Unapologetically South Asian is a new initiative by fierce South Asian women who are also social workers. The purpose of this initiative is to educate social workers about our diverse culture(s). ⁠
⁠
Our goal is to change the way social workers engage with our community by putting our culture first in practice. We will use our experiences to teach you about the barriers our community faces on a regular basis. We are immigrants who are actively rejecting the pressure of assimilation and living unapologetically South Asian!⁠

NASW opposes the ASWB licensing exams because of significant pass rate disparities for prospective social workers of color, older adults, and those who speak English as a second language. NASW is prepared to oppose the Social Work Interstate Compact Legislation being developed by the Council of State Governments if the bill is not substantially improved to remove provisions that codify the ASWB exams. ⁠

Two states are taking steps to address shortages of qualified mental health professionals in workers comp by authorizing licensed clinical social workers to treat injured workers.⁠
⁠
California enacted a law in 2022 clearing the red tape for social workers to treat in the workers compensation system, and New York, after passing a law in 2020 that cleared some hurdles, is considering legislation — A.B. 1014 — that would modify the requirements. Workers comp regulations in a third state, Texas, allow licensed clinical social workers to assist with vocational rehabilitation.⁠

A new report from NASW-NYS highlights a pattern of financial disparities for social workers in New York State. The report summarizes findings from the 2022 “NYS Social Work Salary Survey,” which drew responses from over 1,200 social workers across the state. The analysis reveals striking compensation inequities between social workers and other human services professionals with similar scope of practice, as well as between white and BIPOC social workers. Visit the link in our bio or https://tinyurl.com/2p9eddhn to learn more or read the full report.⁠
⁠
NASW-NYS is committed to recognizing and remedying the low salary, high student debt, and racial barriers that social workers face. At Capitol Action Day on February 14, NASW-NYS and our members will be meeting with legislators from across the state to advocate for change. We need YOU there! Your presence is crucial to ensure that social workers’ concerns are being heard.⁠

For the first time ever, New York state social wor

For the first time ever, New York state social workers will have an opportunity to advocate while earning 2.0 continuing education credits at our annual Capitol Action Day on February 14, 2023! ⁠
⁠
Join us in Albany for full day of Policy in Action: The Practice of Social Work Policy Advocacy, presented by Evelyn G. Williams, MSW, Director of Policy! This program will explore how social workers can undertake advocacy aligned with the NASW-NYS 2023 legislative priorities through meeting with NYS legislators. The program is split into two hour-long sessions throughout the day, with an activity of engaging in policy advocacy in between the two sessions. The first session will focus on an overview of policy advocacy, and tips and tactics for a successful advocacy undertaking. In addition, the facilitator will explore the reasons why we advocate and describe the strengths and limitations of advocacy. ⁠
⁠
After the first session, participants will have the opportunity to apply the skills they learned through joining group meetings, or hosting individual meetings with their representatives. The second session will occur in the afternoon, after the meetings with legislators. This session will consist of a debrief as well as a discussion of experiences of participants throughout the day, and a Q & A session. ⁠

While NASW-NYS is not the regulating body of licensure for the state, our mission includes strengthening the profession. In order to strengthen the profession, it is essential that all social workers understand and work within their legal scope of practice.

With 15 years of experience as an attorney, Dan provides legal counsel and representation to social workers and allied mental health professionals, helping them to build sustainable businesses, navigate risk, and resolve conflicts. Open and free to all attendees, no membership needed!⁠
