@AdalineEstay This is so sad that the numbers are so high. I agree social workers need to support this community and help them feel welcomed without any discrimination!

@CasssterlingMSW @ErinWarfel I was happy to see that Lexington was banning conversion therapy. I think this is a excellent step and social workers should continue to advocate for more cities to join.

Social workers should advocate for client's self determination and social justice for the LGBTQ community. #wkusocialworkpolicy

@WhitleyBarnes10 Social Workers*

[Bethany Hukle @hukle_2019]

@WhitleyBarnes10 I agree social worker must advocate and help those facing racism and other discrimination. Everyone deserves to be equal and have the same opportunities as one another.

@CourtneyMeador3 I didn't realize this existed until this past week. I think this bill is excellent. These individuals know America as home and had been here since birth. They can make a difference and can fulfill jobs that are needed.

Racism is occurring on college campuses across the nation including ones in Kentucky. The NASW supports ending all forms of racial disparities and Social Workers can help by educating and advocating for equality. #WKUSocialWorkPolicy

@CallieFuller20 It's so important to raise awareness about the costs of long term care. Even assisted living is more than triple a monthly mortgage or rent payment. We must advocate for affordable care.

@MPFowlerMSW It's so terrible that so many elderly individuals are abused. Financial abuse is a huge risk for elderly individuals especially those that rely on being dependent on others and even phone scams. It's important to raise awareness on this issue. #wkusocialworkpolicy

[Bethany Hukle @hukle_2019]

The elderly population faces a risk for financial abuse, physical abuse, mental abuse, sexual abuse, and neglect. The NASW supports preventing Elder abuse from happening and helping victims of abuse. Call [phone] if you suspect elder abuse in KY! #wkusocialworkpolicy

@Britt_Spencerrr It saddens me that a lot of kids have had to face more abuse during this time period of covid. I agree that we should support prevention efforts and bring awareness to this issue to educate others to report and end abuse to children.

[Bethany Hukle @hukle_2019]

@ccprater1 This is a great topic to raise awareness on. Social workers need the help they can get to prevent burnout from occurring.

[Bethany Hukle @hukle_2019]

5 children will die everyday from child abuse. This is way too many. We must stop this abuse from occurring! The NASW supports preventing child abuse and helping children who have been abused.

[Bethany Hukle @hukle_2019]

In state and federal prisons 3 in 5 people with mental illness do not receive mental health treatment while incarcerated. The NASW states that services should be available for ALL who experience mental illness. #WKUsocialworkpolicy

@sarahjschlich I believe this is an important issue especially in rural areas where health care availability is non existent. My local hospital had to advocate to be able to give the vaccine in our area. I'm glad their efforts were successful and our local hospital could provide it.

[Bethany Hukle @hukle_2019]

@Britt_Spencerrr Expanding health care to everyone is very important. I am sure many uninsured individuals aren't getting the preventative care that they need or doctor visits to prevent emergency room visits from occurring.

[Bethany Hukle @hukle_2019]

Diabetics have to choose between their insulin or basic necessities. This bill will allow a $30 cap to be placed on insulin. NASW supports efforts to eliminate disparities in health service access. #wkusocialworkpolicy

@Amanda27268701 @nasw @buddywheatleyky @RepJoniJenkins @RepJosieRaymond @atticascott4ky @repwestrom @kellyflood I agree that this should be the last resort in juvenile facilities. With parts of the mind still growing this could have long lasting effects on the individual.

[Bethany Hukle @hukle_2019]

@CaterCamryn1 I think it is a wonderful idea to provide teachers with training on what to look for if a child is being abused. Teachers spend a lot of time with students so I feel like this is important for them to know.

[Bethany Hukle @hukle_2019]

NASW promotes age-friendly environments- coordinated, person centered, culturally and linguistically competent services to older adults across settings. Support SB 61, it will require direct care staff to be trained when caring for Alzheimer's patients.#WKUSocialWorkPolicy
