@avantgame I have PTSD, ocd and anxiety—and 3 friends who've suffered TBIs. All the above took thousands out-of-pocket, to treat.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@avantgame Kids who grow-up poor in crime/gang dense areas—where's the PTSD support for them? Anxiety support for poor single moms? -
@ninavizz there's a lot of work among researchers and practitioners in that area. (PTSD for kids in crime/gang dense areas) -
@avantgame That's great—but why not just find out why police cannot curtail gang violence, and do better? Accept no compromises.

@avantgame Yr points are spot-on: we can navel-gaze at our own improvements, or come together to tackle the tougher issues impacting us all. -
@ninavizz I don't think social change is a sufficient alternative to individual mental health tools. -
@avantgame I agree on that—but the balance needs to shift so social justice gets more research & pragmatic attn, AS a public health schtick. -
@ninavizz@avantgame why is it an either or? -
@ebruenner Why aren't self-help gurus as vocal for social/systemic change as they are for self help? I agree re: balance.@avantgame

@avantgame Self-care is critical, and imho needs to be taught in schools—but its worthless if self-esteem isn't there to begin with.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
