Legislation & Advocacy | District of Columbia

Margot Aronson

Most of this issue’s DC legislation & advocacy report will focus on the DC Board of Social Work, as you will see below. However, social workers should be aware of two important concerns recently raised by DC Council committee chairs.

Council member Vincent Gray chairs the Council’s Committee on Health. He raised the issue of access to care at his last Committee meeting of 2018. It is not, he noted, that there is a shortage of health/mental health providers in the District as a whole, but that the shortage of providers in Wards 7 and 8 is extremely serious.

Many of the District’s most vulnerable residents live in these wards, and obtaining appointments and crossing the city to a practice in a different ward may mean several buses and more time than can be spared from work or family.

Council member David Grosso chairs the Committee on Education. He recently took part in a public panel presentation at the University of the District of Columbia Law School, focused on the effects of trauma on DC school children. In the handout package was a fact sheet defining trauma, with examples of traumatic events, signs of trauma in children ages 6 to 12, and the connection between trauma and academic performance. The following statistic may help us understand the depth of difficulty facing the schools: “…Nearly 50 percent of DC children and youth have experienced two or more adverse childhood experiences, or traumas.”

The Call to Action following the powerful panel discussion included steps we can all take, pushing for legislation "to make sure all public schools have trauma sensitive training" to provide mental health assessments for all students, with development of a mental health plan for any child whose assessment requires intervention or treatment, "to hold a citywide summit to present plans to address the causes of childhood trauma in DC."

These issues are ready-made for clinical social workers!

DC Board of Social Work Update

As I write, there are changes in the air. Over the past few months, GWSCSW members Cheryl Aguilar and Tamara Pincus have raised the issue of LGSWs being supervised in private practice settings to gain work experience to apply to their LICSW application. This has long been considered a violation of social work regulations in DC, as it has been in many states around the country (and emphatically so in Maryland). Apparently, however, the prohibition in DC has not been understood by all DC social workers, perhaps in large measure because the regulations as written are not particularly clear.

Maryland’s Board of Social Work recently made major revisions to its regulations, and now permits LGSWs in supervised private practice with some very specific limitations spelled out. Other states have moved in this direction as well.

At the same time, the DC Board, STILL lacking an LICSW as well as a BSW member, has been working to clarify and simplify regulations. So this fall, when LGSWs asked about the rules, they were told clearly and simply that LGSWs in private practice are not permitted. It was indeed clear and simple, but the result was that some social workers who had mistakenly believed the practice was acceptable already became outraged that there had been no notification of what they saw as a brand new policy.

What has happened, thanks to outspoken advocacy, organizing, negotiations, listening, and working toward solving the problem is a social work story to make us hopeful.

First, Cheryl and Tamara gained permission to present the issue at the November DC Board of Social Work open session. Our GWSCSW DC L&A committee member Adele Natter, who attends Board sessions with me, reported to the list-serve on that meeting: “Making the case for LGSWs working toward LICSW licensure in private practices, they communicated passionately about access to mental health services and about the stakes for clients, new social workers, supervisors and private practitioners. Afterwards, the Board went into closed session, and it was readily apparent that the fact that interested members of our organization and the public came to speak to the Board made a significant impact and would not be ignored.

Adele and I have found the Board to be thoughtful and in general, very collaborative. But it is crucial to remember that the Board’s mandate is TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC. That is a complex task, because at the same time, we social workers expect them to advance the profession. (Also bear in mind that they are unpaid volunteers, who don’t even get a free lunch or coffee on the day they serve, not to mention what they have to review, in between the monthly sessions.)

Next, Cheryl and the DC LGSWs in Private Practice Advocacy Committee (not a GWSCSW committee; not all are members of our Society) developed and circulated a petition for signatures. She spent time reviewing the issue with those of us with knowledge of the Board history, gaining a deeper understanding of the long held reasoning behind the prohibition.

A Step Forward at the January 2019 Meeting

On January 29th, the Board’s agenda provided time for six representatives of the committee to each make a brief presentation. Cheryl presented the petition, with more than 100 signatures. Then Board Chair Velva Spriggs, LICSW, offered an informal look at a policy the Board is now working on: clear guidance as to when and how LGSWs might be permitted to earn supervised hours toward the LICSW in a private practice setting. The document was in draft form; there must still be determinations of whether the size of a practice makes a difference, and whether a supervisor must be on the premises, and a variety of other such details.

This guidance document will not have a public comment period (a process that would take a very long time), but the Board welcomed comments sent by email. And by the time this newsletter is in your hands, the policy may be settled. Stay tuned!

CEU and License Renewal Notes

The current 2-year licensing cycle began on August 1, 2017, and will end on July 31, 2019 for all DC licensees. For this renewal period, the 40 hours of Continuing Education Units must include 6 hours of Ethics (face-to-face) and 2 hours of LGBTQ training (can be on-line). Only 12 hours of the total 40 can be online.

