Legislative Session 2023: Your Membership Dollars at Work!

 

NASW is a collective of social workers pooling resources and time together to advocate for the profession and for your clients. Without your volunteer time and financial support, none of this work is possible.

 

This upcoming session could be one of the most consequential sessions for Nevada social workers in quite some time. Which is why we are ecstatic to relay to you that NASW-Nevada is once again returning to Carson City. Thanks to your membership dues we have contracted Tessyn (Tess) Opferman from Pinyon Public Affairs to represent us at the state capital. Tess will be working directly with our team to identify issues and legislation that are important to the social work profession and our clients.

 

For your social work collective to succeed this session we need your help. How can you get more involved in advocacy with your association?

About NASW-Nevada's Lobbying Firm

 

Tessyn Opferman

Government Affairs Manager

Pinyon Public Affairs

 

Tess is a Native Nevadan set on making the Silver State a better place by passing strong policy that supports marginalized populations. Upon graduation from Wellesley College, Tess returned to Reno, NV to work as a field organizer during a critical presidential election. She built political knowhow and the resilience required to work in the rough-and-tumble political landscape. Making connections and building relationships landed her a job with the Lockard Group, where she started work with nonprofits and labor unions. 

 

In 2021, Tess assumed her own clients including the Nevada Women’s Lobby, AFSCME retirees, and the Human Services Network. Some of the legislative priorities she has been involved in include pay equity and paid time off, access to affordable healthcare and mental healthcare, affordable housing, and support of a revenue stream to fund critical programs in the state. Some notable successes include raising the minimum wage, expanding access to birth control by allowing pharmacies to distribute birth control medication, raising the marriage license to fund programs that support victims of domestic violence, and creating an employment board for home care workers focused on raising Medicaid reimbursement rates and passing policies to ensure employers rather than employees cover costly training requirements. She brought her talent and client portfolio to Pinyon Public Affairs in 2022 and is preparing for the 82nd Legislative Session, focusing on policies that ensure all Nevadans have equal and fair access to critical services, a living wage, safe and secure housing, and protection from all forms of violence.

LGBTQ+ Equity, Diversity, Inclusion: “Somewhere” Over the Rainbow"

The National Institutes of Health have designated sexual and gender minorities (SGM), also known as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, Two-Spirit, intersex, and other people.

The National Institutes of Health have designated sexual and gender minorities (SGM), also known as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, Two-Spirit, intersex, and other people who do not “fit” within the traditional heteronormative binaries as health disparate populations. SGM experience significantly higher rates of mood, anxiety, and behavioral/substance use disorders, suicidality among other mental health issues. Emerging evidence indicates that SGM also have significantly higher rates of some chronic health conditions, such as cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and diabetes. In this presentation, Dr. Hoy-Ellis will share how past and ongoing marginalization, exclusion, and discrimination are the ‘causes of these health conditions through the framework of the Health Equity Promotion Model. He will also offer key strategies for providing culturally sensitive, effective services for SGM, from adolescence through older adulthood.

Cultural Diversity, Cultural Competence, and Ethical Social Work Practice

The United States of the 21st century is a patchwork land of many cultures: racial, ethnic, religious, geographic, gender, age, and even physical status. Each culture has its own worldview, relationship guidelines, family structure, spiritual mindsets, and values. In their work, social workers inevitably encounter persons from cultures different from their own, and these differences can be challenging obstacles to effective, ethical practice.

The values of the profession, as articulated in the NASW Code of Ethics, ask us to honor the dignity and worth of our clients, to respect their autonomy, and to practice competently. The ethical mandate of competence includes what has been called “Cultural Competence”.

We will address the idea that some situations may make ethical competence impractical or impossible, and approaches to these situations. We will also address the benefit, when working cross-culturally, of maintaining an attitude of humility and interest in other cultures.

Planning for Medicaid Unwinding in 2023

The COVID-19 Public Health Emergency (PHE) is expected to end in early 2023, ending the continuous enrollment requirement in Medicaid and CHIP. State Medicaid and CHIP agencies will start the redetermination process for all enrollees when the PHE ends. This is a critical time for social workers to help individuals and families anticipate the redetermination process that will happen in the months ahead. This blog is intended to provide an overview of unwinding and strategies that social workers can use to help reduce coverage losses.

Grand Challenges for Social Work: Eliminating Racism Becomes 13th Challenge as Initiative Evolves: When the Grand Challenges for Social Work initiative was launched in 2016, there were 12 challenges addressing critical social issues in society. At that time, it was thought that eliminating racism was a part of all 12 challenges, so that issue did not have its own challenge. All that changed in 2020, when the initiative’s leadership added a 13th challenge: The Grand Challenge to Eliminate Racism. Full article: https://www.socialworkers.org/News/Social-Work-Advocates/October-November-2022-Issue/Grand-Challenges-for-Social-Work-Eliminating-Racism-Becomes-13th-Challenge

 

Black patients face barriers to palliative care

Karen Bullock, a professor and licensed clinical social worker, wants care for Black people who are seriously ill to be more equitable, as they are less likely to receive palliative care than white people. A lack of culturally competent care and trust in the health care system are two barriers to palliative care that Bullock has identified. Full Story: https://tradeoffs.org/2022/11/10/disparities-hospice-palliative-care/

 

 

Inflation and Social Work: Advocacy, Empowerment, Resources Can Help Struggling Clients

Gwen Bouie-Haynes, Ph.D., LMSW, executive director of NASW’s Mississippi Chapter, said her staff has been working with community organizations and in underserved areas to address the rental assistance needs of tenants because of the COVID-19 pandemic, evictions, and the increased cost of living.

“It has empowered people to really advocate for their communities, to really advocate for themselves, to know what the resources are,” she said.

“This is an opportunity for social workers to seize the moment, if you will, to impact change,” said Bouie-Haynes. “As a social work profession, we need to be louder now more than ever.” Full Article:
