![]() | Kristie Holmes @DrKristie This is where clinicians have to narrow their views from gray to black & white. Just like with mandated child abuse reporting. If there’s a chance harm will come (violence) to anyone, including your client- you must report. #macrosw #marchforourlives #neveragain #gunsafety Q2 Q4 https://t.co/ZzIeecroDj |

![]() | Igby @Igbydrood A1: Support legislation for sensible gun control. Support politicians who support sensible gun control. Honestly? Vote out NRA politicians. Listen to victims, help elevate their voices #MacroSW |
![]() | Social Worker @ERL_SW @porndaughter Q1: As social workers, we can advocate for changes in policy. We can also engage with communities to work towards change as we have seen with the walk outs that occurred in different high schools last week. #macrosw |
![]() | #MacroSW Moderator @OfficialMacroSW @jillbowenSW @porndaughter Welcome #MacroSW |
![]() | Kim Wright @KimMSW2018 A1- I think education is extremely important for SW's to incorporate into their practice #macrosw |
![]() | Shand Kydd @Shand_Kydd A1. Research current laws and policies that hinder mental/behavioural health access for all then advocate accordingly #macroSW |
![]() | Elizabeth Navarro☽ @rubylightss Elizabeth from Millersville University #MacroSW |
![]() | Margaret Murry @14MurryM A1: Support politicians who advocate for more extensive background checks. #macrosw |
![]() | Johanna Black @johannajblack1 A1: Advocate for more gun control, support legislation, educating people is also important. #macrosw |
![]() | Danay Hershey @HersheyD47 A1: I think as with many other things education is a crucial component. Maybe if they're working with a family, especially in their home, have them address this issue and what steps families are taking or could take. #MacroSW |
![]() | #MacroSW Moderator @OfficialMacroSW @SWRookie_RAS Welcome. #MacroSW |
![]() | Kristin B. Frazee @porndaughter A1: Fight for the CDC to research gun violence. In 1996 @NRA pushed to prevent the CDC from using money to "advocate or promote gun control." https://t.co/NYv8gpt9UN @TheAtlantic #MacroSW #EvilNRA #macrosw |

![]() | Carolyn Wolf @Carolyn65641191 In the mental health setting, every appointment I have, I ask about access to weapons. Just making folks and their families aware of the potential danger of the situation is a start. #macroSW https://t.co/yVRrXE9L2V |

![]() | Shelby Frusetta @shelby_frusetta A1: advocating for policies that would increase background checks for gun purchasers. It is definitely a multifaceted issue though. #MacroSW |
![]() | Dr. Nancy Kusmaul @nancy_kusmaul @porndaughter Common sense laws. I don't know enough about guns to talk about types and mechanisms, but safety courses, background checks- it's not rocket science. #macrosw |

![]() | Alex Ridley @AlexRidSW A1: SWs need to get involved in policy around gun control. With everything that has happened, I hoped things would have started to drastically change by now. We may have to take it one step at a time, but we have to focus on policy and gov leaders not focused on $ (NRA) #macrosw |
![]() | UB-Social Work @UBSSW RT @OfficialMacroSW: Remember to include the hashtag #MacroSW in all you tweets and replies. |
![]() | Johanna Black @johannajblack1 @shelby_frusetta great point with the background checks. these are super important & need to be enforced. #macrosw |
![]() | Kristin B. Frazee @porndaughter @Carolyn65641191 So important #MacroSW |
![]() | Loren Waltz @loren_waltz Q1)On Monday of this week, the PA judiciary committee passed a bill making individuals w domestic violence convictions turn in firearms within 48 to law enforcement. Before the bill, it was 60 days & to a relative. SW can advocate and support similar bills in their state #macrosw |
![]() | Elizabeth Roosa @ElizabethRoosa @DrKristie @OfficialMacroSW A1: An applicable law is the welfare and institutions code 5150, it states if a person with a mental disorder is dangerous to others a member of a crisis team may take them into custody and place them in a facility #macrosw |
![]() | Margaret Murry @14MurryM @michell8588392 I agree that more education should be required for better gun control #macrosw |
![]() | Shelby Clark @shelbyclarkwwu A1. Social workers should be advocating for stronger gun laws. And for having more in depth mental health screenings for anyone who is purchasing a gun. #swk315wwu #macrosw @OfficialMacroSW |
![]() | Aliesha @unLieshedd A1: We could advocate for a more strict and thorough process to obtain a firearm. Competency check...maybe an informal training to be completed online and provide proof of completion as well #MacroSW |
![]() | Kim Wright @KimMSW2018 @chelsea66732810 I agree, however I feel that people would be able to find ways around this. #macrosw |
![]() | Social Worker @ERL_SW @johannajblack1 Hi Johanna! I completely agree we need to be on board and fight for policy changes while also educating others #macrosw |
![]() | Susan Bhuiyan @direwolfb People should be have to take classes before they have access to guns. Research on gun violence. #macrosw |
![]() | Sarah Vidzicki @sdvidzic Advocate for better gun control and education Of mental health #MacroSW |
![]() | clara b. @claradoll91 Q1: Guns are too easily accessible to people who should not possess them. What strategies can social workers support to solve this problem? #MacroSW Social workers can talk to their clients in an informative manner about the responsibilities of responsible gun ownership |

