@AllieCook99 Equal pay among genders have been an issue for quite sometime. Advocating and educating on this subject is a step in the right direction! This Inforgraphic lays out a great visual of this issue!

"Two-thirds (64%) of LGBTQ+ people had experienced anti-LGBT+ violence or abuse". As social workers we are obligated to advocate and educate all individuals on behalf of the LGBTQ+ community. Violence and abuse must come to a STOP! #WKUsocialworkpolicy https://t.co/EzxI4cLeOf

The NASW strives to promote racial equality! As social workers, it is our job too educated and advocate for the injustice that exists in the world today. Take a moment to look at this resource on social work approaches and anti racism! #WKUsocialworkpolicy

@courtneygray244 Attention to this allows others to understand how easy it is for loneliness/isolation to occur among seniors. Understanding challenges allows others to see the effect it has on these individuals. I like that this source provides ways to decrease loneliness! #WKUsocialworkpolicy

@Ashley95683110 Understanding the types of abuse among the elder population as well as the signs that abuse that exist is vital in advocacy! As social workers we must stay aware and current with prevalence of abuse that exists to best serve individuals in need! #WKUsocialworkpolicy

[Jessica Brown @Jessicaa570]

1 in 6 individuals 60 years and older have experienced some form of abuse among long-term settings in the last year. We MUST be aware and learn how prevalent abuse is among the aging population. Help put a stop to elder abuse! #WKUsocialworkpolicy https://t.co/PIOZgkAP8m

@MeganjudyCooper I could not agree more that knowledge does = prevention. Allowing these issues to be presented in training programs can allow to know and see signs to help prevention of prolonged abuse. As social workers advocating for children and abuse is vital! #WKUsocialworkpolicy

[Jessica Brown @Jessicaa570]

@Ashley95683110 CASA is something that I feel is very important in changing children's lives for the better! Children look to adults do be advocates for them in many areas of life. Being able to advocate for those who have experienced abuse/neglect takes special individuals. #WKUsocialworkpolicy

[Jessica Brown @Jessicaa570]

Did you know that roughly 300 million children between 2 and 4 years suffer physical and/or psychological violence under the care of their guardians? The NASW supports social workers advocacy to help eliminate child abuse! https://t.co/RULSyKwNfF #WKUsocialworkpolicy

@tessawilk Seeing statistics associated with mental health is vital in understanding just how prevalent and important mental health is. Everyone knows one person who struggles with their mental health. As social workers we must advocate and be the voice of change! #WKUsocialworkpolicy

[Jessica Brown @Jessicaa570]

@TaylorSimp03 Mental health carries stigma like no other. I believe that society has created an image of men to always be "strong" and not show feelings. Ultimately this is causing more damage than anyone can see! Advocacy is the only way to work to stop this stigma! #WKUsocialworkpolicy

[Jessica Brown @Jessicaa570]

17% of individuals between 6-17 years old experience a mental health disorder. Mental health carries a stigma that MUST be stopped. The NASW supports mental health and associated treatments necessary. HELP STOP THE STIGMA! #WKUsocialworkpolicy https://t.co/2GPtRGbRhV

@ShannonHathorn I think that universal health coverage is something that people are quick to judge as they do not understand the pros and cons of having it. I agree allowing coverage for everyone would be very beneficial and less hassle versus the many many plans that exist! #WKUsocialworkpolicy

[Jessica Brown @Jessicaa570]

@NatashaRay23 ALL individuals should have access to health insurance as it is essential in maintaining and balancing a healthy lifestyle! Advocacy in this area is vital. #WKUsocialworkpoilcy

[Jessica Brown @Jessicaa570]

When looking at healthcare, universal healthcare is supported across the NASW platform. Each individual would have equal opportunities of care, even without funds to pay. https://t.co/bvsWoyCsDl Speaks about universal healthcare and what its all about. #WKUsocialworkpolicy

@Ashley95683110 HB 270 is a vital need among the children and adolescent population among communities. Understanding and being informed allows individuals to potentially know signs of abuse as well as understand what abuse is in general! Great infographic! 💗#WKUsocialworkpolicy

[Jessica Brown @Jessicaa570]

@officialjamiej6 I am in full support of HB 41! There is a vital need to end the stigma that is associated with maternal mental health. Passing this bill would be a great start! Great infographic! I love the passion you have for this area of social work! 💗 #WKUsocialworkpolicy
