NASW Ohio is always present at the bi-monthly CSWMFT Licensing Board meetings to ensure that we are staying up to date with any potential changes in policy, practice, or rules that will effect you. On Thursday's meeting, the Board reviewed minor updates to the social work interstate compact, discussed possible changes on how CEs are processed, talked trends on licensure issuance data, and did a deep dive on how AI may impact clinical practice and what steps might be taken to address it!

The Ohio Legislature is back in session, and decisions made in the coming weeks will directly affect our clients, our communities, and our profession.

These bills are among the most pressing. Your voice as a social worker matters, and when we act together we can stop harmful bills and move critical protections forward.

Visit the advocacy section of the NASW Ohio website (naswoh.org/currentlegislation) to learn more about each bill and how you can take action now. Together, we have the power to shape policy and protect the people we serve.

When Disaster Strikes, Social Workers Lead the Way- After the Norfolk Southern train derailment in East Palestine, social workers were on the ground helping the community move from crisis to resilience.

During our webinar yesterday Ashleigh Davis, LISW-S, shared how:

~A holistic approach to healing was embraced: from trauma-informed therapy to art, sound healing, and mindfulness.

~Local, state, and federal systems collaborated, with the East Palestine Resiliency Center becoming a hub for behavioral health support.

~Community members supported each other through peer recovery, youth engagement, and first responder programs.

This free NASW Ohio webinar reminded us what it means to heal as a community, reclaim peace after trauma, and build something stronger together. Watch this recording (and 200+ more) free with your NASW membership: naswoh.org/recordedceus

Conversion therapy is now banned in Cuyahoga County! This victory happened because social workers, community members, and advocates showed up and demanded change. NASW exists to amplify your voice, and it was heard.

Our Region 3 Co-Director Steph Ash and NASW intern Bo Demming stood before a packed chamber to testify, joining others in speaking out for this ban. Their voices, and yours, are why we can keep moving the needle for justice.

Alongside banning conversion therapy, the community also stood strong for the CROWN Act and called for accountability after a tragic death caused by a high-speed police chase. These fights are connected: all are about dignity, safety, and protecting lives.

Our members and social workers are the reason we can do this work. We need you to join us, testify, organize, and keep building the future our profession and communities deserve.
