Having an“always available adult” (AAA) as a kid is associated with lower rates of unhealthy behaviors and poor mental health in adulthood. I can remember who my "AAA" was growing up and the positive impact of having her. How do kids safely find their AAA in today's world?

Trauma informed services are informed about, and sensitive to, the potential for trauma related issues to be present in patients, regardless of whether the issues are directly or obviously related to the presenting complaint or condition. #traumainformedcare #traumainformedsystem

@gerrydiamond71 Education and collaboration. Making a commitment to understanding trauma outside of the traditional roles. For some, also putting our egos aside and replace with curiosity and openness to learn what we don’t know.

How do we wake up the medical profession on ACEs .(Adverse Childhood Experiences)?.🧠🌱

@ShannonSevigny It’s so great. I have to set time limits on myself otherwise I would spend way too much time creating things exactly how I would use them or a client would use them.

I love Canva. I love being able to make up logs and thought records and journal prompts and worksheets and psychoeducation documents for clients, that are exactly how I want them or what a specific client needs and likes. I love it.

Earlier this week I had the pleasure of witnessing a client increase insight and understanding of symptoms while creating a visual to help identify underlying beliefs and meaning of the alcohol use and anger . How else can the #angericeberg be adapted and used?

@SherryLCSW Have you seen the training out there somewhere in the online world focused on starting an adjunctive emdr program in community mental health? It seeks to incorporate emdr parts into therapy for those not trained in emdr. If only i had more time…

@CatlinDenis @VAHouston @DeptVetAffairs @VeteransHealth I had no idea there were so many apps available. I just came across RO DBT developed by Grow-RO. I will be saving this picture for possible future uses. Is there any specific VR app you would add to this?

A mental health mobile and web based resource list providers can give to Veterans. Please share if your agency uses anything similar! I now like to add VR app recommendations at the bottom! @VAHouston @DeptVetAffairs #ubDSWtech

@KelseyCBennett I do love google scholar when searching for articles and finding the citations. It feels less time consuming checking the citations and making corrections as needed.

@KellyBeeseck Hey! Sorry for the delay in responding! I honestly struggle with tech so I loved just using Google scholar, taking the citations from there (editing later!) and adding them to individual categories in a word doc.

@KelseyCBennett did you have a preference of professional knowledge management tool when gathering information on #CPTSD EMDR, IFS and schema therapy for capstone? Or even one maybe worth avoiding? #UBSSW_DSW

@sasha_zabelski Thanks for sharing this intention. I chose a DSW program because I had no intention of going into academia. I had not considered this as an option. Too late to change my decision being about halfway done. I do hope to read if you write an article more on this

Incorporate a message of optimism and hope into all interactions between service-providers and clients Resolution of #trauma is possible and best-practice trauma-informed care should consistently convey this message in all respects and at all levels. From Blue Knot Foundation

@FranKuehn I’m curious to what others say. I’m not sure if I would say there are many differences. I wonder if this is another example of poor definitions and terminology which I feel has been very noticeable in learning about implementation science.

A new theory suggests that some mental disorders are evolved cognitive styles that benefit the group. @flipyour20_ I immediately thought of you seeing this article on LinkedIn. A shift in viewing mental illness …sychologytoday-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.psycho…

@radicallyopen Will a recording be posted of using the app? Challenges of living without home access to high speed internet. I would love to see the app before purchasing. It looks like it would be supportive while learning RO-DBT.

@dominque_norman Being a new mom is challenging. Being in the DSW program is challenging. Combine them together and you are a rockstar! Maybe a tired rockstar nevertheless a rockstar!! Please don’t hesitate to let me know what you need and I’ll keep asking what you need!

If you have friends who just became new parents, don’t wait to reach out to see how they’re doing. I promise that they need your support. Becoming a new parent can be very isolating. #atirednewmom

@heidibil Thanks! I will check it out tomorrow. Now is the time to rest and catch up on two weeks worth of station 19 and greys anatomy. Having class back to back weeks is exhausting

@KellyBeeseck A thought Kelly, if you are associated with a NFP, you might be able to tap into this resource at no cost: catchafire.org

Preparing myself mentally before working on my #academicposter Anyone have suggestions for creating a catchy title? This part feels more challenging than creating the text and graphic parts

@DrAmyPsyD Mine always said “easily distracted”

Oof I found my high school report cards. Apparently I’m “bright” but “not showing my full potential” because I “often rush.”

"How to Find Your Power" was included in this week’s reading. It triggered the thought at the intersection of power and trauma informed care. What happens when clients can increase their #power on their ability to make changes in their life? #traumainformed

Has anyone used nature guided imagery or virtual reality aimed at preventing or reducing compassion fatigue within the behavioral health profession? #guidedimagery #virtualreality #compassionfatigue

@aimeeneri1 I made the picture from the information I was reading:) black and white words on a paper sometimes lack meaning to me.

@KellyBeeseck I saw this today too!! Love it!

I am reading and learning about Trauma Informed Care to better understand it identify ways to begin integrating into my work. I came across the 4 C's for TIC with clinical practice which started my reflection for #growth #traumainformed #traumainformedcare
