UGA SSW Faculty Statement on Social Justice

University of Georgia School of Social Work FACULTY STATEMENT ON SOCIAL JUSTICE

Developed through a collaborative and synthetic faculty discussion process. At the UGA School of Social Work, we believe social justice occurs when systems of all sizes (individuals, families, communities) are able, safely and dependably, to obtain the civil and human rights and resources they need to thrive. These include but are not limited to health, economic growth, social rights, equity, inclusion, safety, freedom to move about the world; social support, food security, a clean environment, education, employment, childcare and housing. Eliminating social injustice is central to our work as social workers, requires brave and assertive action and effort, and must be present in all we do and say. The School of Social Work advocates for social justice by fighting for the rights of people and communities, particularly those who have experienced marginalization, stigma, discrimination, and oppression of any form. We partner with communities in Georgia and around the world to embrace and speak truth to power and privilege and to promote change for social justice in our classrooms, our research, and our service.

Care and Social Justice in Response to COVID-19 — Llewellyn J. Cornelius

CARE, SOCIAL JUSTICE AND COMPASSION IN RESPONSE TO COVID-19 Llewellyn J. Cornelius, PhD Donald L. Hollowell Distinguished Professor of Social Justice and Civil Rights Studies Director, Center for Social Justice, Human and Civil Rights

write this essay in honor of the spirit of Langston Hughes' character Jesse B Semple (also known as Simple), who spoke plainly in the 1940s Chicago Defender—an African American newspaper—about what was on the everyday persons’ mind. In that vein, this essay focuses on what everyday people are crying out to us about, what they need from us NOW as they are coping with COVID-19 as well as what all of us can do to help. What am I hearing from everyday people? Or to quote Chris Tucker, "Do you hear the words that are coming out of my mouth?" This is what I recently heard from someone living in a small low resource rural community that is highly impacted by the coronavirus. “What are you doing right now to help me eat, help me keep my job and help me not get evicted from my apartment?” In the same conversation, they said that they were “afraid to answer their phone because of COVID.” Because they are afraid, they will hear that “yet another person they personally know of” has just died from the coronavirus. At the same time, “they can’t go to that funeral” and “will never get to see their body.” When I asked further, they responded by saying

that they and others in their community "feel awful that they can’t be with their loved ones who are isolated by themselves in hospitals or a quarantine site.” During the same week, I heard another cry for help. I was on a 90 minute regularly scheduled monthly conference call with more than 50 mostly older adults across the U.S. that focused on planning cultural activities in their communities. After 83 minutes passed on this Zoom call, without a single question or comment from the leadership team about how individuals on the call were dealing with COVID-19, an upset community partner interjected: “I just had five people die in my community, and I can't believe we are on this call carrying on like business as usual.” What ensued was 10 minutes of defensive responses from the leadership team, followed by deflecting from the issue presented by the upset caller, which clearly showed that the leadership team was far more concerned about their organizational planning activity then they were about the pain that everyday people were feeling then. I know these observations are not unique to me as we hear these same cries for help in

Care and Social Justice in Response to COVID-19 — Llewellyn J. Cornelius

our work, on the TV media, and on social media. The underlying message being conveyed is this is NOT business as usual. In effect, we are ALL being asked by these everyday people: Are we listening with our hearts instead of our heads??? What appears to be coming out of these cries for help is that people are afraid, overwhelmed, and stressed out, and worried about their basic human needs. They are worried about going hungry. They are worried about being evicted or worried about getting sick.They are overwhelmed by the loss of those dear to them or being hindered from being with them in the hospital or nursing home and overwhelmed by the loss of many of the priceless things that we all take for granted like simple hugs, real live threedimensional encounters, like simply being able to congregate anywhere.

In response to these cries, maybe we need to ask ourselves as helping professionals, are we balancing basic mindfulness/ self-nurturance with being “present” for others? Are we also telling other everyday people that WE all need to take care of ourselves and each other? When someone is being evicted, they do not want to hear about our next project, peer review article, grant, or presentation. Around the world, WE are being tested to “do” as opposed to “theorize, conceptualize and talk.” Yes, while social justice is about empowerment, liberation, advocacy, agitation and so on, it is also about being emotionally present and compassionate in response to the tidal wave of requests for our compassion and concrete basic assistance that we are experiencing. 

Clinical Response to COVID-19 — Kate Morrissey Stahl

CLINICAL RESPONSE TO COVID-19 Kate Morrissey Stahl, PhD, LCSW, CST Clinical Assistant Professor

As the COVID-19 crisis hit, the School of Social Work faculty decided that our social justice mission meant that we had a responsibility to consider how best to respond in ways that would be supportive to our students and our communities.

e began to appreciate the array of specialties in our community, how we might learn from one another, and how each could be mobilized to serve the wider community. Clinical social work is my specialty, so I will share some of the work we did in this capacity. COVID-19 made even more obvious deep disparities in healthcare access and challenges for well-being. In Athens, the behavioral health community rallied around three groups: medical workers, small business owners, and vulnerable populations. Early efforts on a local clinical therapist listserv included gathering a list of providers to support healthcare workers on a sliding scale as needed. In a second wave, the suicide of a prominent Athenian businesswoman galvanized reflection on how to support small business owners. That week, there was significant discussion on a local therapist page. In addition, the dean called a meeting with the local chamber of commerce. A group of social work faculty, the dean, and a

representative from the chamber discussed ways to support the business and nonprofit communities. We gathered names of sliding-scale providers for small business owners, the field office considered creating small support groups, and others reflected on employee assistance programs. As the pandemic wore on, there was increasing need for clinical referrals and Employee Assistance Program referrals. In my clinical life, I made time to expand support for vulnerable populations, including healthcare providers. In the field, clinical work shifted by moving online. This shift happened quickly even at larger clinics and at a training clinic that I supervise. This shift to online was especially important for providing support to another group I serve extensively: the LGBTQ population. Suddenly, my clients receiving gender affirmation treatment were slowing down the treatment as some services were considered elective. Clients who had moved away from home or had tenuous relationships with their families were considering whether and how to

Clinical Response to COVID-19 — Kate Morrissey Stahl

connect. On the other side, people who had been single for years were seeking out sex therapy services during the pause provided by the pandemic as the isolation they experienced in social distancing made them realize they did want sexual relationships in their lives. COVID-19 impacted different groups differently, shifting life in both welcome and unwelcome directions. Students also have been worried about the job market. I explored the question of hiring students after graduation and hired a graduate to provide sliding scale therapy under my supervision at the clinic I own. In addition, we offer donation-based yoga in this space, and spent time as a group becoming more educated on traumainformed approaches to yoga, including active anti-oppressive approaches in the definition of trauma-informed. A current MSW student interested in trauma and yoga joined the book club after he expressed his overall interest to me. The yoga side of the clinic works primarily by donation, so as we worked to decide about when to safely open, we also considered how to continue our mission to share valuable mindfulness practices in affordable and safe ways with the community. We also listed our clinic on a design site shared by Associate Professor Kristina Jaskyte. Thanks to our diverse faculty, we received much helpful advice about how to pivot in response to the pandemic. With all of these upheavals, I considered and discussed with colleagues how to expand questions of healthcare disparities and cultural trauma in the class on behavioral methods. If clinicians are offering services that do not situate the individual in their social context in meaningful ways, including addressing the problem of white supremacy with white clients, they are missing out on a crucial

UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA SCHOOL OF SOCIAL WORK | SSW.UGA.EDU

element of addressing human suffering. It is also an ethical responsibility of social workers to respond to social justice issues in our communities and countries. For that reason, clinical social workers in Athens and faculty members circulated petitions and spoke at a town hall in support of a proposal by two commissioners in Athens to increase social service options and decrease police interventions so that relatively minor infractions would be less likely to escalate to violence. The School of Social Work provides a clinical education that emphasizes the impact of social oppression and need for social responsibility while also understanding the individual manifestations of these forces. As protests move through the country; as the drumbeat of violence against people of color grows louder; as a white woman threatens a Black man in Central Park with calling the police and emphasizing his race; as police suffocate George Floyd in full view; as Rayshard Brooks is killed by police in Atlanta: the need for change is obvious. We see a unique opportunity and responsibility to provide support and community as we work toward that change. 

Social Work Responds to Racism SCHOOL OF SOCIAL WORK STATEMENT ON RACISM AND SOCIAL JUSTICE The School of Social Work condemns racism and the callous acts of violence behind the killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and other African Americans. We mourn their deaths. We are committed to seeking racial justice and to actions that make positive change happen. We are committed to these actions with broad input and ongoing collaboration and dialogue. We are committed to ensuring that “social justice” is more than a phrase on our website. It is the focus of our mission. We strongly support our professional organization, the National Association of Social Workers, and its condemnation of lethal police force against unarmed African Americans. We also strongly support our educational accreditation body, the Council on Social Work Education, and its Statement of Social Justice and the Society for Social Work and Research’s Call and Commitment to Ending Police Brutality, Racial Injustice, and White Supremacy.

THE INTERSECTION OF AGEISM AND RACISM IN A COVID-19 ERA Tiffany Washington, PhD Associate Professor, Interim PhD Program Director The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored two issues that social workers must address with urgency: ageism and racism.

geism represents biased beliefs or attitudes toward an individual or a group of people based on age. As cases of coronavirus in the U.S. first emerged, so did a very concerning narrative that only “old people” were the at-risk group of COVID-19. Indeed, the CDC reports “Older adults and people of any age who have serious underlying medical conditions may be at higher risk for more serious complications from COVID-19.”1 We also know that “8 out of 10 deaths reported in the U.S. have been in adults 65 years old and older.”2 However, the problem was the narrative gave people the impression that just older adults were susceptible to coronavirus. Such a narrative likely influenced the behaviors of younger people who did not see themselves at risk for the disease (i.e., largely influenced by early reports on the fatality rate of the virus in China). The fact that “boomer remover” as a COVID-19 moniker was trending on social media is a reflection of ageist beliefs people hold toward older adults. But there was also ageist language toward younger adults. For several days, headlining

UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA SCHOOL OF SOCIAL WORK | SSW.UGA.EDU

the media were reports of younger adults hanging out on beaches and enjoying their spring breaks totally oblivious to the COVID-19 risks. Indeed, their behaviors went against stay-at-home and social distancing recommendations, and it’s unfortunate that some college students tested positive after going on spring break.3 However, younger adults were not the only individuals defying those recommendations, and they expressed their frustration against older adults on social media for weeks.4 Meanwhile, media reports are capitalized on this contention by pitting Millennials against Baby Boomers and vice versa.5 Further complicating risk-related myths is what scholar and law professor Kimberlé Crenshaw referred to as the “fatal intersection of racism and ageism” in a coronavirus era. African Americans and older adults began to represent a disproportionate number of coronavirus cases.6 Instead of acknowledging the social determinants that relate to health disparities, the narrative shifted once again to older African Americans as the sole at-risk group.

Agesim and Racism in a COVID-19 Era — Tiffany Washington

Ageism and racism are injustices. Exposing society’s ageist and racist beliefs is an important call to action for social workers. As a starting point, social workers must examine their own age- and race-related biases, and consider how these biases are barriers to equity in health care. Also, social workers are positioned to shift conversations to focus on the many social determinants (i.e., the social and economic conditions of one’s environment)7 that exacerbate health-related disparities and injustices. I am currently examining these topics in a qualitative study with health care social workers about their scope of practice during COVID-19. Among the questions asked include their perspectives about observed injustices during the COVID-19 pandemic (e.g., the potential rationing of healthcare based on age). Ageism and racism are not new issues. Still, the COVID-19 crisis has highlighted the

tendency to make assumptions about one’s value based on age or race. Social workers play an important role in facilitating discussions and pursuing policies toward ending these pervasive issues.  References Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. (2020, June 25).

Addressing the Policing Crisis — Michael Robinson

ADDRESSING THE POLICING CRISIS: MICHAEL ROBINSON LOOKS AT THE LETHAL USE OF FORCE AND NEEDED CHANGES Michael A. Robinson, PhD Associate Professor, MSW Admissions Coordinator, Director, Northern Ireland Studies Away Program by Laurie Anderson

ven after the Ferguson riots, it didn’t occur to Michael Robinson to research the frequency of police killings of unarmed Blacks. The African American academic was not studying law enforcement practices, but a brief encounter with a total stranger changed the direction of his research. “A student who I’d never seen before, a young African American male, came up to me and said, ‘What are you doing about these police killings of Black men?’ “And I said, ‘What do you mean?’ “He said, ‘That’s what I thought.’ And then he walked away.” Robinson never saw the man again, but the conversation bothered him so much that after he joined the faculty of the School of Social Work at the University of Georgia in 2015 he began a new line of inquiry. Robinson wondered how the incidence of police killings of civilians compared across races. He started looking for statistics, but could not find a reliable database anywhere on the subject. Of 18,000 police agencies in

UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA SCHOOL OF SOCIAL WORK | SSW.UGA.EDU

the U.S. only 2%-3% reported to any type of database, and did so voluntarily. “The only way to find out about it was through the newspapers,” he said. Two newspapers – the Washington Post and the United Kingdom’s Guardian – were tracking police-involved deaths in the U.S., but their data differed for the same periods. It took Robinson and two student assistants months of comparing the data and combing through other news sources to get a reasonably reliable accounting for a single year – 2015. The data showed that unarmed African American men were being killed by police at almost five times the rate of unarmed white men, despite being roughly 7% of the U.S. population. “Then I started noticing a pattern,” said Robinson. The largest number of killings of unarmed Blacks by police were in former slave-holding states. The deaths were highest in Maryland and Virginia, states that originated restrictive laws known as Black Codes. The laws were directed at

newly freed Blacks after the Civil War and enforced by white police. In the North, police historically focused on the impoverished communities of immigrants, but they also targeted Blacks. For more than a century in both regions, law agencies chose physical force first to maintain control over poor areas. Today’s law enforcement practices still reflect this mindset to various degrees, said Robinson. The Council on Social Work Education’s Conference on Racial Ethnic and Cultural Diversity recognized Robinson’s 2017 paper, “Black Bodies on the Ground: Policing Disparities in the African American Community,” with its Most Impactful Article award. With Sharon E. Moore and A. Christson Adedoyin he co-edited the 2018 book “Police and the Unarmed Black Male Crisis: Advancing Effective Prevention Strategies” (Routledge).

Is such reporting mandatory now? I am not aware of any national legislation to make mandatory reporting of deaths of citizens by police. This January the FBI launched the National Use-of-Force Data Collection program, which invites participation from all law enforcement agencies, but participation is voluntary. Should police departments be abolished? I don’t believe they should be abolished, but I do believe that instead of spending a lot of money on militarizing police departments, funding should go into social programming in the neighborhoods. Funding should be put into after-school programs for kids. There should be incentives to have companies build businesses in poor areas and hire residents. You need more community policing that puts police of color in neighborhoods of color, walking or biking a beat as opposed to driving, because then

Here Robinson explains his researchgrounded recommendations for change. In your 2017 study, you recommended that police departments report any policeinvolved deaths to a national database. Why? A national database can shed light on racial bias in police use of lethal force and indicate where external reviews of police procedures may be needed. It shouldn’t take months to get accurate numbers.

you’re forced to have conversations. If you get to know the community you’re policing, then maybe you’re less likely to mistreat someone.

What other recommendations would you make?

You’ve recommended implicit bias training for officers. What is implicit bias?

More mental health services should be available to officers and their families. Basically it is a stressful job and assistance, if needed, should be available to the police officers and their families.

Implicit bias is prejudice you may not be aware of. You may give more weight to what someone in a business suit says, or less weight to something that an adolescent tells you. Those are implicit biases. We all have them. In policing, they can affect impartial treatment under the law, and even adversely escalate situations. Some police agencies provide evidence-based training on strategies to recognize and reduce implicit bias. The training isn’t standard practice but it should be. How does knowing about 19th century policing practices help today? Current policing tactics reflect policing of the past. As with implicit bias, if we’re aware of that past we can better address problems related to it.

Make body cameras mandatory.

There should be a national “use of force” policy that has been heavily researched, instead of jurisdictions coming up with their own policies. De-escalation training should be mandatory. Many situations can be de-escalated if police are properly trained. De-escalation basically gives the officers strategies to calm situations, especially folks who are experiencing mental health issues and also individuals who are armed and unarmed. Above all, unarmed citizens should not be given a death sentence on the street because they are experiencing a mental health crisis or resisting arrest. These are just a few recommendations. 

”No More” — Rosalyn Denise Campbell

“NO MORE”: BLACK WOMEN ARE SHEDDING THEIR CAPES AND ABANDONING THE SUPERWOMAN TROPE Rosalyn Denise Campbell, PhD, LMSW Associate Professor

n August 2020, when COVID was raging and people were dying and rebellions were erupting, I turned to social media to console, commensurate and conspire. And amongst the Tweets and posts and messages that were flying across my screen, one in particular profoundly captured my attention: “Black women will save the United States.” I stared at the screen, inhaled deeply and exhaled slowly, and my fingers began to move:

That first Tweet revealed what many unconsciously were counting on: that Black women would once again rescue us from the rubble of life that was collapsing around us. Because, you see, when Black women save themselves, they save everybody. And people know that; they count on it. They know that culturally, socially, and politically, Black women will do what it takes to survive, to make sure those they love and everything thing around them survives. I mean, it’s who we are. It’s who we’ve always been.

“We’ll let this [expletive] burn.” In that one tweet, I had finally declared “no more.” I could write countless pages about what led up to that moment — what subconsciously prompted me to Tweet those words — but that is for another time. What is important to note is that for many Black women like myself, the pandemics of COVID-19 and festering racial injustice and animus combined with generations worth of frustration, anger and exhaustion drove Black women across places and spaces to boldly declare “no more.”

Sure, folks love to trot out those other stereotypes. You’ve seen them — probably in “meme” form these days — and shared them and laughed at them and subtly — or maybe not so much so — believed them. But everyone knows who Black women really are. We’re caretakers and nurturers and healers. We’re comforters and confidants and congratulators. We have donned the cape and swooped in time and time again to save the world from itself, but this time — one Tweet at a time — we were saying “no more.” Yes, Black women have always been viewed as some sort of superwoman,

SOCIAL JUSTICE WANTED | 2021-2022

“No More” — Rosalyn Denise Campbell

some sort of magical being that manages to pull it all together and make it against all odds. Magical, yes, because it is beyond comprehension how a group of individuals so undervalued and under-resourced and under-compensated manage to make miracles happen in their personal and professional lives. Because, more often than not, we’ve had to. For survival’s sake, we’ve had to make something out of nothing. We’ve had to do more with less. We’ve had to function beyond our limits… shouldering doubt and blame, and ridicule along the way. But no more. Black women, en masse, have said “no more.”

resisted and rebelled and marched and maneuvered while continuing to live and love. But there is something different about this moment. There is simply something different about the way in which the Black women of this time are declaring “no more,” how Black

No more will we raise our voices to speak out against the many wrongs that destroy minds and spirits only to have praise expressed in secret. No more will we mend broken spaces only to have our access restricted once order is restored. No more will we shoulder the burden and bear the weight of the forgotten only to be replaced when we are exhausted and spent. No more will we be labeled as resilient for surviving unnatural circumstances created by policies and practices that are mean to undermine and destroy our very existence. No more will we sacrifice our mental and physical health for the sake of the greater good with the promise that it will soon be our turn at the table. No, we are finally saying, “no more.” And this is also not to discount, discredit, or disrespect the elders that have come before us, who in their own way strategically circumscribed or circumvented the obstacles that dotted their paths, who

women throughout this nation and globally are removing those capes that have twisted and knotted and become nooses to strangle and suffocate us as we have struggled against injustice and inhumanity. Yes, those capes are coming off but not in a way that abandons our desire to create and build

and repair. We are just choosing to be more discerning, selective, and intentional about how we want to invest our time and expend our energy. We are realizing, collectively, that resilience is no badge of honor, and that we win nothing by our suffering and demise.

