Had the privilege of discussing veterans issues on the local news today.

Human trafficking is an indicator of more widespread social problems such child abuse, poverty, and homelessness. Through awareness and intervention strategies, social workers must take the lead in lowering the number of victims. #WKUsocialworkHT

@MswDarren Great post Darren! The infographic attached is very informative and could be a useful tool for any social worker or practice to use to promote social justice for this population.

@MartinPigram Thank you for this post! The attached infographic really is very informative and easily explains the point you're trying to drive home.

@MswDarren As social workers we must use our knowledge to inspire those around us toward action for significant social change.  We also have a significant role to play in establishing social justice and equity for everyone.

@HannahWestWKUSW It is crucial that we ensure that every Kentucky school district has access to this training and these opportunities. As social workers it is our duty to promote social justice and educate students about racial injustice.

@lauren_ej7 It's unfortunate that our seniors who planned to retire and enjoy their twilight years will have to spend an additional five years working before they can retire and receive full Social Security benefits.

[Anthony Mikulskis, CSW @anthonymikulsk3]

@MswDarren As social workers, it is crucial that we speak up for senior members of our society in order to bring about positive change for them.

[Anthony Mikulskis, CSW @anthonymikulsk3]

Support KY HB260, the tax savings provided by this bill “the homestead exemption” helps preserve the homes of our seniors. While also delivering additional purchasing power to senior citizens living on fixed or disability incomes. #WKUsocialworkpolicy

Human trafficking survivors experience post-traumatic stress disorder and have an increased likelihood of developing disorders like depression and addiction disorders. Trauma-focused CBT (TF-CBT) is an effective treatment. #WKUsocialworkHT https://t.co/djxjZzDYvd

Mental health treatment for veterans is a national obligation. It is crucial to guarantee that veterans have continued access to mental health treatment. The VA healthcare system should be preserved and improved by Congress. #WKUsocialworkpolicy https://t.co/oNGBXDs4aE

@seanwku In our capacity as social workers, it is our responsibility to help people find resources. Overall, compared to other Americans, Hispanic people are less likely to have health insurance and receive preventative care.

[Anthony Mikulskis, CSW @anthonymikulsk3]

Social workers have a critical role in promoting laws that would reduce health inequalities and improve access to healthcare, especially for vulnerable groups. We have an obligation and responsibility to advance our clients' wellbeing. #WKUsocialworkpolicy

@GarryLin87 I support House bill 306 to help promote and advocate for Kentucky children's environmental overall well-being by testing for environmental hazards specifically Radon.

[Anthony Mikulskis, CSW @anthonymikulsk3]

@CarolMc012 @karenforky I fully Support Kentucky SB #45 and the abolition of the death penalty. The poor, minorities, and members of racial, ethnic, political, and religious groups are frequently targeted by the death sentence in a disproportionate way.

[Anthony Mikulskis, CSW @anthonymikulsk3]

Support HB 68 sponsored by @CherlynnForKY requires KY employers to provide paid sick leave to their employees. Social workers should support this bill, it is intended to promote economic equity in KY and enables KY families to lead prosperous lives. #WKUsocialworkpolicy

Indications of possible human trafficking victims include lack of eye contact, scared conduct, lack of control over their finances, lack of personal identity, inappropriate attire for the weather, reluctance to answer questions, and not being able to provide a personal address.
