Photo: mineThis week has been a little weird, but not bad. My incisions from the scalp surgery are healing, and I'll get the stitches out in a few days. It's been pretty amazing how little pain I've had. I was skeptical of not getting pain meds, and being told to take Tylenol, but it's been fine. I haven't even taken Tylenol past the 2nd or 3rd day post-op. I slept a LOT the first few days, and waited to resume the THC for sleep for 4-5 nights, but definitely needed it to help me get back […]

#Trump must release millions in #grants meant to address the shortage of #MentalHealth workers in #schools, a federal judge ruled.

#Congress funded the program after the 2022 #Uvalde #SchoolShooting. The grants were intended to help schools hire more #counselors, #psychologists & #SocialWorkers, & focus on rural & underserved areas. But Trump’s admin opposed #diversity considerations used to award the grants & told recipients they wouldn’t continue past Dec 2025.

The #NASW-TX Board of Directors has released a series of powerful statements reaffirming what #socialworkers already know: Social work is not neutral. We stand on the side of equity, inclusion, compassion, and truth—even when those principles are politicized.
Even when they’re inconvenient. Read the full statements here: https://bit.ly/3RxqObh

The Trump Administration and states have issued scores of executive orders and laws that discriminate against people who are LGBTQ+. This is a form of political violence. NASW Arizona Executive Brandie Reiner writes about this crisis in #NASW's Social Work Blog and offers #SocialWorkers advice on how they can help. https://tinyurl.com/5n7x4288

#RCMP issued an #apology on September 7, 2024, for the historic use of #StreetChecks and other harmful interactions with members of the #African #NovaScotian community. It was an apology too long in coming, for treatment that was, in the words of Rev. Lennett Anderson, “dehumanizing and tragic.” And the RCMP's history suggests we should be deeply skeptical that the proposed action plan will be even close to what is required to remedy these grave injustices.

In his 2019 report, written for the #NovaScotia #HumanRights Commission, Dr. Scot Wortley defines street checks as any occasion in which civilians are stopped by #police and subjected to intrusive questions, and their personal information collected into a database. He confirmed what community members have known for years: people of African descent in the #Halifax region are almost six times more likely to face street checks.

It took five years after the release of this report for the RCMP to apologize for the harms caused. They also committed to an action plan, developed in consultation with members of 13 African Nova Scotian communities and the Association of #Black #SocialWorkers.