Black women are able to navigate and survive racist, sexist, ableist, capitalist systems to eek out some semblance of success. No, I will focus on the ways in which Black women are opting out, strategically and completely; the ways in which they are saying “no more.” I will continue to conduct research and advocate on all matters related to mental health as I have in my recently published work on peer support services and barriers to mental health services. However, with a small group of colleagues, I will be intentionally collecting and exploring the lived experiences and narratives of Black women. So far, we have completed one manuscript on the need for targeted research and intervention for Black women and are working on another examining the psychological effects of being Black women in “elite” spaces like academia. I also plan to revisit my earlier work examining the superwoman trope and its negative impact on Black women’s mental, emotional, and behavioral health. Additionally, I will examine how they are taking those twisted, soiled capes and using them to feed the flames engulfing structures of oppression and marginalized spaces that never served us and have only been used to hinder and devalue us.

We are realizing that we matter. Our lives matter. Black women matter. And we will be invisible no more.

And I will investigate how they are letting this [expletive] burn but also what springs up from those ashes; what new or fresh ways of being and knowing and living and thriving emerge from the season of no more. 

It’s all of this that I seek to capture in my future work. Not just the ways in which

COMMUNITY LIVING FOR ADULTS WITH INTELLECTUAL AND DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES IN GEORGIA: PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE Rebecca Wells, PhD Assistant Clinical Professor MSW/MPH Coordinator

The History of Community Living in Georgia

(Legal Aid Atlanta).

Georgia’s history of institutionalization, de-institutionalization, and community living for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities spans almost 200 years. In 1837, Central State Hospital was chartered in a bill to care for people with developmental disabilities and mental illness and separate them from mainstream society. Institutional care for people with disabilities through residential training centers and mental health hospitals went largely unchallenged in Georgia until the late 1990s when a historic case in Georgia changed all of that.

In the Olmstead Decision, Georgia Legal Aid staff argued that keeping Lois at Georgia Regional Hospital (when she could live a successful, supported life in the community) violated her rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act. The court ruled that Lois and another plaintiff had a right to live in the community and that segregating them and others without cause was a violation of their rights under the ADA. According to the U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division, “The Court held that public entities must provide community-based services to persons with disabilities when (1) such services are appropriate; (2) the affected persons do not oppose community-based treatment; and (3) community-based services can be reasonably accommodated, taking into account the resources available to the public entity and the needs of others who are receiving disability services from the entity.”

Lois Curtis is one example of a person with a developmental disability who was institutionalized at the age of 11 at Georgia Regional Hospital. She remained there until she was 29 years old (Knight, 2018). Eventually Lois sought help from the Atlanta Legal Aid Society attorney Sue Jamieson who was visiting the Georgia Regional Hospital. Lois’s story became documented as part of a larger story, the Olmstead Decision, which is “the most important civil rights decision for people with disabilities in our country’s history”

This court decision was historic and resulted in community integration reforms across the United States, yet there is still much work to be done. To fully realize a

future for adults with disabilities where they are fully supported and a part of their communities, we need community awareness, acceptance, and adequate supports and services to support individuals who would have previously been served in state institutions. Treasure Maps: Shining a Light on Community Living for Adults with Disabilities During the spring and summer of 2021, I worked with a team of local disability professionals from the city of AthensClarke County, local non-profits, and UGA

to shed light on the issue of inadequately funded supports and services for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Sponsored by Georgia Options, L’arche Atlanta, and The Georgia Council on Developmental Disabilities, our team planned and supported a free event in Athens called “Treasure Maps: The Georgia Storytelling Roadshow, 2021.” This pop-up, interactive event featured a film about ten people with developmental disabilities from Georgia telling their own stories about life in their communities as a person with a developmental disability. One of six shows across the state of

The event included diverse participants and vendors (with and without disabilities), live-local hosts, and performances from the Love. Craft Band. The event sought to increase awareness, expand alliances with, and garner support from the community for persons with disabilities who live in the state of Georgia. At the event, attendees learned about Georgia’s Medicaid waivers available to support adults with disabilities in the community. Attendees also learned, however, that there are over 7,000 people currently on the waiting list for supports and services.

we will need an expansion of state-funded supports (the advocacy goal of our Treasure Maps show) and also public support for creative grassroots ventures like Love.Craft Athens, a non-profit that serves adults with developmental disabilities in creating and selling art (without the support of state funding). We will also need awareness, acceptance, and the fostering of community connections like those portrayed in the Treasure Maps film. I hope that our Athens Treasure Maps event is just the start of a broader conversation about the importance of true inclusion for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in our communities – not as tokens, but as fully valued members of our community.

The Road Ahead

If you are interested in viewing the Treasure Maps film, it is freely available on YouTube at https://youtu.be/xR0cUat5kio. 

While progress has been made since the 1999 Olmstead Decision, much work is still to be done in Georgia and across the United States to ensure adults with disabilities live supported lives in the community. Medicaid waivers and paid supports are just one option – and unfortunately, an option that is only available to a minority of Georgians. In a recently released report from the U.S. Administration for Community Living, Georgia was listed among the states who spend the least on people with IDD (Larson et al., 2021). The report also outlines that most adults with IDDs across the U.S. do not actually get services from their state developmental disability agencies; in fact, only around 17% of people with IDDs get paid supports. Advocacy and awarenessbuilding events, like the Treasure Maps show, by Georgians with and without disabilities are needed to make supported community living a reality for many Georgians.

Gender-Based Violence — Adrienne Baldwin-White

SOCIAL JUSTICE AND GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES

Adrienne Baldwin-White, MSW, PhD Assistant Professor

ender-based violence is a social justice issue. One contributing factor to the continued perpetration of gender-based violence are social and cultural gender inequities. Norms and expectations around gender influence how individuals communicate and behave during sexual encounters and romantic relationships. Gender-based violence also means that gender minorities (i.e. female presenting and expressing individuals, nonbinary individuals, trans individuals, gay men and lesbians [because their sexuality may mean they express themselves in ways contrary to social and cultural expectation]) disproportionately experience trauma, and the negative effects of that trauma, including depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress, suicidal ideation, substance misuse, and eating disorders. Also, because there is an expectation that these individuals are responsible for preventing their own victimization, they have to take precautions and navigate life differently. They are burdened with the existential threat of violence, which takes a psychological toll. College students, in particular, may be particularly vulnerable to these norms. Emerging adults are developmentally closer

UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA SCHOOL OF SOCIAL WORK | SSW.UGA.EDU

to adolescents rather than adults, and are still developing their own identities and cultivating what they want and need in relationships. My own research explores the attitudes and beliefs college students adopt while forming who they are, and how those norms increase their risk or perpetuate or be a victim of sexual violence. This research includes understanding the origins of those norms, what things maintain or change problematic norms (including social media), how those norms can be changed, and how we can develop effective prevention programs to address those norms and reduce the risk of sexual violence on college campuses. An example of norms that contribute to gender-based violence include expectations of aggression (of male identifying and presenting individuals) and compliance (of female identifying and presenting individuals); both lead to nonconsensual sexual and romantic relationships among college students. Addressing and changing problematic norms is challenging. And with college students requires innovative approaches. My research also integrates the use of technology to not only increase the effectiveness of prevention programming, but also improve accessibility (a social

justice issue itselt) to programming that may lead to less trauma experienced by college students. Reducing gender-based violence also requires an intersectional approach. Research has established, for example, that individuals are less likely to intervene to help a Black woman being aggressively or violently pursued by someone. Therefore, effective prevention programming must consider how a person’s race impacts whether or not someone will be an effective bystander and intervene to prevent a sexual assault. Women of color are also less likely to be believed by police. Therefore, when creating interventions to improve empathetic responses to survivors, educational interventions must consider how implicit racial and gender bias reduce the likelihood a survivor will receive the help they need from medical or criminal justice systems. Trans women of color are also at an elevated risk of experiencing sexual violence. My research examines the unique experiences of trans and nonbinary individuals, and how to increase awareness of those unique experiences, and increase empathy towards survivors. The same approach is being used to capture the experiences of gay and lesbian individuals to understand their relationship norms to improve understanding of consent and healthy relationships. An antiracist and antioppressive approach to gender-based violence requires an examination of systemic changes that need to occur to prevent sexual and relationship violence and help survivors. For college students in particular, this means ensuring campus police understand the importance of trauma informed policing. In partnership with campus police, my research is working to develop an online training for patrol officers to educate

them on trauma informed responses to survivors of sexual violence. The same trauma informed education is needed for medical professionals. In collaboration with community partners, I am developing a smartphone app that will provide medical professionals with the information needed to respond to survivors of sexual or relationship violence with compassion and empathy; and in a way that will not elicit a trauma response. University systems must also be changed so students feel supported and encouraged to report when sexual or intimate partner violence occurs so they have access to the resources they need. This means creating a campus environment that acknowledges the trauma of gender-based violence and holds individuals accountable for perpetrating intimate partner or sexual violence. At the core of my research in gender-based violence prevention on college campuses is an understanding that gender inequity is at the core of campus sexual and intimate partner violence. It has created norms and expectations that have negatively impacted college students’ behavior and contributed to the continued perpetuation of sexual assault. These gender norms also intersect with norms surrounding race, gender identity and sexual orientation that require research that attempts to include everyone’s voice in deciding how the problem of campus sexual violence should be addressed. 

A SOCIAL WORK VALUE-BASED APPROACH TO ADDRESSING THE PROBLEM OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING David Okech, PhD Professor, Director, Center on Human Trafficking Research & Outreach

David Okech

Anna Cody, PhD Assistant Research Scientist

here are several approaches to tackling the problem of human trafficking. A human rights approach to trafficking, for instance, places victims at the core of anti-trafficking efforts by prioritizing the protection of their rights. All victims are entitled to assistance without any obligation on their role in the process of tackling the problem1, 2, 3. A public health approach develops interventions that target the drivers, facilitators, or protective factors that are associated with trafficking. This approach provides support for survivors mental and physical health needs and is very useful in dealing with the debilitating effects of trafficking on survivors4, 5, 6. A criminal justice approach on the other hand intervenes at the perpetrator level by developing and executing appropriate and effective policies to prevent trafficking through prosecution and punishment of offenders. The presence of tough laws and law enforcement officers are seen as deterrents to would-be traffickers.7, 8

Finally, a social justice approach to trafficking acknowledges these approaches but also focuses on the root causes of trafficking at the micro, mezzo, macro, or global spheres. This approach looks at the push and pull factors that drive or draw people into trafficking situations. These factors may include lack of decent jobs and social protections, gender-based discrimination and violence, poverty, lack of knowledge on the side of victims, increased globalization and movement of people, natural catastrophes that displace people, or man-made disasters like war and civil conflict. In other words, a focus on social justice in human trafficking emphasizes tackling the root societal,

economic, environmental, and political factors that can result in people being vulnerable to trafficking.8, 9,10, 11 The UN Sustainable Development Goals can be an appropriate social-justice framework as they aim to reduce inequality, discrimination, and gender-based violence, and to ensure decent work for all. If we achieve progress towards the achievements of these goals, we might begin to record a decline in the prevalence of trafficking across the globe.12,13 Given that human trafficking is a complex multi-dimensional issue, no approach can sufficiently and exhaustively address the problem. In response, the Center on Human Trafficking Research & Outreach (CenHTRO) at the UGA School of Social Work has brought together faculty and staff from various perspectives and disciplines to conduct research, develop programs, and influence policies that can reduce trafficking in the US and abroad. We use an eclectic approach in addressing the problem and we are also guided by the values and ethical principles of the social work profession as articulated in the Code of Ethics of the US-based National Association of Social Workers (NASW).14 In this brief, we highlight how our work applies the six social work core values, including social justice in addressing the problem of human trafficking across the globe. Value: Service Ethical Principle: Social workers’ primary goal is to help people in need and to address social problems. Social workers elevate service to others above self-interest. Social workers draw on their knowledge, values, and skills to help people in need and to address social problems. Social workers are encouraged to volunteer some portion of their professional

skills with no expectation of significant financial return (pro bono service). Application: CenHTRO is working with local, NGO, and intragovernmental agencies in tackling trafficking. In our research and programming, we use our values that place survivors and victims at the center of our service. We are serving on the boards of various state, national, and international anti-trafficking agencies where we provide technical support gained from our experience and expertise. We are particularly focused on supporting local NGOs in building their capacity to sustainably and meaningfully support survivors, families and communities. We use our resources and position to strengthen community-based organizations which have limited resources, limited opportunities for training and are on the front lines of addressing the complex challenge of human trafficking. While we acknowledge that existing anti-trafficking frameworks have strengths and limitations. Therefore, our approach is to use a set of the best approaches that result in the greatest client outcomes rather than to focus on ideological inclinations that can plague anti-trafficking efforts and thus reduce the effectiveness of our services. Value: Social Justice Ethical Principle: Social workers challenge social injustice Social workers pursue social change, particularly with and on behalf of vulnerable and oppressed individuals and groups of people. Social workers’ social change efforts are focused primarily on issues of poverty, unemployment, discrimination, and other forms of social injustice. These activities seek to promote sensitivity to and knowledge about oppression and cultural and ethnic diversity. Social workers strive

