Legislative News - Federal 

Federal update, June 2008: The Social Work Reinvestment Act H.R. 5447, the Dorothy I Height and Whitney M. Young, Jr. Social Work Reinvestment Act, sponsored by Rep.Edolphus Towns (D-NY), is a bill which would form a commission to study social work practice and report to Congress on where there may be ways to improve retention rates and meet the anticipated increase in the need for social workers in the coming years. A companion bill, S. 2858, sponsored by Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-MD), has also been submitted. Please encourage Congress to pass these bills putting social work in the spotlight. These bills have also created an opportunity for partnership between the [national] Clinical Social Work Association (CSWA) and the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) in support of the whole profession, and the two organizations have begun meeting to address concerns about the initial lack of reference to clinical social work in the House bill. Laura Groshong, LICSW, is Director for Government Relations for the Clinical Social Work Association (http://www.clinicalsocialworkassociation.org).
