@AshleyC76181655 These numbers are sad. I mentioned in another Twitter reply how the LGBT community often faces higher rates of depression due to feeling excluded and different. They also have higher suicide rates and drug use rates(Kerr, M. 2018)

@WhitleyBarnes10 This is a great Infographic! I think these are all great ways to try and prevent bullying against LGBT community and to advocate for equality. Youth who face negative comments, slurs, etc because of their sexual orientation are more likely to face depression as well.

@victoriabMSW This act is so important for so many aspects of an individuals life and getting the same rights as those who don’t suffer from discriminatory acts based on their gender, sex, etc is a goal that is hoped to be reached with the Equality Act.

The NASW supports and values social justice for all, and challenges those injustices. This bill would aide in upholding this value, as a social worker I support this bill. #WKUsocialworkpolicy

@srjohnson581 The Dream Act is a great proposal for those who are seeking citizenship. It is well organized and provides many benefits for immigrants who are trying to make a better life for themselves regarding many things: jobs, benefits, education, housing, etc. #WKUsocialworkpolicy

@StutzEmma I never realized how high these percentages were. The amount of children that are placed with fictive kin is a lot lower than I had imagined. I am hopeful that something can be done to give all these children a voice. #WKUsocialworkpolicy

House Resolution 99 is a resolution regarding the condemning of the mass shooting in Atlanta, GA on March 16, 2021. The hate crime resulted in 8 deaths including 6 Asian women.

[Alex Arnold @AlexBray2020]

Asian Americans have faced more discrimination and have been the victims of hate, unfair and violent treatment in increase since the COVID-19 pandemic. One of social workers ethical principles is to provide service to those in need and address social issues.

@kaylabrookeMSW all assistance/programs they can get, so that they may be able to stay in their safe place at home. This is also self-determination, as long as there is no imminent harm that could potentially be done by the aging person staying in their home.

[Alex Arnold @AlexBray2020]

@kaylabrookeMSW Seniors do need more services that allow them to stay at home, of course if it is safe for them to. The aging population, just like any aging person, wants to be at home in their final days and not in a facility that they are unfamiliar with. So I believe we should advocate for

@ElanaJo62267822 I believe this is really important for this population. The requirements, I believe are beneficial in ensuring that the patient is actually suffering, and in having proof that they are terminally ill. This policy is about self-determination and social workers advocate for that.
