What is SocialTwerkers?

I started using the term after I graduated to describe the times when we have to adjust what we learned in school to help our clients in real life situations. Always maintaining our law and ethics, but when situations don’t fit the molds of models and theories exactly, we “Social Twerk” to make sure our clients’ needs are met. I started SocialTwerkers on Instagram in 2017 to create a community for mental health professionals to find support and resources as we navigate our field. Now in 2022 it is an LLC including professional/career coaching services.
