Message from Chapter President
|
This month I'm excited to share an update about NASW Florida's activities and current efforts to impact social workers and the individuals, families and communities we serve throughout Florida.
First, we had a very successful Legislative Education and Advocacy Day (LEAD) experience in Tallahassee. Looking out at a room of more than 800 social work students, faculty, NASW board members, and social work professionals was a moment of inspiration. The legislative priorities discussed were broad in scope, reflecting diversity in priorities and perspective.
Attendees were provided with legislative updates and training to prepare them to engage in advocacy around issues that align with our professional ethics and national priorities.
At our annual rally on the back steps of Florida's Capitol, we reaffirmed our professions' commitment to social change. We were vocal in expressing an informed perspective on legislation impacting access to mental health services for children and veterans, a more just and fair criminal justice system, increased housing options for individuals experiencing homelessness, expanding language to include sexual orientation and gender as impermissible grounds for discrimination, improving resources for childcare professionals, and of course strengthening protections on multiple bills that address immigration.
We met with leaders of the Florida House of Representatives and the Florida Senate and witnessed students articulating an informed perspective about these issues. Many of the bills we supported are moving forward and we are hopeful that the impact of our efforts continues to make a difference. Our work is not over, and we need each of you to communicate with your legislators on these issues. Each of us is responsible for change.
Other activities include: Our active involvement as partners in creating a consortium with membership from Florida's social work programs to develop and implement a consistent curriculum on substance use disorders. Our team has been present at the 491 Florida Licensing Board meetings to ensure our members are represented as decisions are made that impact service delivery.
Finally, we have been preparing for our upcoming Annual Conference. This time around, we implemented a more streamlined process for proposal submission review and selection, resulting in earlier notification to selected presenters. As we finalize conference plans we are excited to again host a concurrent Student Summit that is developed by students throughout Florida.
As chair of the national Council of Chapter Presidents, I have been participating in national meetings to continue efforts to expand membership and increase professional development offerings and strengthen policy advocacy.
In closing, I invite you to join me in celebrating Black History Month by recognizing the contributions of social work trailblazers who galvanized our profession's commitment to equality and justice. We owe a debt of gratitude for their tireless efforts to create a path forward in the presence of racism, unfair hiring practices, and social injustice. Here are a few names to highlight:
Thyra J. Edwards, Lester Blackwell Granger, Dorothy Height, Whitney Young, and our current
NASW President Elect, Mildred C. Joyner.
Thanks to each of you for the outstanding work you are doing to serve others.
My best,
Carol
Carol Campbell Edwards, LCSW
NASW-FL, President

Hello NASW Family,
I hope all that were able to attend LEAD and enjoyed it! I personally loved seeing all the different schools getting the opportunity to interact. I think LEAD is such a powerful moment for everyone because we are trying to fight for the same things.
Remember, March is Social Work month! This year's theme is Social Work Generations Strong which highlights that social workers have been working for generations to improve the lives of all people. Click here to learn more about this theme and its importance.
Also, June we will have our Student Summit at the Annual Conference. I had the opportunity to participate last year. I loved being a part of it and getting the opportunity to network with different students and professions!
Be on the lookout for more information regarding the summit!
I hope to meet a lot of you this June in Orlando!
Ashley Rodriguez,

Election Day
A Presidential Primary Election is held on the third Tuesday of March in a presidential election year. The Primary Election is held 11 weeks before the General Election for purposes of nominating party nominees to be voted for in the General Election to fill a national, state, county, or district office. A General Election is held in November of every even-numbered year. The election dates for 2020 are:

What is the Presidential Preference Primary?
- The 2020 Presidential Preference Primary Election (PPP) is part of the nominating process in Florida for the United States presidential elections.

- After the PPP, designated political party delegates from Florida formally nominate the preferred presidential candidate at the respective party's national convention. These national conventions are typically held in July or August. Based on the party rules governing delegate voting procedures, the party decides at the convention which presidential candidate will represent the party on the General Election ballot.

