Different ThanI get about one email per day at work (I work for a US state) telling me that flags are at half mast for a deceased police officer. I'm all for honoring heroic actions and lives, but I've looked many of these folks up and they are most often deceased from heart disease, unnamed illnesses, or sometimes traffic accidents while getting groceries. A few have died directly from the actions of their job, like an officer who recently died from what was probably long-term health effects from being a rescue worker at the 9/11 site in 2001, but there's no distinction between "died in the line of duty" and "just died like every other human will".If cops get a statewide expression of mourning no matter how or when they die, I want the same treatment for every K-12 teacher and every state-funded social worker. I can guarantee they've done at least as much good for the citizens of the state as police have, and many of them (especially social workers) have been in just as many dangerous situations as the average cop.<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/opinion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#opinion</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/uspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#uspol</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/police" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#police</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/teachers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#teachers</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/socialworkers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#socialworkers</a>

Ms. Que Banh<a href="https://beige.party/tags/RCMP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RCMP</a> issued an <a href="https://beige.party/tags/apology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#apology</a> on September 7, 2024, for the historic use of <a href="https://beige.party/tags/StreetChecks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StreetChecks</a> and other harmful interactions with members of the <a href="https://beige.party/tags/African" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#African</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/NovaScotian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NovaScotian</a> community. It was an apology too long in coming, for treatment that was, in the words of Rev. Lennett Anderson, “dehumanizing and tragic.” And the RCMP's history suggests we should be deeply skeptical that the proposed action plan will be even close to what is required to remedy these grave injustices.In his 2019 report, written for the <a href="https://beige.party/tags/NovaScotia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NovaScotia</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/HumanRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HumanRights</a> Commission, Dr. Scot Wortley defines street checks as any occasion in which civilians are stopped by <a href="https://beige.party/tags/police" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#police</a> and subjected to intrusive questions, and their personal information collected into a database. He confirmed what community members have known for years: people of African descent in the <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Halifax" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Halifax</a> region are almost six times more likely to face street checks.It took five years after the release of this report for the RCMP to apologize for the harms caused. They also committed to an action plan, developed in consultation with members of 13 African Nova Scotian communities and the Association of <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Black" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Black</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/SocialWorkers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SocialWorkers</a>.<a href="https://mediacoop.ca/node/119259" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://mediacoop.ca/node/119259</a><a href="https://beige.party/tags/CDNpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CDNpoli</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/NSpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NSpoli</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/DefundRCMP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DefundRCMP</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/SystematicRacism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SystematicRacism</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ColonialViolence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ColonialViolence</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/RacialProfiling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RacialProfiling</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/RacistRCMP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RacistRCMP</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/RacistCops" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RacistCops</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ACAB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ACAB</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/BlackCanadians" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BlackCanadians</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Maritimes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Maritimes</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/BlackCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BlackCommunity</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ColonialInjustices" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ColonialInjustices</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/SocialJustice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SocialJustice</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/BIPOC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BIPOC</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/POCinCanada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#POCinCanada</a>

Colin-Roy Hunter1/2Someone spent 19-20 mins. attempting to open the key-safe.

Michael Reeder LCPCDoctors and psychiatrists -- I'm doing a bit of research for a psychiatrist I know.Are there any e-prescribing platforms (EHRs) for the United States that have a time delay function as to when they send the scripts?I'm told that ADHD meds (and other similar controlled substances) have to be e-prescribed ONE at a time with no refills. This is making doctors who normally see a client, say, once every three months have to remember to send in the scripts once per month. Wanting a system that lets the doctor program the computer system to electronically send the scripts spaced out once per month without further manual intervention.Thanks for any and all leads.-- Michael<a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/psychiatry" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@psychiatry</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/psychology" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@psychology</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/socialwork" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@socialwork</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/psychotherapists" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@psychotherapists</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/psychotherapist" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@psychotherapist</a> <a href="https://mastodon.clinicians-exchange.org/tags/doctors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#doctors</a> <a href="https://mastodon.clinicians-exchange.org/tags/psychiatrists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#psychiatrists</a> <a href="https://mastodon.clinicians-exchange.org/tags/psychologists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#psychologists</a> <a href="https://mastodon.clinicians-exchange.org/tags/e" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#e</a>-prescribe <a href="https://mastodon.clinicians-exchange.org/tags/EHR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EHR</a> <a href="https://mastodon.clinicians-exchange.org/tags/psychologists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#psychologists</a> <a href="https://mastodon.clinicians-exchange.org/tags/socialworkers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#socialworkers</a> <a href="https://mastodon.clinicians-exchange.org/tags/psychotherapists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#psychotherapists</a> <a href="https://mastodon.clinicians-exchange.org/tags/mentalhealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mentalhealth</a>

Radical Social Worker<a href="https://radicalsocial.work/tags/SocialWorkers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SocialWorkers</a> should be accessible.In the publicly funded system, SW are often employed by orgs like mental health services, child protection, etc.If you don't fit the org mandate, you aren't granted access to services. Social issues are complex. We should advocate for more upstream SW access.We need creative outreach strategies and less siloed service approaches.
