So amazing to see the 800 social workers across both chapters who are joining us to learn about having fearlessly curious conversations in dangerously divided times #MonicaGuzman
Happy #EarthDay! Proud to be part of a legislature that is tackling environmental and climate issues head on.
I had a great time joining advocates across MA for @NASWMA's Advocacy Day (LEAD). I highlighted my proposed bills to lift families out of poverty (S.75) and expand access and opportunities for people from all backgrounds to join the social work profession (S.160).
Yesterday I joined social workers across the Commonwealth for the @NASWMA annual Legislative Education and Advocacy Day. It was great to join this event as a panelist, alongside Rep. Kushmerek, to talk about our bill, the SUPER Act!
Congratulations to Lecturer Kim Hokanson who was elected chair of @NASWMA’s non-partisan political action committee, PACE! She will lead the committee in promoting policies & legislation that support the goals & needs of the #socialwork profession. spr.ly/6010ZBJaK
Happy #SocialWorkDay! Social workers play a key role in SUD care. As part of our Harm Reduction Training program for social workers, RIZE is hosting an upcoming webinar series w/@NASWMA and @HarmReduction on family and community work. Register at naswma.org/events #WSWD2024
Check out this @commonwealthbeacon op-ed by our board member Kathryn Janiuk! #PasstheSUPERAct commonwealthbeacon.org/opinion/remove… @naswMA @nasw
I want to thank all the social workers who came to the State House to tell their stories and advocate for swift passage of this urgently needed legislation.
Passing the SUPER Act will bring a more diverse pool of people to the social work profession and empower more people to get licensed in our state. #SocialWorkers #SocialWorkMonth #mapoli
I celebrated the start of #SocialWorkMonth by advocating for my SUPER Act bill w/ @NASWMA & our House cosponsors, @Barber4StateRep & Rep. Mike Kushmerek. This bill will remove barriers and provide financial assistance for qualified people interested in becoming #SocialWorkers.
I was proud to watch my Chief of Staff & friend, Christie Getto Young, receive @BostonJCRC's Legislative Staffer of the Year Award. Christie is one of the most dedicated, fearless & caring people I know, and I am honored to have had the pleasure of working with her since 2010.
Future @NASWMA social workers studying at @SimmonsUniv and @BUSSW visited the State House today to advocate for the SUPER Act, which will help strengthen and diversify our behavioral health workforce.
Happy Social Work Month! This month we honor and recognize the important work that social workers do and how vital they are in our world. I was proud to stand with Rep. Kushmerek and @SalDiDomenico to talk about our bill, the SUPER Act to recruit more social workers. Ty @NASWMA!
We have the best lead sponsors of the #superact @NASWMA Thank you to our incredible sponsors @SalDiDomenico Rep Mike Kushmerek and @Barber4StateRep we are lucky to have you fighting for social workers and mental health access in MA
We are proud to represent hardworking and dedicated social workers across Local 509. Happy #SocialWorkMonth to our members who uplift our families and communities!
A special thanks to the YouthConnect Advisory Board for celebrating Social Work Month with us over dinner at La Cosmica. It was great to come together, acknowledge the work that we’ve done, and find joy in our shared commitment to Boston youth and families. @NASWMA @bgcboston
"...the [SUPER] act proposes increased funding for MSW student field placements, with a specific emphasis on ensuring that 50% of stipends are awarded to students of color, thus generating more equitable access to training opportunities." -Abigail Kirshner, MSW student at BSU
📰Did you read the newspaper yesterday? Bridgewater Social Work Student Abigail Kirshner had her Letter to the Editor published in the Worcester Telegram & Gazette titled "SUPER Act deserves support." Read it here: telegram.com/story/opinion/… #Advocacy #SocialWorkStudents
Proud a bill I filed with Rep. Kushmerek, Social Work Uplifting Practices and Exam Removal, passed out of the Higher Educacation Committee. This bill supports social workers' training to ensure more people enter this field. Thanks to @NASWMA for your advocacy on this bill!
