During Wednesday's Social Work Month webinar, Shelly Barnard, MSSA, LISW-S reminded us of a core truth in social work and health care: “Quality of life is different for each and every one of us.” When medical recommendations strongly point in one direction and a patient’s wishes point in another, social workers often help navigate the ethical space between autonomy, care, and dignity. Thank you to everyone who joined us for this thoughtful conversation on self-determination and medical ethics. If you missed the training NASW Ohio members can login to naswoh.org/recordedceus to watch the webinar. Our next webinar for all social workers is Wednesday, March 18. RSVP at naswoh.org/calendar.

House Bill 693 had sponsor testimony on 3/11/26. This bill is yet another attack on Ohio's transgender youth, but is far more broad. This bill would impact child welfare systems by changing the definition of child abuse and neglect, limit what information professionals can receive in training - even if the information is fact, limiting supportive data collection, and overturning conversion therapy bans. As this bill moves, we need to be ready to respond. Prep your testimony, contact your state representative, call the Ohio House Judiciary Committee, and visit naswoh.org/currentlegislation

Treat yourself—or a social worker in your life—to some new social work merch this Social Work Month! This design is inspired by a vintage NASW Ohio shirt originally sold in 1985 to support NASW Ohio PACE (Political Action for Candidate Election). The slogan “Social Workers Set the Pace” reflects the long tradition of social workers leading change through advocacy, policy, and civic engagement. We’re bringing back archival NASW Ohio designs from past newsletters and magazines to celebrate the legacy of social workers who have shaped our profession and our communities. Celebrate the past while continuing the work forward. Buy yours at bonfire.com/store/nasw-ohio-chapter/
