The Equality Act being discussed in Congress would reduce the chances of people in the LGBTQIA+ community being human trafficked. The current lack of inequality in employment, housing & education increases vulnerability. Support H.R.5 #WKUsocialworkHT

The NASW Code of Ethics also calls for social workers to help those in need, so social workers would support these changes!

Human traffickers manipulate legitimate systems around them(banks, hotels, social media)so that they can make $. To prevent human trafficking, businesses can adapt so human trafficking is more identifiable & difficult. Check out the link for some suggestions. #WKUsocialworkHT

Human traffickers "are denying nearly 25 million people their fundamental right to freedom" - Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. The NASW advocates for social justice for everyone, so please support policies empowering survivors of trafficking. #WKUsocialworkHT

@austinbweiler I love this so much! It reminds me of Habitat for Humanity & I'm so glad this resource provides inclusivity while setting the stage for others. It would be so rewarding to be a part of an organization like that as a social worker! #WKUsocialworkpolicy

@EmileeNealy These are shocking statistics! I never would have known this until reading that informative article. Social workers must take a stand & advocate for social justice! #WKUsocialworkpolicy

[Paige Cato @PaigeCato6]

NASW says social workers have a commitment to promoting laws, policies & programming that affirm, support & value LGBTQ individuals. A lot of this can start with verbiage used! Check out the infographic for tips on being inclusive #WKUsocialworkpolicy

@ccprater1 I love the article you shared! So many family members who do decide to care for their aging relatives spend so much time ensuring everything is okay. My mom takes care of my grandma with Parkinson's while working full-time & it takes a toll on her.

@DavidPa86591889 I love to hear that there is an entire day dedicated to the awareness of elder abuse. I also think it is great that they are educating law enforcement on this issue! #WKUsocialworkpolicy

The NASW is advocating for elder justice & is allowing free access to the "Reframing the Conversation on Elder Abuse" workshop, which has been empirically tested to improve public understanding & support for solutions that address and prevent elder abuse. #wkusocialworkpolicy

@srjohnson581 This is so accurate! Finding and keeping foster homes is so important for the wellbeing of youth in foster care. I want to be a foster parent one day because I recognize the positive impacts it has on vulnerable youth.

@Dreaka_3 Working in child welfare is one of the toughest jobs there is, and it is so easy for workers to push their own needs aside when having such a stressful job. I love how the infographic highlights warning signs to look out for.

Foster parents are greatly needed since there are nearly 428,000 kids in the U.S. foster care system. The NASW explains how social workers' primary goal is to help people in need. Check out the link to learn more about fostering in KY! #WKUsocialworkpolicy https://t.co/Vh3AgLNhjw

@lauren_wkumsw This video highlighted how people typically don’t think of elderly people when they think of eating disorders; I certainly don’t. With 3-4% of all Medicare recipients experiencing ED’s, the Nutrition CARE Act is so important!

@austinbweiler Thanks for sharing that very informative article! I did not know that 1 in 50 people are diagnosed with BDD. More inclusive attendance policies should definitely be implemented during this already trying time.

HB295 requires Medicaid providers to cover counseling costs for women who had miscarriages, stillbirth, or are at-risk for postpartum depression. Ethically, social workers should advocate for people's well-being, so support HB295! #WKUsocialworkpolicy
