Chapter Newsletters

July 2025 Newsletter


Introducing the new NASW brand: Stronger. Bolder. United.

Together, we’ve begun our journey with a fresh brand identity that includes an exciting new logo and color palette, as well as an inspiring video that reflects our new positioning statement. It all serves to underscore the value and impact of your work. And we’re only getting started. Exciting things are happening, and we invite you to join us.

We Did It!

 

We’re thrilled to share some incredible news: Assembly Bill 406 (AB406) has officially passed the Nevada Legislature! This is a landmark victory—and one that NASW-Nevada led from the start.

 

AB406 is the first legislation in the country to place clear ethical boundaries on the use of artificial intelligence in mental health care. The bill prohibits AI chatbots from providing or advertising therapy services, ensuring that only licensed mental health professionals can deliver clinical care in our state. It strikes a strong balance: protecting client safety while still allowing for innovation in administrative and research support.

 

This is more than just a policy win—it’s a bold statement about the value of human-centered care, professional standards, and ethical practice. And it wouldn’t have happened without you.

 

To every member who filled out an action alert, contacted a legislator, testified, or spread the word: thank you. Your advocacy made a real, lasting impact—not just for our profession, but for every Nevadan who deserves safe, ethical mental health care.

 

This is a proud moment for NASW-Nevada. It proves what we can accomplish together when we lead with our values and speak with a unified voice. A special thank you to our sponsor, Rep. Jovan Jackson, and our chapter lobbyist Tess Opferman of Pinyon Public Affairs for helping to champion our priority legislation.

 

We’ll continue to keep you updated as the bill moves to the Governor’s desk for signature. In the meantime, please take a moment to celebrate what we’ve achieved together. Without your membership and your support, wins like this would not happen.

 

In solidarity,

 

Kyle Hillman

Older Americans Month 2025: The Importance of Public Programs as we age.

Chris Herman, MSW, LICSW

Senior Practice Associate–Aging

May 2025

 

In 1963, President John F. Kennedy established the annual observance of Older Americans Month, which is celebrated each May. Two years later, the Older Americans Act (OAA) was signed into law. As of this writing, many federal policies, programs, and structures are at risk of elimination or drastic alteration by the Trump Administration and the Republican-dominated Congress. This publication outlines the history of and current threats to some of these policies, programs, and structures. It concludes with advocacy in which we can engage, as social workers, to preserve publicly funded and administered programs that help all of us as we age. Read more!

 

The Crucial Role Medicaid and Social Workers Play in Providing Access to Substance Use Treatment

Makeba Royall, LCSW,

Senior Practice Associate, Behavioral Health

May 2025

 

Medicaid is an insurance plan that provides access to care to 78 million people to include those with limited income, children and families, pregnant women, people with disabilities, and people in long-term care facilities. Medicaid has not only provided access to medical care, but it has also played a significant role in access to substance use treatment. In March 2025, Congress recommended reducing the budget to $880 billion over the next 10 years, which would impact the role Medicaid plays in providing critical services to individuals with mental health and substance use conditions. This behavioral health practice tool highlights the importance of Medicaid assistance for those who are dealing with substance use disorders and why cutting Medicaid would further harm the communities in which we serve as social workers. Read More

Navigating Policy Changes Related to Schools and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)

April Ferguson, LCSW-C, Senior Practice Associate

February 2025

The beginning of the Trump Administration started with executive orders that impact school social workers, students, and other school personnel. Included in the executive orders were policies related to immigration and deportation. The administration also cancelled a policy that previously limited immigration enforcement in schools. Discussions regarding the education system’s interactions with ICE are not new and were a part of educational conversations with the release of Project 2025. In addition, education personnel have long been a source of support to students impacted by ICE raids that occur outside of schools as well. However, the administration’s choice to change the policy on enforcement in schools brings the conversation back to the forefront of the educational community. Read More Here!

Families on the Brink: Immigration Policy Changes under a Second Trump Administration

Credits: 1.5

Nearly 70,000 newcomers made Massachusetts home between July 1, 2023, and July 1, 2024, the largest population increase in over a decade. However, most of these new individuals and families hold lawful but temporary legal status that the Trump administration has targeted for revocation, suspension of birthright citizenship, and even deportation. Beyond newly arrived families, the indefinite suspension of the refugee resettlement program and the militarization of the southern border jeopardize safe harbor and family reunification for thousands of persecuted immigrant individuals and families. Join and learn about the rapidly changing immigration policy landscape and what is at stake for immigrant families.
