One of the social work code of ethics is Social Justice. According to the NASW website, “Social workers pursue social change, particularly with and on behalf of vulnerable and oppressed individuals and groups of people.” (NASW, 2026).I can honestly think of no better example of advocating for a vulnerable population than advocating for medical professionals to get the training desperately needed so that they can better take care of the elderly population, especially those with a Dementia/Alzheimer’s diagnosis. At this current time, no movement has happened with the bill in The Senate. But hopefully soon we will see it be passed!
