Here at the end of #SocialWorkMonth, it's so clear how crucial #socialworkers are to the fabric of society. I hope you've enjoyed following my posts & maybe now you know more about what we do! Stay safe out there, y'all, and thank a social worker 💙 foxnews.com/opinion/willia…

I'm excited to share content all month long! Does anyone else feel like this focus is all too timely? ✋ #MentalHealthMonth

During #MentalHealthMonth, let's remember to include #socialworkers, #counselors, #therapists, #psychologists, and all #mentalhealth professionals in our gratitude for health care workers! Mental health is as important as physical health.

Sound is powerful. Whether it's a coffee shop, word-less beats, or the forest din, sound can whisk us away from the noisy, negative news or help us buckle down for a stretch of productivity. What do you like to listen to? 🌳🎶👂 #MentalHealthMonth #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth

Coronavirus got you feeling *less* #anxious? It's a powerful time for ppl who consistently live with #anxiety to share their #copingskills w/ ppl experiencing it at this level for the first time. #MentalHealthMonth #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth

Is this the shift in paradigm that includes #mentalhealth providers as #essentialworkers w/ the protection & support such a title entails? I hope so. If #COVID19 can't force the movement, I don't know what can #MentalHealthMonth #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth link.medium.com/hgLrqnEN75

This weekend is a great time to think about how you're doing in taking care of your #mentalhealth . . . really. If you're hanging in there with all these societal changes, that's great and I commend you. If your strategies aren't w…lnkd.in/gBXR2fB lnkd.in/gujcirR

#Kindness takes the focus off us & helps us contribute goodness to the world. We may notice ppl around us w/diverse factors impacting their #mentalhealth. Looking to support someone in a situation different from yours? #MentalHealthMonth #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth

Another week, another chance to remember that we don't have to do more than we feel is necessary to get through. #MentalHealthMonth #MentalMonthAwarenessMonth

While biology has a lot to do with #mentalhealth, it's by no means the only collection of factors. It's always the right time to talk about how social structures play a role & what we can do to mend broken systems. #MentalHealthMonth #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth

How often do we spend quiet time alone, unplugged? What if our wellbeing depended on it? I find myself tempted to sit in front of a screen much more often. Imagine what 10 mins of unplugging a day could do for our health. #MentalHealthMonth #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth

It's the end of another work week and we might need an extra boost to get through. Give one of these a try and allow yourself to end the week on a good note, even if it hasn't been good so far. #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth #MentalHealthMonth themuse.com/advice/take-fi…

For some, #kindness is abt anecdotes of ppl doing nice things for attention. Research shows how givers & receivers benefit from real improvements in #health!💪 #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #KindnessMatters #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth #MentalHealthMonth mentalhealth.org.uk/campaigns/ment…
