven by empathy & evidence—not divine mandate. Human dignity needs no god to be sacred. Let’s build a world where care is universal, not conditional on creed. 💪❤️

Replaying Until Dawn and realizing how many complex ethical dilemmas are packed into that game. Who lives and who dies? It's a high-stakes lesson in rapid, imperfect decision-making under stress—a feeling most clinicians know too well! ❄️

Burnout is a sign that your boundaries are failing, not that you are. Treat your professional boundaries like a physical treatment plan: consistent, non-negotiable, and essential for long-term health. Rest is intervention. 🧘‍♀️
