@austinbweiler Thanks for sharing this Austin! What a great resource for the Lexington community! I hope to see more of these housing options across the Commonwealth in the future.

@JamesMTurner_ Thank you for sharing this information with everyone! I hope that this helps everyone understand the real meaning behind PRIDE for the LGBTQ+ community.

KY Fairness Campaign website outlines several pieces of legislation that will impact the LGBTQ+ community, including HB 19. The NASW supports non-discrimination policy and LGBTQ protections.

@eburroughs139 Well said Emily. We must continue to advocate for this population and policies that will protect them.

@RobbieMcgehee Gender equality needs to be addressed within the workplace. The wage gap is just one of the many examples of the inequality often seen within the workplace.

The KY ACLU has publicly opposed 21RS HB 242 that would have a profound negative impact on sanctuary cities and undocumented individuals. The NASW says that we should "provide support for immigrant victims of displacement...". https://t.co/SrAIBVwlQO #WKUsocialworkpolicy

KY has a higher percentage than the US average in the areas of disability, poverty, and independent living difficulty among the 65+ population, placing the state ranking at 45. The NASW supports "late-life wellness programs" to improve this ranking. #wkusocialworkpolicy

@PaigeCato6 This is a great resource for those who are interested in becoming foster parents, or just want more information. KY is greatly in need of more approved homes!

@AdalineEstay Many referrals to DCBS come from school faculty and administrators. Ensuring that these individuals have relevant information and training is a MUST! #WKUsocialworkpolicy

This article outlines a few of the proposed changes needed within the state of Kentucky regarding the child welfare system. The NASW supports child welfare system reform to ensure the safety and well-being of children and families. https://t.co/1FeIgjsuPc #WKUsocialworkpolicy

@JamesMTurner_ This is a great resource during this time and moving forward. Self-care and mental health management go hand-in-hand. #WKUsocialworkpolicy

@NicoleT21855716 Such an important topic and area for all moms. Education in this area should be a top priority in pre-natal appointments.

[Katherine Eversole @Katleigh10085]

This funding and allocation falls in line with Section 6 of the NASW code of ethics, Ethical Responsibilities to the Broader Society. The majority of funds will go directly to mental health services for students/families! https://t.co/NVBILE8dB8

SB 250 would require all insurance providers within the Commonwealth to provide coverage for contraceptives. The NASW supports self-determination and a woman's right and accessibility to reproductive health decisions. Here are other states with similar laws! #wkusocialworkpolicy

[Katherine Eversole @Katleigh10085]

@AshlynCrabtre16 HB 94 is needed in our state! Although many know the dangers of opioid misuse and addiction, some practitioners still prescribe them at an alarmingly high rate. It should absolutely be mandatory that all patients are fully educated beforehand.

[Katherine Eversole @Katleigh10085]

Support HB 19/SB 30 which will prohibit sexual orientation and gender identity change efforts (conversion therapy) for LGBTQ+ youth across the state of Kentucky. The NASW has long denounced this practice, and it is time that we make a change KY! #kyyouth #WKUsocialworkpolicy