HIV training WILL NOT BE required for this or subsequent cycles. However, at some future renewal cycle, the Director of the Department of Health has plans to require ALL health professional licensees - not just social workers - to complete 4 hours of training in public health issues relevant to the District of Columbia. The topics to be covered by this training requirement have not yet been identified; details will be announced before the start of the 2-year cycle for which they will be required.

Present DC regulations require that all CEU training be provided by a Social Worker, a School of Social Work, an ASWB or NASW-approved CEU provider, or have a Social Worker participating in the planning of the presentation.

And here’s an FYI: The best place to check on the most current license and supervision expectations and requirements is the Board’s website (https://dchealth.dc.gov/service/social-work-licensing). If you have a question, call the Board: Mavis Azariah Armattoe, 202/442/4782, or email . When there’s confusion, sometimes Adele Natter and I can help clarify; we represent GWSCSW and CSWA at the Board’s monthly open session. The meeting is 10 AM on the 4th Monday of each month; please join us!

Margot Aronson, LICSW, chairs the GWSCSW L&A committee for DC. A past GWSCSW president, she has also served as newsletter editor and director of Legislation & Advocacy. Margot currently advocates on mental health and LCSW practice issues for us all at the national level as the Clinical Social Work Association Deputy Director for Policy and Practice.

Legislation & Advocacy | Maryland

Judy Gallant

In early January, the Maryland General Assembly started their annual 90-day legislative session. Also in January, Lt. Governor Rutherford announced $500 million of new funding in Maryland’s FY2019 budget for the opioid crisis and substance use disorder services, as well as an Executive Order signed by Governor Hogan creating a new Commission to study Mental and Behavioral Health.

We continue working in collaboration with our friends at the Maryland Behavioral Health Coalition at the MHA in supporting efforts to increase behavioral health funding in order to improve student outcomes in schools, as well as efforts to eliminate restrictions to medication-assisted treatment and other substance use treatment options and ensuring access where it is most needed, such as in Maryland correctional facilities. Additionally, we support their efforts to amend the proposed legislation to raise Maryland’s minimum wage to $15/hour to include a commensurate boost in funding for behavioral health resources. The additional State funding is necessary to support increasing reimbursement rates for community behavioral health workers. Over 260,000 Marylanders rely on the State’s public behavioral health system for their mental health and substance use treatment needs, and without the additional funding for this bill, Community Mental Health Centers could be forced to reduce or eliminate services.

Bill to promote trauma-informed approach in public schools

House Bill 256, State Department of Education-Guidelines on a Trauma-Informed Approach, is offering Maryland’s Legislature the opportunity to enact the kind of law that Margot outlined in her report, that DC Councilmember David Grasso is calling on DC to enact. The initiative proposed in the Maryland bill defines a “trauma informed approach” as “a method for understanding and responding to an individual with symptoms of chronic interpersonal trauma or traumatic stress,” and provides funding for a Trauma-Informed Schools Expansion Program. This would include developing a curriculum for intensively training teachers and staff in some schools on the trauma informed approach, which would “recognize the signs and symptoms of trauma in students, teachers and staff” (emphasis mine), ensure identification of those individuals who have experienced trauma, enable staff to learn the appropriate manner for responding to an individual who has experienced trauma and “actively resists retraumatizing a student teacher or staff member who has experienced trauma.” It is proposed as a pilot program, with mechanisms in place to assess results. I am impressed and pleased by the forward-thinking Maryland legislature on this matter.

“Red Flag” law

A “Red Flag” bill, also known as “Extreme Risk Protective Order (ERPO)” legislation, was passed in 2018 and became effective on October 1st. Passage of this bill was a part of Maryland’s response to the call for action on gun control. The law permits law enforcement, family members, and health professionals, including clinical social workers, to request a court order to prevent an individual who poses an immediate danger of causing personal injury from possessing a firearm on a temporary basis. Our lobbyist, Pam Metz Kasemeyer, informed us of a timely briefing she attended before the Judiciary Committee, which clarified that the law creates a framework to file a petition for an ERPO but does not create any obligation for a health care professional to do so. It is a tool that can now be utilized by law enforcement, family, other individuals, and health care providers, but does not require a health care provider to utilize this tool. Similarly, there is no liability associated with utilization or non-utilization of the petition process. For more complete information, you can view the fiscal and policy note on the legislation here: http://mgaleg.maryland.gov/2018RS/fnotes/bil_0002/hb1302.pdf.

We have an ethical responsibility to consider our decision-making process about whether to call police and/or petition the court to remove guns and whether this could potentially violate someone’s privacy or constitutional rights. These are important considerations for us to examine in utilizing this and other legal tools available to us, as we also weigh the potential to save lives. A GWSCSW CEU ethics workshop regarding some of these issues is being planned by Linda Friskey at a date yet to be determined.