![]() | Alexsis Murray @MurrayAlexsis I think the most important thing we can do right now is advocate for more strict gun laws. We can talk to our legislators about the benefits #MacroSW |
![]() | Jennifer Cardona @jenniferwood845 A1- I believe it all has to start with policy change. We as social workers need to educate ourselves in our practice and share our voices in our communities. #MacroSW |
![]() | Juliette Consigny @jconsign213 I agree with a focus on community work, like walk outs. Very effective, on a national level. And it shows people are taking action, across the country. #MacroSW |
![]() | Kristin B. Frazee @porndaughter A1: Here's some data about where gun violence is happening. @Northeastern study says "Mass school shootings are incredibly rare events" https://t.co/2zVnkZiNWo #MacroSW |
![]() | B™ @lacednreckless @porndaughter As social workers we can advocate for different policy changes to make it more difficult to be accessible to guns. #MacroSW |

![]() | SNDavis @SNDavis5 Q1: I feel that social workers should be advocating for change in policy. The process in which individuals can purchase guns as well as obtain a pistol permit should be more extensive. #MacroSW |
![]() | Giuseppina La Mattina @GiuseppinaLaMa3 @porndaughter For social workers I think a lot revolves around advocating for policies. Personally I am for background checks, gun safety courses, and stricter gun laws. I don't think banning guns will resolve the issues. #MacroSW |
![]() | Shelby Frusetta @shelby_frusetta @michell85883920 That’s a good idea I didn’t think about that, education in that way can be helpful. #MacroSW |
![]() | Alex Ridley @AlexRidSW @Jwat1207 Yes i agree. Research and data are very important for this topic. we don’t know exactly what policies to create if we don’t understand the exact problem yet #macrosw |
![]() | Sunya Folayan @SunyaFolayan Sunya Folayan. I'm a #Macrosw chat partner, getting settled in for this timely chat. |
![]() | Kmarie228 @kmarie228 A1: Social workers are in the position to provide encouragement and guidance to community members, so they can learn to use their collective voices. Those voices can pressure elected officials to support policies that reduce the wide accessibility of guns. #macrosw |
![]() | swrookie @SWRookie_RAS Advocate for mental health/better background checks #macrosw |
![]() | Rebecca Light @rll004 @porndaughter @OfficialMacroSW A1: by educating the community and advocating for changes in policy. I do believe that as social workers, and citizens, it is our prerogative to do everything we can to ensure the safety of others, as well as our own. #macroSW |
![]() | Jill Bowen @jillbowensw @porndaughter A1: Advocating our lawmakers can always help change. Being aware what is happening in the news. We need to have strict background checks to help deter the wrong person from having a gun. #swk315wwu #macrosw |
![]() | Hannah Bland @hbland33 @porndaughter A1: Social workers should be a voice and speak to their legislatures about better regulation of guns. We can also advocate for better background/mental health screenings for people wanting to purchase guns. #SWK315WWU #MacroSW |

![]() | Kayla @klteeples7911 @porndaughter @OfficialMacroSW A1. I think that we need to advocate for policy change that makes sense and is a true solution, but also reasonable and rational #MacroSW |
![]() | David McCollum @VilleBananas A1: Support the repeal of the second amendment because gun control laws seem ineffective when Americans still have a constitutional right to purchase them. #macrosw #macrosw |
![]() | Susan Bhuiyan @direwolfb There should be policies in place that ban certain guns and accessories to those guns. #macrosw |
![]() | Carrie Corrao @cacorrao @porndaughter Q1: We can use policy change and research from other countries to see why gun violence is so prevalent in our country, and what the research says about us as a culture and why we have this issue. #macrosw |
