In 2008–09, the Pennsylvania
Chapter of the National Association of

House Bill 1177 Signed Into Law
October 9, 2008
F
or years clinical social workers
were denied the ability to participate as a provider in certain
Highmark plans. This denial
was due to a definition included in
Pennsylvania Insurance Law which specifically prevented Highmark from reimbursing those providers not included as
a “health service doctor.” Included in
the definition were many allied health
professionals, but not social workers.
This meant that with certain insurance
plans all across the state, clinical social
workers simply could not be providers
of mental health services. Clinical social
workers were deemed inappropriate
providers. The lack of inclusion of clinical social workers in the definition of a
“health service doctor” was disrespectful to the social work profession, harming not only clients’ ability to access
the services of a social worker, but also
casting a shadow of inferiority on the
entire profession.
House Bill 1177 was introduced to
amend the definition of a “health service doctor” and ensure that clinical
social workers were seen as appropriate
mental health providers within Pennsylvania Insurance Law.
NASW-PA achieved final passage
of House Bill 1177, introduced by
Representative Flo Fabrizio, on
October 9, 2008.
NASW-PA and the Pennsylvania Society for Clinical Social Work worked
together to achieve this victory. The
passage of HB 1177 marked the second
victory for NASW-PA during the 200708 legislative cycles. With an average of
only 6% of legislation that is introduced
in any one session obtaining passage,
NASW-PA’s 100% success rate was a
real accomplishment.
Moving forward, NASW-PA’s philosophy is that anywhere the social work
profession is limited in law, cast as less,
or anytime policies limit social work
practice, NASW-PA has an obligation
to challenge and change that law or
regulation. While such an issue may not
appear to impact your specific area of
social work practice, any degradation
to the profession impacts all members
of that profession. Allowing one group
of social workers to be treated as paraprofessionals as with the current treatment of school social workers harms all
social workers. All doctors are lumped
together regardless of the hundreds of
different types of specialties. Lawyers
are all the brunt of lawyer jokes regardless of whether they are a personal
injury lawyer or a public defender.
Professionals may see subgroups within
professions, but the public does not.
Every social worker is impacted any
time any social worker is seen as less in
law or regulation. To that end, NASWPA will continue to champion issues
that advance the standing of social
workers in any single practice area with
the recognition that we are one profession. House Bill 1177 was a significant
accomplishment for social workers and
was another opportunity for the state
legislature to hear about the issues that
impact our profession.

House Bill 353, introduced by Representative Phyllis Mundy (D-Luzerne),
remained in the House Professional Licensure Committee at the end of FY 2008-09.
HB 353 will create a human services professional license within the State Board of
Social Workers, Marriage and Family Therapists and Professional
Counselors.
Senate Bill 641 was introduced by Senator Patricia Vance (R-Cumberland) and was
referred to the committee on Senate Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure
at the end of the fiscal year. This bill creates a licensure mandate for some direct
practice fields including child welfare and adult protective services. Tiers are also set
up based on criteria of degree and hours of experience.
School Social Workers
House Bill 1090 was introduced by Representative Larry Curry (D-Montgomery)
and Senate Bill 629 was also introduced by Senator Jeff Piccola (R-Dauphin). Senate Bill 629 passed out of the Senate Education Committee and entered Senate Appropriations at the end of the fiscal year.
This legislation will update the Pennsylvania School Code to define the term “school
social worker.” These efforts will ensure that professional social workers are permitted to function in school settings in accordance to the scope of practice outlined in
state law for degreed social workers. This legislation is in no way a mandate and
would not impact the designation of “home and school visitor,” which currently
exists in the Pennsylvania School Code.
Practice Protection for the Delivery of
Social Work Services
House Bill 1250 was introduced by Representative Marc Gergely (D-Allegheny)
and was referred to the House Committee on Professional Licensure at the end of
the fiscal year. This legislation seeks practice protection to regulate those who advertise or engage in the practice of social work and clinical social work to hold either a
license in social work or a license in clinical social work.
While private health insurance companies will only reimburse those who have a
professional license, legally anyone can deliver these services. The creation of practice protection for licensed social workers and licensed clinical social workers would
ensure that providers meet competency standards and adhere to ethical practice in
accordance to the NASW Code of Ethics.

