@AllieCook99 Thanks for sharing this infographic, Allie! I don't think people realize how much the gender pay gap negatively affects society!

Are you aware of the current and proposed policies affecting LGBTQ rights across the country? Social workers have responsibility to promote policies that support LGBTQ+ individuals and families. #WKUSocialWorkPOlicy https://t.co/y29rOjSzNg

@courtneygray244 Wow, Courtney! I didn't know that it's been since 1965. It's extremely disappointing and frustrating to watch how negatively our system treats those wanting to come into this country!

@courtneygray244 Hi Courtney, thanks for sharing this infographic! It is so important that we involve our elderly loved ones in our daily lives- either by phone call, stopping by their house, taking them to see friends, etc! I think we all need a reminder sometimes!

@campbell_josh8 Hi Josh,
Thanks for sharing! I am pleased to hear about the passing of KY SB8. I hope that this bill strengthens and reforms our child welfare system!

@officialjamiej6 Hi Jamie, thanks for sharing on this important topic! The charts in the article are helpful in seeing just how prevalent of an issue racial disproportionality is in our welfare system.

This video provides information on the Family First Prevention Services Act (2018). The NASW states that social workers should advocate for resources and system reforms that will improve services for children and families. #WKUsocialworkpolicy https://t.co/XQlHFHs3Vd

@courtneygray244 Hi Courtney, thank you for sharing this infographic! The statistics are concerning and should be discussed more. The amount of KY residents living in an area with a mental health professional shortage is shocking!

[Elizabeth Raben @ElizabethRaben]

@officialjamiej6 Hi Jamie, thanks for speaking on this social issue! Your advocacy as a serving member of our country is to be commended! Thank you!

@AllieCook99 Hi Allie, thanks for sharing this infographic! Many of the statistics are shocking and disappointing. The United States must do better in addressing racial health disparities!

@nataliecubbage6 Great infographic on HB 270, Natalie! As you mentioned, KY has an alarming "history" of high child abuse and neglect rates. While KY has recently lost their #1 rank, the issue is still prevalent and we have a long way to go! I believe this bill will help protect KY youth!

[Elizabeth Raben @ElizabethRaben]

@Kevin_G_Coy Kevin, you've chosen a crucial bill to advocate for! We are watching a Fentanyl killing spree right before our eyes; it's devastating. This bill is needed to protect the people of Kentucky!
