W/ children being a group severely affected by mental hlth iss.-access to mental health services should be a human right(basic standard of living) & not a privilege. The cost of mental health care causes incredible financial & emotional stress. #socialjustice #WKUsocialworkpolicy

CNBC cited a study: over 66% of all personal bankruptcy is tied to medical issues. People are losing everything because of lack of funds, private insurance, and price hikes by big pharma companies. Universal Healthcare is imperative. #service #socialjustice #WKUsocialworkpolicy

There are over 400,000 children in foster care every day. Kentucky is ranked in the top 20 states in the United States for the most under privileged children. Kindship care is an important aspect of foster care. #fostercare #WKUsocialworkpolicy

Access to education is a global crisis faced by children who will be unprepared for life, joining the work force, & being properly informed as adults. NASW code of ethics outlines the importance of Social Welfare and the development of people. #socialjustice #WKUsocialworkpolicy

@CoyK_84 I agree! There needs to be a checks and balances system in place to prevent someone throwing a temper tantrum like a child and making incredibly impactful decisions with no regard for the consequences.

@RobbieMcgehee This is an issue near and dear to my heart! We had a same sex couple home that fostered with us and they did amazing work with the kids they took in! Sexual orientation doesn't hinder your ability to be a good parent!

@DavidPa86591889 This being such a prevalent issue in modern times is disgraceful. I appreciat the part of this article that noted it inhibits their ability to ultimately achieve the American dream and the fact that all of these things are interconnected just shows how much change we really need.

Female genital mutilation happens across all socioeconomic statuses, religions, & cultures. This horrific act violates Art. 5 of the UDHR-"No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment" #socialjustice #service #WKUsocialworkpolicy

@mailirose95 This has been a hot topic locally as the Fairness Ordinance has been in the forefront of local political discussions. I agree that this would help with any type of discrimination as a deterrent! Standing together for all people no matter what!

[Asia Corrin @ACorrin]

@RobbieMcgehee Pharmaceutical hikes like this endanger the lives of so many-in my opinion it is discriminatory towards a vulnerable population! This is definitely a bill I can get behind!

Bill #131: Reporting homicides when dom. violence is a circumstance of the event. It highlights the need for social wrkrs to collaborate w/ other agencies to promote the welfare & safety of the gen. pub. as well as to work towards protecting vulnerable pops.#WKUsocialworkpolicy