Social Policy Issues
NASW-PA takes position on social policy issues affecting clients served by professional social workers. Throughout this past year, NASW-PA has commented on 51
bills affecting social policy issues — 13 more than FY 2007-08. NASW-PA continued
to focus on an array of social polices issues encompassing the needs of clients and
communities. All of these position statements are available online to members. Social
policy highlights from FY 2008-09 include:
Providing Quality Mental & Behavioral
Health Services
The effective delivery of human services is an area that NASW-PA expends much of
its time. By advocating for the provision of quality services, there is an assurance that
vulnerable populations will be served by educated and trained professionals. This
will guarantee better outcomes and ensure the most appropriate use of limited mental
health funding.
Aside from the call for practice protection for social workers, NASW-PA proposed
an amendment to House Bill 1351 which would incentivize the hiring of children and
youth staff that have a degree within a human service discipline.
NASW-PA also advocated for staff enhancement within long-term care facilities and
provided support for the Child Welfare Workers Loan Forgiveness Program. It is the
goal of NASW-PA to ensure effective services by strengthening workforce standards
among all systems involved in client health and well-being.
Child Welfare System Delivery
NASW-PA continually comments on issues involving the child welfare system service
and delivery. Aside from NASW-PA’s active role in CAPTA Citizen Review Panels,
comments were made on 10 bills specifically dealing with the child welfare system.
Legislative highlights include extending the definition of child sexual abuse in regards
to child pornography and the definition of an intermediary in adoption related cases.
NASW-PA also called for stronger standards among caseworkers within the child
welfare system. This included advocating for licensed professionals to provide counseling services in adoption related cases and a call for a stronger multidisciplinary
response to child abuse cases through the Child Advocacy Center Funding Act.
Community Health and Education
Community health and education is another area that NASW-PA has been a voice
for within the Capitol. NASW-PA testified on Representative Curry’s House Bill 47,
which would establish the Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Education and Prevention
Act. This bill would provide further education to parents regarding SIDS prior to a
newborn’s hospital discharge.

School Based Services
NASW-PA continually advocates for the expansion of school based services. Examples of this include commenting on limitations to kindergarten classroom sizes, an
expansion of special education services for non-public schools, and extensions to after
school program services for school-aged children.
In conjunction with SB 629/HB 1090 (school social work bill), NASW-PA seeks to
become a stronger voice for social work professionals within educational settings.
Defining school social workers within the Pennsylvania School Code is the first step
toward improving the psychological well-being of students.
Supporting those with Mental and Developmental Disabilities
Last year, NASW-PA advocated for the extension of autism and developmental disability services. This year NASW-PA continued to be a voice for those with mental
and developmental disabilities. Examples of this include advocating on HB 1247,
which would establish a bill of rights for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. NASW-PA also supported a bill that would prohibit the death
sentence in cases of mental retardation.
Recognizing Family Dynamics
NASW-PA values all families. To that end, this past year has led to support of bills
that promote the health and well-being of all families, regardless of composition.
Support was given to a series of bills providing benefits to grandparents providing
care to dependent grandchildren, and a bill providing tax incentives to businesses
for single-stall family restrooms to give families dealing with physical or behavioral
issues a private area while in public. NASW-PA has also been supportive of efforts to
legalize same-sex unions in recognition of the significant discrimination endured by
gay and lesbian individuals.