Interested in any of these topics? Please contact Judy Gallant at judy.gallant@verizon.net or sign up online at our website to volunteer to help our legislative committee. We’re stronger working together.

Judy Gallant, LCSW-C, is the director of the Society’s Legislation & Advocacy program, as well as chair of the Maryland Clinical Social Work Coalition, our GWSCSW legislative committee in Maryland. She maintains a private practice in Silver Spring.

IMPORTANT:  VIRGINIA BOARD OF SOCIAL WORK'S CURRENT LICENSURE CHANGES AND REQUIREMENTS 

Here is the most recent update on requirements for Continuing Education for social workers in Virginia.  We still need 15 hours of continuing education per year, but even though you will have to renew your license  on June 30, 2019, CEs will not be due until 2020.  That means that you do not submit your CEs for 2019 and 2020 until 2020.  No CEs are due when you renew your license in June, 2019.  That includes 2 hours of Ethics due every two years, also in 2020.

Please note that in the future the number of Ethics CEs will increase to 6 hours, but it is not yet in the regulations.  However, the Board of Social Work anticipates that it will be there by the next renewal date.

.Judy Ratliff, LCSW, is Chair of the Society’s Legislative Committee for Virginia. In addition to her years of GWSCSW service, Judy has served on the Fairfax County Long Term Care Coordinating Council and in Leadership Fairfax.

POETRY: Appreciating Mary Oliver

 Wendi R. Kaplan

When it's over, I want to say: all my life I was a bride married to amazement. I was the bridegroom, taking the world into my arms.

-Mary Oliver

I begin with one of the lines from my last writing. It was to Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and to all of us. Words do matter!

Indeed, words matter. The words we choose can make all the difference. They can soothe. They can challenge. They can sting. They can inspire.

And who has given us such a treasure trove of the most plain, the most delicious, the most simple, the most sparkling words? Mary Oliver! The beloved poet of the people. 

She has especially given words to therapists and healers. I have been asking healers when they first heard a Mary Oliver poem. Several said that Mary Oliver is so much a part of them that they wonder, “When did I not know her?” One remembers her teacher, Dianne Connelly,  at the Traditional Acupuncture Institute (now Maryland University of Integrative Health) reciting Mary Oliver over 25 years ago. Several therapists have remembered Tara Brach reading Mary Oliver poems in meditation programs. Others have kindly given me credit for introducing them to Mary Oliver. I chuckle as I remember trading Oliver poems with Tara Brach when we were studying years ago.

My first introduction to Oliver was sometime in 1990. I was at an Ira Progoff writing retreat. It was our first day and the facilitator read “Wild Geese” to us:

You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting -
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.

I burst into tears of wonder. The words, the connection between all of us, nature, geese, humans — pierced something in me that broke me open in admiration, recognition, awe and a truth that resonated deeply.

I bought her book Dream Works immediately and read voraciously. A feast for my heart, a reminder of my lifelong relationship with poetry shone anew and a different perspective for my work as a therapist became clear. Although I had always brought poetry into my work with children, I had not done so as much with adults. Oliver’s poems inspired me to share poetry with adults and couples, even families. Which brought me to study and become certified in biblio/poetry therapy.

Mary Oliver has given us instructions for living such as:

Instructions for living a life. Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it.

and guide books about nature, humans and life. She has given us questions that we cherish.

Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?

Therapists, in sharing her words, her insights, her observations, and yes, her questions, invite clients to find their own words and questions. Thank goodness she has left these words of hers for all of us to consider and savor.

To live in this world
you must be able
to do three things:
to love what is mortal;
to hold it
against your bones knowing
your own life depends on it;
and, when the time comes to let it go,
to let it go.

(from “In Blackwater Woods”)

We will miss the poet who showed us the extraordinary in the ordinary. We can appreciate all that she left us including the reminder to take “the world into my arms.”

Please feel free to write me at wendi.kaplan@verizon.net

Communications Branch 

Kate Rossier, Director of Communications | Email: kazrossier@hotmail.com

In the Communications Branch, we have been working to update various communications pieces - the quarterly newsletter, Directory, Therapist Finder, and website. Starting with the Newsletter, Donna Dietz (our administrator) has recently made the online version of our newsletter easier to find and more user-friendly in its format. Be sure to look at it, even if you get the print version! Nancy Pines, our editor, continues to do a wonderful job of soliciting articles and submissions, as well as editing them and working with Donna who then handles the graphic design aspects.

