For social workers in Kansas and Missouri, this is a moment of real risk and real agency. The lapse of telehealth waivers isn’t just a bureaucratic hiccup. It has the potential to undo gains in access, equity, trauma-responsive care, and community-based support that our profession has worked hard to build. But it is also an opportunity to show how social work bridges practice and policy, care and advocacy, local realities, and federal frameworks.