The Fight for Title Protection
Defeating House Bill 987
Social workers all across the state came together in opposition of House Bill 987
when the committee on House Professional Licensure convened a public hearing at
the Windy Hill Village nursing home in Philipsburg, PA. House Bill 987 sought to
amend Act 68 to exempt any individual employed at a long-term care facility and
allow them to have the ability to use the title “social worker” even if he/she does not
possess a social work degree.
Supporters for House Bill 987 argued that this title was required in order to receive
federal funding and without it, there would be a workforce shortage within long-term
care facilities. Supporters also emphasized that the “quality of care” within long-term
care facilities remains one of their priorities. However, hiring individuals and calling
them “social workers” not only seems contrary to their argument, but misleading to
residents within nursing homes.
NASW-PA Executive Director Jenna Mehnert presented testimony that included
information from the PA Department of Health, NASW-PA members, and the federal
regulatory authority (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) which made it clear
that HB 987 was not necessary and was in fact harmful to nursing home residents.
Several other social workers presented very articulate testimony that spoke to the
importance of employing social workers within nursing homes.
Additionally, after the hearing, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)
presented the chair of the Professional Licensure committee, Representative McGeehan (D-173), a letter that provided clarification showing that CMS does not require
the title “social worker” to be used. It continues to state that a facility will not receive
a federal citation as long as the individual providing social services meets the requirements necessary.
NASW-PA continues to advocate on behalf of social workers and their clients on
these important public policy issues and will continue to fight for quality of services
within long-term care facilities.

Legislative Advocacy Day
On March 31, 2009, NASW-PA hosted social works
students and professional social workers at its annual
Legislative Advocacy Day. With over 425 social workers and social work students in attendance, Legislative
Advocacy Day proved to be a huge success. All of those
in attendance clearly showed the General Assembly that

Staff continued on next page
Two practice issues that dramatically impact the public image and value of the social
work profession have been identified as requiring focused efforts to resolve:
Social Services in Long-Term Care Facilities
Federal and state regulations require a facility with more than 120 beds to employ a
qualified social worker on a full-time basis. They do not, however, include any duties
or responsibilities of the social worker other than to promote preservation of the
resident’s physical and mental health and to prevent the occurrence or progression
of personal and social problems. Other states outline not only professional qualifications for social workers within long-term facilities, but also provide a great deal of
specificity about the types of services to be provided. Pennsylvania’s regulations mirror very minimalistic federal regulations and allow for non-professionals to deliver
social services.
NASW-PA has created draft legislation that clearly defines duties and qualifications
of the employee to provide social services within a long-term care facility. This potential legislation will seek to improve quality of services that are provided for residents
in long-term care facilities and clearly define the qualifications of a social worker and
a social service worker. NASW-PA hopes to have this legislation introduced in the
2009 legislative session.
Improving Standards for Effectiveness in Human Services
Pennsylvania’s workforce standards for the group of professionals that have the
responsibility to assess children’s safety and a family’s well-being are among the lowest in the nation. In producing positive outcomes with families, children, and adults,
quality services provided by quality staff is key. At-risk individuals served by statefunded agencies need and deserve skilled, respectful, and well-trained employees
to provide services. To achieve this, two things must occur: (1) increased standards
in the state-funded mental health systems and social services workforce and (2) the
establishment of performance based contracts.
If the Commonwealth began to confront issues in workforce standards, limited funding would be used more effectively and efficiently. Through increased standards
Pennsylvania will not only be saving millions of dollars, but saving millions of lives.
NASW-PA will continue to work towards improving the standards in all service areas
to provide individuals receiving services with well-trained and qualified professionals.
The mission of the Pennsylvania Chapter of the National
Association of Social Workers is to enhance performance in
the delivery of effective services, while advocating for sound
improvements to social policy.
NASW-PA Staff
Public Relations
Last year NASW-PA members indicated that a priority concern for the social work
profession was public value and perception. NASW-PA invested more time and
resources in public relations in response. Furthermore, the NASW National Office
assisted all of the state chapters financially through the Social Work Public Education
Campaign.
Some public relations highlights of FY 2008-09 include:
• Billboards — NASW-PA continued to advertise on two billboards along the I-76
corridor of the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
• Bus Shelters — Four bus shelters displayed pictures of social workers and the
“Help Starts Here” logo around the State Capitol in Harrisburg. This provided
another avenue of visibility for state legislators and their respective staff during
social work month.
• Movie Trailers — NASW-PA member Najma Davis, LCSW, and Jenna
Mehnert, MSW, NASW-PA Executive Director, participated in a 15-second
movie trailer highlighting the social work profession. The movie trailer was
played in several movie theatres across the state.
• Public Service Announcement — Several NASW-PA members and staff participated in a 66-second PSA promoting the diverse fields of practice within the
social work profession and the Help Starts Here website. This video is public on
YouTube and will be further distributed in FY 2009-10.
NASW-PA staff and members also gained increased visibility in TV & print media
throughout the state. Media highlights include:
• Fighting for Title Protection — Two State College area newspapers ran positive stories about the social work profession during the hearings on HB 987,
which sought to amend title protection.
• Effective Human Services — Several newspapers statewide ran NASW-PA
drafted op-ed/letters to the editor discussing the need for increased standards
within the human services workforce. The Wilkes-Barre Times Leader also published a positive story on House Bill 353 and the need to upgrade human service
workforce standards.
• Legislative Advocacy Day — Pennsylvania Legislative Services (PLS), a premier media source in Harrisburg politics, wrote a story on NASW-PA’s Legislative Advocacy Day. Pennsylvania Cable Network (PCN) also recorded the rally,
playing it twice on their news channel.
• Focus on Child Maltreatment — The Lewistown Sentinel published a letter
to the editor focusing on the need for Child Advocacy Centers and outcomes of
childhood sexual abuse. NASW-PA actively participated in the media coverage
involving a highly publicized child maltreatment case in Philadelphia. Jenna
Mehnert was also quoted in the Philadelphia Metro, speaking on the need for
increased child welfare workforce standards.
• State Budget Impasse — Debates leading into FY 2009-10 gave NASW-PA
ample opportunity to voice concerns over the need of increased human service
funding for jobs that affect social workers and Pennsylvania citizens. NASW-PA
staff were successful in highlighting the social work stance on budget negotiations in newspapers throughout Pennsylvania.