SOCIAL JUSTICE WANTED | 2021-2022

to ensure access to needed information, services, and resources; equality of opportunity; and meaningful participation in decision making for all people. Application: Human trafficking survivors deserve social justice and this may be accomplished in different ways depending on the situations at hand. CenHTRO ensures the inclusion of survivor voice in research, programming, and policy advocacy. Survivors know best what they need and our goal is to provide opportunities for self-empowerment by addressing the main facilitators of human trafficking. Our theory of change posits that addressing social injustices, such as family violence, violence against women and poverty, which are root causes of trafficking, can result in the reduction of the problem. We strive to focus on addressing the problem of human trafficking through a broader ecological perspective, which centers survivors and their families in understanding the trafficking phenomenon and works directly with key governmental actors and local leaders in order to make meaningful social change. This approach enables us to focus on a problem that is mostly hidden and a population that is designated as hard-to-reach. Social justice also means strengthening criminal justice responses to perpetrators of trafficking; we therefore work with legal actors by providing training in anti-trafficking laws and advocate for just policies at local and national levels. Value: Dignity and Worth of the Person Ethical Principle: Social workers respect the inherent dignity and worth of the person. Social workers treat each person in a caring and respectful fashion, mindful of individual differences and cultural and ethnic diversity. Social workers promote clients’ socially responsible selfdetermination. Social workers seek to

UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA SCHOOL OF SOCIAL WORK | SSW.UGA.EDU

enhance clients’ capacity and opportunity to change and to address their own needs. Social workers are cognizant of their dual responsibility to clients and to the broader society. They seek to resolve conflicts between clients’ interests and the broader society’s interests in a socially responsible manner consistent with the values, ethical principles, and ethical standards of the profession. Application: Human trafficking disproportionately affects vulnerable groups that include women and children. CenHTRO is working to reduce all forms of child trafficking in Guinea and Sierra Leone and sex trafficking among women and girls in Senegal. In these efforts, we enhance the dignity of these populations by ensuring their voice in defining and describing the problem as well as in determining and improving program design (Ghana). CenHTRO is committed to inclusivity and promoting survivor voice in decision making within the center. This is why CenHTRO has developed a strategic plan which will include survivors of trafficking as key members of our advisory board. As an academic center based in the United States we recognize the potential for a power imbalance between us and our implementation and research partners in the global south who often work in low resource communities and face immense political and economic challenges. We actively work to support our partners in making social change which is inclusive of their cultural and community values. We intentionally work to address inherent power differentials in our relationships with our partners, by ensuring that our research activities and work with implementation partners is supportive of building their capacity and supporting our partners in making meaningful change rather than being extractive.

Value: Importance of Human Relationships Ethical Principle: Social workers recognize the central importance of human relationships.

various disciplines to meaningfully and effectively prevent and respond to human trafficking.

Social workers understand that relationships between and among people are an important vehicle for change. Social workers engage people as partners in the helping process. Social workers seek to strengthen relationships among people in a purposeful effort to promote, restore, maintain, and

Value: Integrity Ethical Principle: Social workers behave in a trustworthy manner.

Application: We use the collective impact approach by engaging multi-sectoral stakeholders in addressing trafficking across the globe. The collective impact approach is grounded in building trusting, supportive, mutually beneficial, and collaborative relationships across multiple sectors in order to effectively and proactively address social problems, such as human trafficking. In building a community of stakeholders with different levels of social power and ensuring that we are all working towards common goals, we are strengthening our ability to effectively and proactively address the complex and multi-sectorial challenge of human trafficking. Recently, on March 2, 2021, we launched the Sierra Leone project that was addressed by the Vice President of the country, Dr. Mohamed Juldeh Jalloh, among other government dignitaries. On August 12, 2021, we held a roundtable with academic, government, NGO, civil society, and local leaders to explore the various challenges in anti-trafficking efforts. We have built relationship building into the core operations at CenHTRO, where every implementation country has a resident country manager who helps in developing, deepening, end expanding our relationships with key stakeholders. We recognize that without good relationships, it is impossible to work cross-nationally and across the

Social workers are continually aware of the profession’s mission, values, ethical principles, and ethical standards and practice in a manner consistent with them. Social workers should take measures to care for themselves professionally and personally. Social workers act honestly and responsibly and promote ethical practices on the part of the organizations with which they are affiliated. Application: Trust is a key factor to the success of our projects. Given the language, cultural, and geographic differences that CenHTRO operates in, cultural humility and meeting our partners where they are paramount in enhancing trust. We actively work to build collaborative and transparent relationships with partners and to ensure that we are answerable to our partners just as they are to us. We maintain the highest degree of accountability in our financial, research, and administrative engagements because we must also remain accountable to our fund. Ultimately, we want those affected by the problem of trafficking to have faith in our efforts and staff. To achieve this, CenHTRO has recruited the best staff, faculty, and graduate students who are committed to the ideals of trust, open communication, and active listening. Value: Competence Ethical Principle: Social workers practice within their areas of competence and develop and enhance their professional expertise. Social workers continually strive to increase

SOCIAL JUSTICE WANTED | 2021-2022

their professional knowledge and skills and to apply them in practice. Social workers should aspire to contribute to the knowledge base of the profession. Application: CenHTRO’s faculty and staff are highly competent individuals. Our faculty come from social work, law, political science, public health, sociology, and statistics. The interdisciplinary nature of CenHTRO has contributed to increased capacity among faculty and to the establishment of innovative lines of research. Among these is the Prevalence Reduction Innovation Forum (PRIF) where we are testing the various methods of prevalence estimation in Brazil, Cost Rica, Morocco, Pakistan, and Tunisia. We are coordinating the research with interdisciplinary research teams from top institutions in the US and using our values to create a conducive environment where various researchers from diverse disciplines can learn the best-practices in the science of prevalence estimation. PRIF has produced a statistical definitions document15 and is in the process of producing an indicators document that will enhance the precision of human traffic kicking prevalence estimation. In conclusion, we demonstrate in this brief how interdisciplinary research teams that have social workers can integrate the values of the profession in enhancing the rights and social justice of trafficking victims and survivors, who are the main stakeholders in all anti-trafficking initiatives. Research, programming, and policy work that recognizes the inherent challenges in antitrafficking efforts should identify the best approaches in mitigating the various forms and types of trafficking. Strengthening local institutions is key to developing effective programs irrespective of the approach or combination thereof that one applies;

however, if the goal is social justice for victims and survivors, then a combination of a human rights, public health, criminal justice, or social justice approaches are inevitable.  References Knight, R.

