@LaurenB17130472 This should not still be an issue in today’s society. Advocating for equal rights is important in achieving this level of equality

@StutzEmma Educating others on acceptance and how to recognize and stop bullying against LGBTQ is imperative

[Tammy Vantrease @TammyVantrease]

@AdalineEstay It makes me sad that these numbers are so high. Everyone deserves basic human rights.

[Tammy Vantrease @TammyVantrease]

3 out of 4 LGBTQIA students are harassed at school. The amount of LGBTQ students bullied keeps rising. The NASW supports and advocates for all to be treated equally #wkusocialworkpolicy

@CaterCamryn1 It’s sad that African Americans face more serious charges than caucasians, it is important for us to promote social change!

[Tammy Vantrease @TammyVantrease]

@Britt_Spencerrr This still being an issue baffles me. Everyone deserves the same quality of healthcare

[Tammy Vantrease @TammyVantrease]

@ChristyLHinton1 @CBSNLive I did my post over this too! I feel like it is an important topic to keep pushing

[Tammy Vantrease @TammyVantrease]

The Dream Act has yet to be passed into law. A multitude of undocumented immigrants are left waiting. The NASW supports this because those that are immigrants deserve a fair path to citizenship. #WKUsocialworkpolicy

@Amanda27268701 Advocacy for the elderly is something we need to see more of. Caring for the elderly and advocating for them is just as important as child abuse advocacy.

[Tammy Vantrease @TammyVantrease]

@ElanaJo62267822 This is important, it gives the person a choice to end their suffering while not putting pressure on a family memeber to make the call in the moment.

[Tammy Vantrease @TammyVantrease]

@victoriabMSW The elderly are easy prey to suffering abuse. Recognizing the signs can help stop the abuse and educating can prevent future abuse.

[Tammy Vantrease @TammyVantrease]

The NASW social workers recognize the importance of human relationships. Since COVID many seniors have experienced anxiety, depression, and feelings of isolation from friends and family. #wkusocialworkpolicy

@kaylabrookeMSW Education is key and providing intervention to those that are pregnant would be beneficial instead of waiting until baby is born.

[Tammy Vantrease @TammyVantrease]

@StutzEmma It is heartbreaking that KY is number one. Addressing why child abuse is happening could be a key factor in prevention.

[Tammy Vantrease @TammyVantrease]

@Dreaka_3 @april_murphy15 I also did my post on this topic. It is important to notice burnout and take the time to practice self care not only for themselves but for their clients too.

[Tammy Vantrease @TammyVantrease]

Social Workers in child welfare are more susceptible to burnout than other professions. Noticing burnout is important. Practicing self care is important, the NASW states that social workers need to be aware of their limits. #WKUsocialworkpolicy

[Tammy Vantrease @TammyVantrease]

@StutzEmma COVID has had a major impact on anxiety and depression. Many school age children have increasingly faced this battle. It is something that as social workers need to be prepared for.

[Tammy Vantrease @TammyVantrease]

@leticia_ofili This is a huge issue in this country and there is so much stigma behind it. Mental illness should be taken as seriously as physical illness. Mental health does have an effect on physical illness.

[Tammy Vantrease @TammyVantrease]

@victoriabMSW Mental health services should be accessible to everyone regardless of able to pay. Everyone deserves the ability to have help.

[Tammy Vantrease @TammyVantrease]

Childhood sexual abuse is a prevalent problem. Education on prevention and signs of sexual abuse is important in receiving the proper mental health treatment. The NASW states that prevention is key. #WKUsocialworkpolicy