NASW-PA continued to expand its continuing education capabilities throughout FY
2008-09. Because of the increasing value placed on licensure, the chapter and its divisions offered more CE workshops last year than ever, with a total of 1,328 people
receiving continuing education credits through NASW-PA. It is a goal of NASW-PA to
continue to be a leader in providing affordable, appropriate, and interesting continuing
education opportunities.
Chapter staff have continually sought out new speakers and topics in order to host a
diverse range of workshops. Interesting titles and topics from this past year’s events
included the Philadelphia Division’s Harlem Renaissance Bus Tour to Harlem, NY, as
well as Cezanne & Beyond held at the Philadelphia Art Museum. There were several
film festivals held to view current movies and discuss social work themes, societal
implications, and what we can do as social workers to better educate persons in challenging situations.
This past year also led to new partnerships in order to promote the betterment of social
work staff throughout Pennsylvania. Last year, NASW-PA partnered with the Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Philadelphia, the Alzheimer’s Association
of Greater Pennsylvania, the Center for Juvenile Justice Training & Research, the Pennsylvania Department of Health, and the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Domestic Violence—just to name a few. Overall, NASW-PA co-sponsored 236 workshops this past
year. Listings for CE workshops continue to be scheduled on the NASW-PA website and
printed in The Pennsylvania Social Worker.
NASW-PA has continued to clarify licensure requirements for members. Providing guidance through the licensure and continuing education process is a member only service.
On average, chapter staff provided at least one hour of licensure consultation to members daily.
Because of the professional recognition associated with licensure, NASW-PA conducted
focused discussions on licensure for graduating students at several schools of social
work, including Marywood University, Philadelphia Biblical University, Alvernia College, University of Pennsylvania, Temple University, Mansfield University, University of
Pittsburgh, Kutztown University, West Chester University, Shippensburg University, and
Millersville University. Through visits to schools and social work employers, NASWPA will continue to actively encourage social workers to become licensed and join their
professional association.
New Website — www.nasw-pa.org
NASW-PA launched a new website prior to the fiscal year’s end. This website was
designed to be more user-friendly and provide another way for chapter staff to keep
members informed about their professional association. This new website holds an up-todate CE Calendar providing members online registration opportunities, current chapter
news, positions on statewide legislation, licensure applications, and more. Throughout
the upcoming fiscal year, the website will host division and government relations blogs,
a proud social worker store, and more resources for NASW-PA members.
Licensure Preparatory Courses
NASW-PA continued to offer licensure preparatory courses throughout the fiscal year. In
addition to the full-day offering, NASW-PA began to offer two-day preparatory courses
for those who have been out of school for several years or narrowly passed the examination. In FY 2008-09, 22 preparatory courses were offered, serving 241 participants.

