Consider using the Health Care Advocate United Way of Greater Kansas City when you are unsure how to navigate through the health care system and need to help a client. By calling the United Way 2-1-1 program you can reach a Health Care Advocate that can help with community clinic referrals, prescription assistance, medical transportation, immunizations, medical support groups and far more. It takes one free and confidential call to get started in the right direction. In the past year, United Way's Health Care Advocate has assisted more than 3,000 clients in addressing health care issues. Sometimes the help involves directing individuals to the best programs and agencies that can assist, other times it involves coordinating multiple services to help callers find solutions to their medical issues. Funding for United Way's Health Care Advocate position has been provided by the Health Care Foundation of Greater Kansas City.

National Association of Social Workers(NASW)
Office of Ethics and Professional Review(OEPR)
Ethics Consultation
As a service to members, the OEPR provides ethics consultations for current NASW members. Ethic consultations are a resource for members who are experiencing an ethical dilemma. We do not provide advice or tell members what to do. However, we do guide them through the Code and point them to the areas of the Code that address their concerns. We provide dialogue and considerations that allow members to make ethical decisions. We may also refer members to the appropriate areas if their questions do not appear to be related to ethics but are more related to legal issues or standards of practice.
