@socialpolicy13 There have been rises in HIV rates among the over 50 crowd for awhile and its sad that the nursing homes are kinds just catching on to doing testing and other things. Sad.
My policy was the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act, to address child abuse and neglect that continues to affect our nation's children. Though policy seems to be improving, racial and ethnic minorities continue to be disproportionately affected
@KayNeely16 I think this policy would help so many of my friends here in NYC. Some of them are dreamers and they have been in this country and went to public schools and now immigration is giving them a tough time. As Social Workers we have to advocate for better rights for immigrants.
@BswBynum Wow!! Just reading this is heartbreaking! Why would these sheriffs even try to transport when there was known high waters!! also what is your stance on a sheriff transporting a mentally ill person? Wouldn’t it make them feel like they were a prisoner!
#TimesUp The Violence Against Women Act is up for reauthorization.
VAWA is vital to the safety of victims, survivors, and their communities. #NASW encourages #socialworkers to contact their congressional representatives today. https://t.co/iCPneMvJWU #metoo@NASWNYS