The 2019 Directory is now being assembled by Donna. We have made a couple of changes to streamline and make this more useful, the chief among these being that we will have an index in the back that lists therapists by city. We now have the Directory in both an online version and, for those who like the hard copy, a print version as well. As this newsletter goes to press, we hope that you all have updated your profiles, as this is the only way that we can have the correct information in the print versions. (Also remember that your profile gives the information that is also available for the Therapist Finder, an important tool for allowing clients to find you!)

We will be updating the Therapist Finder this spring. We are aware that some folks have had some frustrations with it, and we would welcome your comments as we begin this process. Please send me emails with your ideas and suggestions!

Last, Donna Dietz, Mary Moore, and I will be working this spring on an update of our website. We are wanting to update it’s look and make it ever more user-friendly. As always, we welcome your comments, suggestions, and help.

Education Branch 

Susan Post, Acting Director of Education

The education committees are making plans for the spring and the coming year. In MD/DC. the brown bag committee is in the process of scheduling two gatherings in the coming months, on equine therapy (March 15) and implicit memory (April5). Stay tuned via the listserv and website. We have two new co-chairs for the VA brown bag committee: Beth Pascoe and Shauna Alonge. They will be working to bring programs of all kinds to VA, and hope that many of you Virginians will volunteer to present on your areas of interest and expertise. You will be hearing from them!

The continuing education committee, which focuses on Category I presentations, also has a new chair, Leila Jelvani. Leila has enormous enthusiasm and energy and we will all be working together to create a schedule of exciting CE workshops for the coming year. A number of programs are in the works for this spring, and you will be hearing about them soon! As soon as they are scheduled, you can see them on the calendar on the home page of the website. And you’ll receive notices from our administrator, Donna Dietz, via the listserv once they are open for registration.

As always, the continuing education branch urges speakers seasoned and not-so-seasoned to send proposals for programs that would be of interest to others. Our programs are intended not only to bring first class continuing education to social workers, but also to foster opportunity for our own members to become seasoned presenters. We have experienced mentors ready to help those who are new to presenting, so don’t be shy - now is the time to embark on the path of becoming an educator!

You can find information on presenting on our website, https://www.gwscsw.org/. There is also a template there for organizing proposals, and of course you may contact one of the CE chairs, who are listed below. Hoping to hear from you!

A Hearty Welcome to Adele Natter! The Legislation and Advocacy Branch Welcomes Adele Natter as our new co-chair of our DC

L&A Committee, along with Margot Aronson!! Adele has been working alongside Margot for some time and we are absolutely delighted she is increasing her commitment to the Society in this way. Additional opportunities are available in Virginia and Maryland. Fame and fortune await! May we welcome you in this spot in a future newsletter? In different parts of this newsletter, you will see some of the many ways our branch has been working for you recently, including commenting on the efforts of the Trump Administration to change the Title IX Sexual Discrimination Law (both through separate CSWA and GWSCSW submissions), as well as responding to concerns about LGSWs being hired by private practices in DC and the DC Board of Social Workers needing to clarify law and regulations. Additionally, in response to the issue around the Maryland State Board of Education mentioned in the December newsletter and mentioned in Mary Moore’s “State of the Society” article elsewhere in this newsletter, I have been in touch with people in the BoE who are very willing to help get Maryland regulations re-written so that clinical social workers will be able to evaluate and recommend that a student would need an additional service, such as home and hospital accommodations.

See individual jurisdiction articles for the latest updates. Be sure to contact one of us with any questions or suggestions you might have, or to join one of the committees: in DC, Margot Aronson, malevin@erols.com; in Maryland, Judy Gallant, judy.gallant@verizon.net; and in Virginia, Judy Ratliff, jratliff48@hotmail.com.

Tech Tips: tools for organizing financial data

Chana Lockerman

GWSCSW members looking to change the way they manage their personal or business finances in the new year can make use of some easily available tools to get organized with their financial data.

One of the simplest ways to map out data is to use a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. Excel comes with templates that will help to get you started. In fact, you can use templates in Excel or in Microsoft Word to create just about any document you need to run your business. You can open the program and it will bring you to the template page. If you are not sure how to find the template page, click on “file” and choose “New from Template”. Once there, locate the search bar (usually on the upper right). Type into the search bar the type of document you would like to create. For example, in Excel, it could be “budget” or “finance”. You will see a number of options for budget spreadsheets. Go ahead and open a few! Look around and see which makes the most sense for your needs.

Once you choose a spreadsheet, it is time to customize it to your needs. You can click on anything you would like to change. You can add budget items or delete anything from the template that isn’t relevant to you. Excel spreadsheets can do math! The template you’ve chosen is likely already set up to do the budget calculations you need, but if not, you can add those too.

Using Excel to manage your finances can help to keep track of large data sets without the need for expensive apps. Let the social media committee know how it’s going! And please be sure to let us know what you would like to read about in the next Tech Tops column!
