As comes to a close, we recognize and celebrate the contributions of bisexual people in social work and beyond. Bisexual people have always been part of our workforce and our movements. Yet they continue to face erasure, stigma, and exclusion in both cis-heteronormative and 2SLGBTQIA+ spaces. must ensure our practice reflects inclusion, affirmation, and the full dignity of bi+ clients, colleagues, and communities.

Sign language is not just a tool. It is a full, complex language and a vital part of cultural identity. On , we affirm the right of Deaf people and others with hearing-related access needs to communicate fully and freely in the language that works best for them.

must uphold language justice by supporting interpreter access, affirming signing clients and colleagues, increasing Deaf leadership across our systems, and actively challenging audism and all structures that center speech or hearing as the default. If it doesnโ€™t work for everyone, it doesnโ€™t work.

is a time to recognize the culture, leadership, and lived experiences of Deaf people and others with hearing-related access needs, while advocating for equity in access, communication, and representation. Deaf people use a variety of communication methods. Some use sign languages. Some use speech. Some use both. Some identify with Deaf culture. Others do not. All deserve autonomy, dignity, and full inclusion.

must move beyond minimum compliance and into setting best practice standards. That includes creating and prioritizing space for Deaf and hearing-diverse people as clients, colleagues, collaborators, and leaders. This month is not just about awareness. It is about action, accountability, and building inclusive systems in solidarity with Deaf communities.

This week is and bisexual people make up the largest percentage of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, yet they remain some of the most erased, stigmatized, and underrepresented, even within queer+ spaces.

These patterns of erasure contribute to ongoing inequities in health, safety, and care. Social workers have a responsibility to interrupt these harms and center bisexual people in policy, practice, and representation. This week is not just about celebration. It is about inclusion, action, and accountability.

You will see how your own thinking and decision-making respond to scarcity. After playing, you will learn the basics of the brain science. You will understand what some take for granted (โ€œgive no thought toโ€) and how that differs for people and children coping with poverty. With so many things crowding the brain, people in poverty respond to certain kinds of communication and not others. In this workshop, you will learn how to listen and respond effectively, improving your work with low-income students and families.

The NASW-CO Chapter is heartbroken by the school shooting that occurred at Evergreen High School on Wednesday, September 10th. Our thoughts are with the students, families, educators, first responders, and the entire Evergreen community. Every student deserves a safe, supportive place to learn, and every family should be able to send their child to school with confidence theyโ€™ll return home.
