We must advocate for effective policies to combat human trafficking. Policy change is needed at national and local levels to ensure successful outcomes for survivors, families, and communities. Protection. Prevention. Prosecution. Partnership. #WKUsocialworkHT

[Natasha Ray @NatashaRay23]

There is great need for effective treatments to help survivors of human trafficking. The vast majority of survivors suffer from PTSD, anxiety, depression and other mental health disorders. Read the attached article to learn more! #WKUsocialworkHT

All people should learn the signs of human trafficking, it could potentially save lives! Visible injuries, unable to speak freely, and working excessive hours are a few signs. Don’t be a bystander, if you see something, say something! #WKUsocialworkHT

[Natasha Ray @NatashaRay23]

HT is among us all, women, children, and men can all become victims! Knowing the signs, reporting, being aware of surroundings, and obtaining training can all prevent HT! Spread the word and report! 1-888-373-7888 #WKUsocialworkHT

Human trafficking, aka modern-day slavery, is a prevalent issue in the U.S. It’s happening all around us, despite age, race, ethnicity, gender identity, sex, immigration status, or socioeconomic status. Bring Awareness, Know the Signs! #WKUsocialworkHT

@campbell_josh8 Hi Josh! This sounds like a great program! The community I live in could definitely use these year-round services. Thank you for bringing awareness!

@Jessicaa570 Hi Jessica! Thank you for bringing awareness to this. The numbers in the article are disturbing and sad to read about.

[Natasha Ray @NatashaRay23]

In 2019, full-time, year-round working women earned 82% of what their male counterparts earned, according to the Census Bureau’s most recent analysis. The NASW supports advocacy for policies that challenge gender inequality! #WKUsocialworkpolicy

@CarrieT51710128 Isolation is a huge issue among the elderly and covid had such devastating impact. Thank you for bringing awareness to this issue!

[Natasha Ray @NatashaRay23]

@nataliecubbage6 These are alarming numbers! It mentions to be aware of lingering staff who will not allow privacy when visiting. Thanks for bring awareness to nursing home abuse and neglect!

[Natasha Ray @NatashaRay23]

Do you know the signs of elder financial abuse and ways to prevent it? Only 1 out of 44 seniors report being financially exploited and perpetrators are usually family or those closest to the person. The NASW supports protecting the well-being of all people! #WKUsocialworkpolicy

@kylehenry1 Social workers play a vital role in ensuring the well-being of children and families. As mentioned in the infographics it can become overwhelming but with proper support and supervision the caseload is manageable and the outcomes are generally rewarding. Great post!

@_ashleyyoung014 Great post! Continuing education is vital in many professions. It keeps you up to date on trends, regulations, and skills to be used in our advancing nation.

Kentucky continues to take the lead with child maltreatment cases. Awareness is needed in the schools to help eliminate maltreatment and guide those entangled. HB 270 will provide this. NASW supports advocacy for those with no voice!

@courtneygray244 Hi Courtney! Thanks for sharing this data, the numbers are alarming for those in Kentucky. Depression is the leading cause for disability, wow! Bringing awareness to mental health needs will undoubtedly have a positive impact!

[Natasha Ray @NatashaRay23]

@Jessicaa570 Hi Ashley! Thanks for bringing awareness to the stigma around mental health. It truly needs to stop so those who need help will be more willing to seek and receive services.

[Natasha Ray @NatashaRay23]

Due to limited availability of mental health resources in rural areas, the need for mobile services is significant. Join in advocating for mobile mental health programs with House Bill 645! NASW supports access to health care for all! #WKUsocialworkpolicy https://t.co/kjP28cKZXy

@Ashley95683110 Hi Ashley! I agree it is vital that this stigma is brought to an end. Awareness and advocacy can go a long way in helping this issue.

[Natasha Ray @NatashaRay23]

@StackHollow Hi Amy! I agree and support this bill as well. To help reduce/prevent recidivism it is crucial that those incarcerated have access to these services. Great work!
