So many times I have typed out a toot, but I have no idea how to put my frustrations into words. I counsel during the day, see these kiddos and I can't help but wonder what school is going to be like without freedom to read books, without inclusion or diversity, not being able to identify exactly as they are, with the downright lies being told about history, not having SEL, taking mental health out of schools. These moms for liberty speak to parental freedoms, but freedoms for which children? I do not like the direction we are going in this country and every day I have to turn off the news for my own mental health care. I know my responsibility is to each of my clients and that is my focus. I will advocate when and where I can. However in this red state, it is falling on deaf ears. I can't even think what will happen if we get any of the GOP candidates in office. #therapy #counseling #counselingofmastodon #psychology #socialwork #bookBans #mentalhealth #therapists #counselors
