First time teaching in-person in a classroom Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work since Fall 2019! Feeling excited, nervous, and very happy to be back with students again! I have a huge smile under my mask 😁 #SocialWorker OASW OCSWSSW

We’ve all been through several hard years of this pandemic. Take a moment to reach out to someone you love today, and ask how they’re actually feeling. You may be exactly the support they need. ❤️ #BellLetsTalk #MentalHealthAwareness
