Members of NASW Weigh in
Apr 6, 2022. A Member of the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) posted this in support of the RBVSG on the NASW online forum.
The RBVSG is well-represented in the National Association of Social Workers; as far as we know we are the only organization dedicated to preserving the rights of clients of Social Workers.
Last month, the Rhonda Barovsky's Victim Support Group (RBVSG) was recognized as a California Non-Profit Organization and a IRS 501(c)4 Organization. As of this writing the organization has grown to about 20+ affected children and their families across three states. In January, the group helped rescue one child placed in an abusive household. The RBVSG assisted as this child of divorce, now a young women, was heart-warmingly reunited with her loving mother and grandmother. This child has a long way to go but her future is now wide-open.
....
Thank you NASW. This wouldn't have been possible without some of your encouragement and the willingness of several individuals who wanted to stand up for better, more transparent, and equitable social work.
Please reach out to the RBVSG if any of your patients have had trouble with this or other social workers especially in the Family Law arena. The RBVSG is here to help provide a supportive community and advocate for families at there darkest hour.