How to Up The Lovin' in Your Life!
|
By: Paty Hernandez, LCSW NASW Miami-Dade Unit Chair
Love is in the air because that's my intention no matter what day it is.
Do you remember a time when you fell in love with someone?
You were completely smitten.
You couldn't wipe the smile off your face?
Your eyes were dazed and sighs escaped your lips often?
When was the last time you felt that way about you?
Our clients come to us seeking help from broken hearts.
How do you handle a broken heart?
When Valentine's Day came around, did you fill up with joy or dread?
Regardless of your thoughts towards Valentine's Day, I challenge you to
make it your best day everyday by stating the intention that it will be so.
No matter what!!
The other day Tony Robbins, one of my mentors, popped into my inbox with a newsletter about relationships. He said, "The quality of our lives is the quality of our relationships."
Immediately I felt the spotlight shining on me as if daring me to ask, "Is the quality of the relationship with myself the best?"
I scanned my recent conversations with loved ones. I noticed on a few occasions I became frustrated with specific individuals. I kept digging and realized it was during a time when I was struggling with loving myself. About two months ago, I was filled with worry, uncertainty, and self-doubt. I was just about to make the scariest decision of my life and be authentic with my loved ones.
I've noticed a pattern even before Tony popped his question within my life and those of my clients. I heard them say similar challenges they were experiencing with their loved ones. It was as if we were all struggling with the same problem, and it weighed us down.
Of course, I never shared these insights with my clients, just noticed the patterns and how our clients sometimes mirror the struggles we're going through.
Eventually, we all came to the same conclusion that our personal wellness was off-balance somewhere in our lives. As a stress release expert, I have years of experience noticing this and so was able to nip it faster in the bud. I then was able to support my clients as they slowly came to this realization too. First, the awareness of this issue, then we began the hard work of creating goals and action steps. That's self-love.
The best gift you can give yourself today is unconditional love.
How will you love yourself today?
- A new item (clothes, bag, shoes, car???)
- Spending time with your partner?
- Watching a movie alone at home with your cat?
- Going out with friends or even alone?
- Indulge in food and drink?
- Snuggling with someone or a pet?
- Other?
The gifts mentioned above are great for instant gratification, yet how about the long term?
What you eat and drink, who you spend time with, and what you do with your time influence the love you feel inside.
Investment in yourself is another way to express self-love. This can be done through programs, retreats, individual sessions, or workshops with like-minded people who also have the intention of living their best life through their relationships with themselves.
You deserve it!!!! You deserve love beginning with you!!!
If you want to up the lovin' in your life, then you have to experience it within yourself. When you're with others, who want to enjoy life, your vibration increases, which fills you up with love, and you naturally share it with others.

Practice Alert:
Medicare's Quality Payment Program
|
ATTENTION CLINICAL SOCIAL WORKERS WHO ARE MEDICARE
PROVIDERS: QUALITY MEASURE REPORTING NOT REQUIRED
by Mirean Coleman, MSW, LICSW, CT, Clinical Manager
February 2020
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has issued final regulations for Medicare reimbursement for Calendar Year (CY) 2020. Medicare's Quality Payment Program (QPP), Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS), will exclude clinical social workers (CSWs)
during the performance period of January 1 through December 31, 2020.
Although CMS has excluded CSWs from reporting measures for CY 2020, the agency has finalized a CSW measure set in the event CSWs are added to the MIPS eligibility list through future rulemaking. The measure code set includes 14 measures identified by CMS for
appropriate use by CSWs. CMS has reported that they may reassess each individual measure on a case-by-case basis to ensure appropriate inclusion in the measure set. The measure set for CSWs is listed at the end of this practice alert.
NASW encourages its members to familiarize themselves with the list in the event they become eligible providers for MIPS during the performance year of 2021. Final regulations for MIPS may be released during the fall of 2020. For additional information, CSWs may contact QPP directly at
QPP@cms.hhs.gov or by calling 1-866-288-8292.

Have you heard the expression:
"My lawyer wishes me a Happy New Year,
but makes no guarantees!"?
The New Year marks the start of new goals like pledges to be more organized, to lose weight, to manage income better, or to engage in other healthy actions. It is also an excellent time to complete another important healthy action: conduct an insurance review. Basically, this is a security review to assess your risk exposures.
