The recording of this March 23, 2020 Medicare webinar is now available on-demand in the NASW CE Institute, free of charge to NASW members.

NASW is committed to supporting you and the clients you serve during this unprecedented public health crisis.  We are working on all fronts to respond in a way that best reflects our shared social work values. We are pleased with federal actions taken to provide economic relief as well as new healthcare services to combat the pandemic. We are especially pleased with the significant expansion of telehealth in Medicare, given that older adults are the most vulnerable to the virus....

The Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB) has provided this useful tool for locating emergency provisions pertaining to social work licensure by state.  If a state is not included in the tool, it indicates there not currently emergency provisions related to COVID-19.  We appreciate this resource from ASWB, which they will update as new information is available.

"We are faced with a health care emergency of international proportions. As we help people in our communities, we need to search out the best available information. There are many reliable resources beginning with our local public health agencies, the Centers for Disease Control, and the WHO. I encourage you to look at the NASW Coronavirus (COVID-19) webpage for information and resources that all of you can use as we band together to do our best during this difficult time."

Registration is now open for the 2020 NASW National Conference – Social Workers Make a Difference, June 14-17 in Washington, DC. Join more than 2,000 social workers, like-minded professionals, and social work thought leaders for four days of unparalleled education and experiences.

Urge your Congressional lawmakers to cosponsor the Protecting Social Workers and Health Professionals from Workplace Violence Act (S. 2880/H.R. 5138).

The bipartisan Protecting Social Workers and Health Professionals from Workplace Violence Act is urgently needed legislation that will strengthen workplace protections for social workers and health care professionals.