Core Values and
Ethical Principles
Requests for Professional Review
No new cases for professional review were received by the Pennsylvania Chapter this
fiscal year. The ethics committee and chapter office worked hard to close three cases,
monitor one case, and scheduled a mediation session in our remaining case.
Chapter staff interact with several members each month to discuss and dissect potential ethics issues, using the NASW Code of Ethics as the foundation for these discussions. NASW-PA staff are not lawyers, therefore members are directed to contact their
liability insurance company for information/guidance on specific legal issues.
Clinical Supervisor Screening
Last year NASW-PA created a comprehensive list of clinical supervisors. Those on
the clinical supervisor list meet strict qualifications of NASW-PA, which exceed
the requirements set forth by the State Board of Social Workers, Marriage & Family Therapists and Professional Counselors, to supervise LSWs as they obtain hours
toward clinical licensure. To date, 46 of these approved clinical supervisors are listed
online and available to members only.
Online Job Bank
NASW-PA’s job bank allows agencies to advertise directly to social workers in Pennsylvania. Thirty-five agencies placed advertisements on the online job bank in FY
2008-09.
New Training Center
State Board of Social
Workers, Marriage
and Family Therapists
and Professional
Counselors
NASW-PA staff continued
to attend every board meeting in order to advocate for
policy change and interpretation that favors sound social
work practice. In the past year,
NASW-PA was instrumental
in obtaining a change to the
regulation that allowed those
working toward an LCSW to
count hours earned toward
their 3,000 hour requirement
even if they surpassed 1,500 in
one year. NASW-PA is often
reminded that the state board’s
mandate is to “police not
please” the social work profession. Therefore, our advocacy
and constant attention is critically needed.
To further assist the growing need of continuing education credits, the chapter’s
Camp Hill office launched a new training center. The training center maintains brand
new audio/video equipment for unique CE workshops. This has resulted in 20 inhouse workshops.

The mission of the social work profession is rooted in a set of core values. These
core values, embraced by social workers throughout the profession’s history, are
the foundation of social work’s unique purpose and perspective. Members are the
foundation and strength of our professional association. NASW-PA would like to
thank all of its members, with its longest standing listed below…

The National Association of Social Workers (NASW) is the largest membership association for professional social workers. In Pennsylvania (NASW-PA),
we represent 6,200 members in order to enhance the professional growth
and development of social workers, to create and maintain social work standards, and to advance sound social policies.
NASW members are educated and trained professionals working in fields
such as mental health therapy, school social work, child welfare, community organizing, public welfare, policy development, hospice care, substance
abuse and prevention, gerontology, hospitals, crisis intervention, and much
more. NASW-PA works to unite these diverse professionals in order to mobilize a significant number to advocate for policy, legislative, and regulatory
change that best enables professional social workers to serve their clients.
