I’m so pissed right now

Recently heard about a teacher getting knee jerk fired for being under the influence of alcohol @ work

This is what failed addiction, mental health & education policy/leadership looks like in a pandemic

No support. No plans. No compassion

A Rant/Thread
Just people left to survive day after day, when people are hurting badly

And when they desperately need help the most

You fire them.

Leave them w/ nothing, but untreated disease

To protect a shield, a name or brand

Instead of doing the right thing
Getting people the help they desperately need for A MED CONDITION

GIVING PEOPLE A CHANCE to tx the underlying conditions

To get healthy & feel loved & supported when they need it the most

And to be brave enough to publicly declare the truth

Addiction is not a moral failing
This isn’t an anomaly

This isn’t a deviation

This is modern times

And it’s wrong

And it is the inevitable end result of not doing anything to support teachers for the last year

Asking them to just “figure it out”

Which makes this a cultural failure of compassion & caring.
This is the end result of doing nothing to support the mental health of those impacted in the highest risk categories.

This is the end result of not caring enough about people - when people need to be cared for the most.

It’s heartbreaking.

And it’s only the beginning...