Rights-Based Social Work Practice — Jane McPherson

TO BUILD A BETTER WORLD: NOW IS THE TIME FOR A RIGHTS-BASED APPROACH TO SOCIAL WORK PRACTICE Jane McPherson, MSW, MPh, PhD Assistant Professor, Director of Global Engagement

Arundhati Roy, the Indian novelist and human rights activist, has written of the current pandemic as a catastrophic rupture in our lives from which we have an opportunity to build a new and better society. Historically, pandemics have forced humans to break with the past and imagine their world anew. This one is no different. It is a portal, a gateway between one world and the next. We can choose to walk through it, dragging the carcasses of our prejudice and hatred…Or we can walk through lightly, with little luggage, ready to imagine another world. And ready to fight for it. (Roy, 2020) Eighteen months into the pandemic, we are not yet walking lightly through this portal. COVID-19 has exposed or exacerbated core weaknesses in our society: extreme inequality, embedded structural racism, and a White-supremacist founding ideology that has shaped our social institutions, including the police, healthcare delivery, and yes, social services. Further, even though we have experienced the collective trauma of a pandemic, as a nation we have not drawn together in solidarity, but seem to have grown even further apart (Gomez, 2021).

UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA SCHOOL OF SOCIAL WORK | SSW.UGA.EDU

So, what is a social worker to do? To paraphrase both Saul Alinsky (1971) and Barack Obama (2018), we need to work in the world today—as it is—and we must work to dismantle unjust systems in order to build the world as it should be. As professionals who work shoulder-toshoulder with individuals experiencing injustice, we must use our skills—both micro and macro—to address people’s immediate needs while also insisting on a redistribution of privilege, wealth, and power in our societies. In other words, now is the time for social workers to commit to taking a rights-based approach to social work practice (Mapp et al., 2019). Rights-based practice sees the world through a human rights lens; it employs rights-based methods; and it aims at rights-based goals. Through a rightsbased lens, we see that access to healthcare, unemployment benefits, housing, social security, education, etc.—the social and economic rights first promised in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948)—are actually privileges reserved for the lucky rather than rights guaranteed to all. Shifting the focus from human needs to human rights requires social workers to see clients’ concerns in larger sociopolitical

Rights-Based Social Work Practice — Jane McPherson

context and to assess for the presence of oppression and social exclusion, beyond the more standard social and psychiatric concerns. Further, it challenges us to work in solidarity with our clients in the fight for justice. Seeing problems through a rights-based lens leads social workers to set ambitious, justice-focused goals. A client’s need for a roof over her head may be met by referring her to a shelter, but securing her human right to housing will require a longterm commitment to social and political change. A rights-based approach guides intervention. Rights-based social workers root their practice in the human

Pillars of Practice

rights principles of human dignity, antidiscrimination, participation, transparency, and accountability (McPherson & Abell, 2020). Living by these principles, we cultivate democratic and transparent engagement with service users. Relationships built on equality and respect serve to deconstruct traditional power dynamics based on profession, race, income, or other social status (McPherson, 2015). This practice of building respectful and engaged partnerships that question the usual distribution of authority creates expectations—within service users and social workers—that all will be listened to and treated with dignity. Everyone’s voice matters.

Components of Practice

SOCIAL JUSTICE WANTED | 2021-2022

Rights-Based Social Work Practice — Jane McPherson

Rights-based practice with its ambitious and aspirational goals is necessarily collaborative. To create the justice-focused changes, social workers must engage clients, communities, and political leaders. Other professionals are needed: lawyers, certainly, but also organizers, doctors, educators, researchers, faith leaders, and more. Rights-based practice, which requires attention to both micro- and macro-level concerns, demands skills and energy that go beyond what a single human being (even a social worker!) is likely to possess alone. Rights-based practice is political. It requires advocacy and activism, and this is surely a time when political action is needed to address the human rights violations that we see all around us: people of color assaulted by police or incarcerated in US prisons, jails, and detention centers are experiencing violations of their right to nondiscrimination; Texas and other states are erecting barriers between women and their reproductive rights; and voting rights are everywhere in jeopardy. Rights-based practice requires social workers to stand up for human rights. Social workers may feel uncomfortable with this call to political action. Indeed, evidence shows that social workers are less comfortable with activism than they are with other aspects of the rights-based practice model (McPherson & Abell, 2020). This discomfort is something must examine critically. Professional neutrality simply serves to ally professionals with the powerful against the interests of the underserved and disenfranchised (Farmer, 2005; Freire, 1984). We must return to the activism that built our profession and revive our long and brave tradition of campaigning for civil, social, and economic rights (Piven & Cloward, 1978; Reisch, 2013).

UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA SCHOOL OF SOCIAL WORK | SSW.UGA.EDU

A human rights-based approach to social work understands service users as experts and partners, rather than passive recipients of charity and services (Mapp et al., 2019). It also empowers—and challenges—us to promote our core professional values, even (and especially) when those values are threatened by structural racism and austerity-driven social policy. Arundhati Roy asks us to imagine the world on the other side of the portal. As social workers, we must pass through that door as human rights practitioners. We must embrace practices that fully respect the human dignity and human rights of our services users. We must envision an ambitious expansion of a human rights access for all—and we must be willing to work for it.  Author note: An earlier version of this editorial appeared in the Journal of Human Rights and Social Work (June 2020) as “Now Is the Time for a Rights-Based Approach to Social Work Practice.” https://doi. org/10.1007/s41134-020-00125-1 The original article can be accessed here: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/ s41134-020-00125-1 References Knight, R.

For a third year, the School of Social Work is engaging in a Common Book Initiative. This effort, whereby all entering students read and discuss the same book on a social justice topic, encourages students to think critically about the roles and responsibilities of social work as a social justice profession. Jennifer Elkins

he NASW Code of Ethics states that “social workers must take action against oppression, racism, discrimination, and inequities, and acknowledge personal privilege.” This commitment to social justice is inextricably linked to the promotion of economic justice. However, sometimes the link between past and present economic injustices in the United States isn’t given enough attention. Amid a national reckoning on inequality, racism, and white supremacy in 2021, the organizing committee chose “dismantling racism” as the topic of focus for the third

annual Social Justice Common Book Initiative (SJCBI). Selected with the input of current social work students for the first time, Heather McGhee’s timely new book, The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together, traces the impact of racism on the economy in the U.S., the origins of the wealth gap, and strategies for moving forward. The book introduced students to McGhee’s zero-sum paradigm that suggests progress comes at the expense of marginalized groups. We were also introduced to the concept of “the solidarity dividend”

that describes how people reach across racial lines to work together for the common good and secure better lives for all. As with previous selections, Drs. Tiffany Washington and Jennifer Elkins expected this book to expand students’ understanding of social justice, engage their intellectual curiosity about progress through social policy formation, and challenge their critical thinking about social workers’ role in dismantling white supremacy and promoting an economicallyjust society. To date more than 700 incoming MSW and PhD students have participated in the SJCBI during their summer and fall orientations. In addition to exciting and energizing discussions at orientation, many faculty have incorporated the book selections into their courses through required reading, assignments, and/or discussions. Washington and Elkins are proud to have established this initiative and look forward to seeing the new and exciting directions it takes as the new organizing committee transitions in this upcoming year. 

