Social Workers have an obligation to advocate for equality for LGBTQ+ populations. According to the NASW Code of Ethics, Social workers are expected to advocate for policies that promote social justice for all individuals. #WKUSocialWorkPolicy

The NASW Code of ethics emphasizes the importance of racial justice and provides guidance for social workers to promote equity, inclusion, and social change. As social workers, we must strive to ensure equity and inclusion in all spaces. #WKUSocialWorkPolicy

@ki_takes Elder abuse occurs all too often within our society. Older adults must receive essential aid in order to continue the lives they deserve.

[Darren Griggs MSW @MswDarren]

@CarolMc012 I agree! Many of our older adults rely on social security. It is a resource that must continue to be provided.

[Darren Griggs MSW @MswDarren]

Aligning with the NASW Code of Ethics, social workers should advocate for policies and programs that protect the rights and well-being of older adults. Social Security is one such program. However, individual steps can be taken to ensure retirement success. #WKUSocialWorkPolicy

Mental health is just as important as physical! According to the NASW Code of Ethics, we must recognize the importance of mental health and promote the rights of individuals with mental health issues to receive appropriate care and support.(NASW, 2017) #WKUsocialworkpolicy

@CarolMc012 I agree! This is an important step that we need to take in order to effectively achieve universal healthcare.

Universal healthcare ensures attainable health for all. According To Social Work Speaks, Social Work views healthcare as a right and supports a national health care policy that “ensures access to the full Continuum of physical and mental health services for all people"

@ki_takes I love that this is offers 24/7 coverage. This should considerably help students who struggle with mental health!

@jessica_faine @SavannahLMaddox There’s no excuse for guns to be allowed in schools despite the history of violence in schools in the country! Fight HB 138!

[Darren Griggs MSW @MswDarren]

@DuvallforKY On behalf of social work, I highly oppose HB 138 which no longer prohibits the carrying of concealed weapons in schools and limits concealed weapons in airports to those controlled by TSA. #WKUSocialWorkPolicy
