@HalieHemmerle Hi Halie,
The fact there is no law that prevents conversion in Kentucky saddens me. I am in support of ending such therapies.

@TerryStasuik Hi Terry,
Thanks for bringing this bill to my attention, I fully support giving equal opportunity to our LGBTQ+ veterans!

As a future social worker, I am not in support of SB 150. This violates the dignity and worth of a person, which goes against our core social work values provided by the NASW.

I support HB 203 that permits middle schools and high schools to require curriculum about the history of slavery in America. This aligns with the social work value of promoting social justice by bringing awareness to our country's history. #WKUsocialworkpolicy

@TerryStasuik Thank you for bringing this bill to my attention. This is definitely something I am in full support of!

[Abby Whitlow @arw_131]

@MartinPigram It is astounding that a bill like this has to exist to protect our youth in schools against discrimination. I am in full support of SB 63!

@HalieHemmerle Hi Halie, I am strongly against this idea raising the age of retirement. The NASW promotes dignity and worth of a person, and this acts against that.

[Abby Whitlow @arw_131]

@MswDarren Thanks for sharing Darren. It is our job as social workers to advocate for such policies.

I support PACE, because aging Americans deserve all-inclusive care to support their worth and dignity. #WKUsocialworkpolicy

@alexis_w_sw @GovAndyBeshear I agree, this is huge news! I anticipate seeing where this goes and how many people it will help. This will bring more awareness to postpartum depression.

@scarolynn98 I'm happy to see Kentucky attempting to improve their Medicaid program! Thanks for sharing.

[Abby Whitlow @arw_131]

I am in support of HB 592 that proposes a Kentucky Youth Mobile Crisis Response Program within CHFS. NASW states, our primary goal is to help others in times of need. This bill aligns with social work values. #WKUsocialworkpolicy

I Support H.R. 485: Protecting Health Care For All Patients Act of 2023 that prohibits all federal health care programs from using prices that are based on "quality-adjusted" life years. This aligns with the core social work values. #WKUsocialworkpolicy

@seanwku Hi, Sean. Thanks for supporting awareness around this topic.

[Abby Whitlow @arw_131]

@CarolMc012 Medicaid is necessary! I agree with your statement. Expanding the benefits that this program allows would help many people.

[Abby Whitlow @arw_131]

@HalieHemmerle @KYHarperAngel Hi Halie! Thanks for your infographic explaining why free period products in school is necessary. Great job!

[Abby Whitlow @arw_131]

@jacqf13 @karenforky Hi Jacqueline! Thanks for your infographic, it provides a lot of knowledge as to why the death penalty should be abolished. Great job.

To show support for House Bill 93, I have created these graphics. This bill would allow for victims of domestic violence/IPV to receive unemployment benefits. @chadaull4ky #WKUsocialworkpolicy