Social Worker and Social Policy — Yosha Dotson

THE SOCIAL WORKER ENGAGED IN SOCIAL POLICY Yosha Dotson, MSW Academic Professional, Graduate Recruitment Coordinator

his year the state of Georgia passed its first hate crimes bill. More than half a century after the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and almost as long since the first federal hate crimes legislation was signed, Georgia was one of only four states in the country that did not have a bill that increased penalties for crimes based in discrimination and hatred of “the perceived other.” This bill (HB426) was tabled by the Senate Judiciary Committee during the first half of the session and was expected to sit on the table (not move) for the remainder of session. It only passed amidst pandemic, peaceful protests, violent unrest, the slow apathetic suffocation murder of George Floyd by police officers, and the stalking death of Ahmad Arbery in rural Georgia – both of which were broadcast on television and in social media worldwide. Simultaneously, Georgians experienced voter disenfranchisement, extensive budget cuts to direct services for those with mental, physical and substance use challenges, the refusal to use big business to bring additional capital into the state and reopening the state with a disregard for

federal guidelines. What does that say regarding the importance of social justice and the action required to bring about change? Social work was founded on the principle of taking action. The first social workers challenged the system. Trash collection was the catalyst for movement and community organization. So what is our obligation as social workers today? Social workers are positioned to utilize the dual perspectives of macro and micro practice to foster change in systems that are resolved to maintain the status quo. I would pose that there are still system problems that must spur us to action. In the current session, this action for change helped restore funding for maternal health, peer services and crisis beds for youth. However, there are challenges that remain. As social workers, we have the statistics, the research and the organizing capacity to confront issues of discrimination, disenfranchisement, racism, tokenism, and institutional and structural oppression head on. It is time to act.

Social Worker and Social Policy — Yosha Dotson

My research and practice expertise is in education and mobilization of communities to engage in the policy space. This includes strategy and advocacy messaging. This same messaging is crucial in my own professional community—social work.

3) Testimony - Understand both sides of an issue and call, submit comment or plan to testify in committee meetings. Providing testimony can be effective in bringing forth positions that have been unheard or reaffirming points for legislators.

To that end, here are some ways social workers can engage in the current social policy landscape:

4) Advocacy in Groups – Join or find organizations focusing on your interests that participate in advocacy and lobbying at the state level. These organizations often create legislative agendas and real time legislative updates and alerts so that members know when to take action. Actions can include advocacy days, placing calls, sending emails or testimony.

1) Elections – Volunteer to participate in the upcoming election. This can include working at polling locations and phone banking. Contact the Secretary of State to ensure that complaints are logged. Post important voter dates/deadlines on social media or throughout your organization. 2) Programs/Research - Educate yourself regarding programs and models that are best practices. Share this information with your legislators before sessions. Let them know what is important to you and the community you are representing. Most legislation is brought forward because of what legislators learn in their districts. Presenting issues to legislators creates “champions” for those causes.

As social workers it is our responsibility to define what we see and speak up. If we remain silent, we permit opportunities for increased injustice, including disenfranchisement and trauma, to persist. We have an opportunity to set the tone for generations to come. 

Protecting Survivors During a Pandemic — Y. Joon Choi, Elyssa Schroeder

PROTECTING SURVIVORS DURING A PANDEMIC: DOMESTIC VIOLENCE RESIDENTIAL SERVICES RESPONSE TO COVID-19 Y .Joon Choi, PhD Associate Professor and Interim Associate Dean Elyssa Schroeder, MSW PhD Student

Y. Joon Choi

istory has shown that in times of societal crisis, such as natural disasters and financial downturns, intimate partner violence (IPV) tends to rise. Recent events, such as Hurricanes Katrina and Harvey and the Australian Black Saturday fires, elucidated this phenomenon by demonstrating increased IPV incidences up to four years after the natural disaster (Schumacher, 2010; Serrata & Hurtado Alvarado, 2019; Parkinson & Zara, 2013). Other studies have found that rapid increases in the unemployment rate and unstable economic conditions, as seen in the Great Recession of 2008, increased abusive partners' controlling behaviors (Schneider, Harknett, & McLanahan, 2016; Lucero, & Santiago, 2016). The COVID-19 pandemic created distinctive conditions that overlap the increased risk factors of both a natural disaster and an unstable economy for increased IPV while also further isolating survivors through social distancing practices. The United Nations estimates suggest that three months of quarantine could increase global domestic violence by 20% (United Nations Population Fund, 2020). In Georgia, domestic violence calls during the pandemic, including calls

from first-time reporters, have increased 42-79% (Braverman, 2020; Burns, 2020; Evans, 2020). Domestic violence shelters represent a foundational service intervention that fulfills IPV survivor needs that cannot be met with other services (Lyon, Lane, & Menard, 2008). These residential programs provide 24/7 housing assistance for survivors fleeing IPV while providing additional wraparound supports such as therapy, legal advocacy, and case management. Shelters typically seek to create safe and healthy environments for

survivors, and the COVID-19 pandemic has caused unprecedented changes to those standard operating procedures. Shelter environments are communal by nature, with survivors often sharing rooms and common spaces, which increases the risk of spreading the virus. Additionally, survivors typically exit shelter services when they can be financially independent. With mass unemployment and reduction of income for many Americans, the impact on survivors currently living in domestic violence shelters can be monumental. This creates a bottleneck effect where survivors are unable to exit shelter services into a safe and stable environment, preventing new residents from entering. The intersections of increased need for shelter services with an increased risk in housing people communally and decreased economic options for survivors exiting shelters creates an unprecedented challenge for these programs. Our current research study seeks to understand how shelters are responding to the COVID-19 pandemic, given these constraints and an initial vacuum of information. The study targets both domestic violence shelter staff and shelter leadership to obtain a multi-pronged picture of how policies and decisions were enacted. This study utilizes an online survey with questions surrounding changes in everyday operations of domestic violence shelters. Specifically, it inquires how domestic violence shelter leadership made decisions affecting survivors and shelter staff during the pandemic and subsequent shelter-in-place policies. It also examines domestic violence shelter staff’s perceptions of how particular policies affected their ability to respond to survivor needs and how their health concerns impacted their work. The ultimate goal of the study is to identify gaps and best practices in shelter service to

inform future infectious disease response planning for domestic violence agencies. The COVID-19 pandemic represents an unprecedented challenge in providing residential services. This study will shed light on how domestic violence agencies can continue to deliver life-saving services in these exceptional times and further their commitment to equitable access for all survivors.  References Ignatieff, M.
