@TopperTim11 Our country was founded on immigration. Like LBJ said, we are all "descendants of immigrants" unless we descended from Native Americans. #WKUsocialworkpolicy

@KChildres04 In addition, undocumented children who are brought to the US by their parents should be granted citizenship so they can have access to federal financial student aid. Education will help break the generational cycle of poverty. #WKUsocialworkpolicy

[Kelly Foust @kelly_foust]

Dreaming of a better life is not a crime! NASW supports comprehensive immigration reform to reduce deportation and grant civil liberties to undocumented immigrants. #WKUsocialworkpolicy

@whitney_byler Thank you for sharing this information on protecting older adults from scammers. Scammers should be prosecuted for elder abuse.

[Kelly Foust @kelly_foust]

@mailirose95 Another trend is food insecurities for older adults. Make sure older adults have access to food!

[Kelly Foust @kelly_foust]

The NASW supports policies that help older adults maintain independence in a setting of their choice. Stop ageism and support late-life wellness! #WKUsocialworkpolicy

[SeniorSafetyAdvice @AdviceSenior]

Just Pinned to Aging in Place: Aging in place is getting so much easier with all the amazing technology available today. As more and more devices become available, many older adults are incorporating them into their home remodeling projects. Any why not? https://t.co/1N2bV1f4Wt

Child abuse prevention is everyone's responsibility. We must help families thrive so children's needs are met and parents can have energy and emotional resources for non-violent discipline. #NASWSocialworkspeaks . #WKUsocialworkpolicy

@kim19982012 Nor should they have to choose between affording insulin and paying rent or buying groceries. Many must make this decision each month. Diabetic supplies should be affordable for everyone. #WKUsocialworkpolicy

@CherYoungblood If children are not taught abuse awareness, they are at risk of thinking abuse is normal. HB 154 will prevent child maltreatment and save children from adverse life long outcomes. #WKUsocialworkpolicy

[Kelly Foust @kelly_foust]

@EmileeNealy @pattiminter4ky @nasw Thank you Emily for bringing attention to HB 285 that will stop inhumane treatment of women who are incarcerated and pregnant. Social workers value dignity and worth of all human beings. #WKUsocialworkpolicy

Education is a vessel to end the cycle of poverty. Students who complete the FAFSA are 63% more likely to attend college. Support KY HB 253 requiring FAFSA completion for high school graduation. #wkusocialworkpolicy
