@Karlye15961288 This article was very informative and sheds an awareness on the LGBTQ older adult population! #susocialwork

Great article that talks about affirmative therapy with LGBTQ older adults. #SUSocialSowk ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/28561…

@cwoodcock14 I think it is very important to be able to check your privileges and help those who are at certain disadvantages! #susocialwork

itspronouncedmetrosexual.com/2012/01/29-exa… By being able to identify my privileges because of my cisgender, heterosexual identities, I am taking the first step towards practicing an affirmative practice! It all starts now, and I know my fellow #SUsocialwork classmates will do the same

gaycenter.org/advocacy/ I found this article that talked about ways others can fight for LGBTQ members social injustice while also getting involved with the community #SUSocialWork

@nmolock23 and I this weekend trying to raise awareness about violence in the LGBTQ community! Couldn’t have had a better partner for this 😊

@cwoodcock14 and I recently walked around campus and put out brochures to raise awareness about LGBTQ violence! #SUSocialWork

@Aisha5485 I liked how this article brought awareness about the issues we have with gun violence today. It is important that these policies continue to be looked at to have more gun control #susocialwork

hrc.org/resources/gun-… A policy discussing gun violence within the LGBTQ community.#SUsocialwork SOWK 486

@cwoodcock14 I think this would be a great policy to have for the elderly! I think having this LGBTQ retirement home was a great idea to do to help these individuals feel more comfortable #susocialwork

theguardian.com/society/2014/j… I feel this is definitely a policy that can be made in the US as well! We all need to advocate for inclusive policy, and continue to be allies to those in the LGBTQ community.

aclu.org/issues/lgbt-ri… I found this article that talked about ALCU providing rights to LGBT people to ensure that they are being treated fairly within the system #SUSocialWork

@teepayne82 This was a great article that showed a lot of great resources for the LGBTQ community! #SUSocialWork

If your in the LGBTQ community or know someone who is and have questions about religion within the community check out this website thetrevorproject.org/trvr_support_c… they share thoughts and resources..#SUsocialwork

@cwoodcock14 I totally agree that we need to work with inclusion. I think it is important for others to understand that religion can impact individuals a part of the LGBTQ community #SUSocialWork

apple.news/AyA7HQIFbMG-fB… this article directly relates with one of the videos from this week! Even though this was a year ago, it is still in effect.This is just one example of religion boldly expressing negativity toward LGBTQ persons. We need to work for inclusion! #SUsocialwork

google.com/amp/s/www.nbcn… this article talked about a new Religious Exemption directive which could cause discrimation towards the LGBTQ community #SUSocialWork

@Aisha5485 This was a great article discussing the many ways that LGBTQ members still continue to face discrimination. Everyone should be having equal rights and no one should be discriminated against just because of being in the LGBTQ community #SUSocialWork

fortune.com/2017/06/25/lgb… LGBTQ workers facing discrimination is not right. They should be treated as equals! #SUsocialwork sowk486

@cwoodcock14 It’s crazy to think that many states still have workplace discrimination against lgbtq memebers! There definitely needs to be changes happening in order to help these individuals within the LGBTQ communities #SUSocialWork

outandequal.org/2017-workplace… this was a great, quick way to show the discrimination the LGBTQ community faces. A good statistic I found was that in 2017, 92% (up from 4% in 1996) of Fortune 500 companies have inclusive policies that welcome members of this community! #SUsocialwork

catalyst.org/knowledge/lesb… this article provided statistics of the many workplace discrimination that LGBTQ members face daily #SUSocialWork

aappublications.org/news/2018/04/1… this article discussed how there is a much higher increase in mental health issues amoung the LGBTQ community than their peers #SUSocialSowk

@Karlye15961288 Great use of statistics to help make awareness about the LGBTQ community and their mental health. It is important for people to become more aware about the issues continuously going on within the community #SUsocialwork

This picture gives statistics on the LGBTQ communities mental health. These statistics are sad, yet true. Something needs to change and educating people on the statistics will help try and make the change happen. #SUSocialWork

@teepayne82 It’s so disappointing to hear such a sad story about a young boy commiting suicide. There needs to be continuous awareness about LGBTQ mental illnesses that are happening #SUSocialWork

A 9-Year-Old Colorado Boy's Death by Suicide Highlights the Challenges Facing LGBTQ Kids time.com/5380203/lgbtq-…. This article shows how serious the mental health crisis is in our LGBTQ+ youth community. We need to raise awareness and be a source of hope #SUSocialwork

google.com/amp/s/amp.theg… I found this interesting article discussing an individuals experience dealing with their mental health problem. It’s important to realize how mental health can affect the LGBTQ community #SUsocialwork

google.com/amp/s/www.pbs.… this article talked about the issues LGBTQ older adults face when having long-term care from other individuals. It was shocking to see in number how many older adults deal with mistreatment just because of their sexual orientation #SUSocialWork

@Aisha5485 I loved how this article provided a list for friends and family’s to learn more about what they can and cannot do when working with LGBTQ individuals #SUSocialWork

iknowmine.org/for-youth/glbt… Great website for families and friends of LGBTQ. Tips on the do’s and don’t of family members and friends as well. #SUsocialwork SOWK 486
