[NYS Senator Samra Brouk @SenatorBrouk]

Proud to partner w/ @LSWCSF to address the mental health crisis in NYS. The Social Work Workforce Act (S988) is part of a solution to our mental health workforce shortage– by removing biased licensing exams, thousands of social workers can enter the field & serve our communities.

What Michael said.

[Michael Fulwiler @MichaelFulwiler]

Social Work Month is a good opportunity to remind you social work is more than social services.

Social workers are also therapists, educators, researchers, and policy makers.

[Latino Social Work Coalition & Scholarship Fund @LSWCSF]

For 22 years, the Coalition has led the charge to highlight the importance of Latino and bilingual social workers in our communities. This month, we recommit ourselves to supporting, elevating, and empowering the pipeline of Latino and bilingual social workers across our city!❤️
