Projects That Drive Impact

Social Media Strategy — social work project by Erica Jew

Social Media Strategy

A short-form video produced as part of a social media strategy supporting NASW chapter communication across Texas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma. The project addressed the need to reach members and the wider community with accessible, visually engaging content rather than text-heavy announcements.

Corporate Practice of Behavioral Health — social work project by Erica Jew

Corporate Practice of Behavioral Health

A policy project arguing that Louisiana should extend a corporate practice doctrine to behavioral health so that clinical decisions remain with licensed professionals rather than non-licensed or profit-driven entities. The work documents the state's behavioral health workforce shortages, the growth of private equity in health care, and lessons from dentistry where uneven protections weakened professional autonomy.

AI in Mental Health Policy — social work project by Erica Jew

AI in Mental Health Policy

An advocacy project supporting Louisiana Senate Bill 5, which sets guardrails for the use of artificial intelligence in mental and behavioral health services. The work frames the risks of unregulated AI in clinical settings, including harmful chatbot responses, emotional dependency, and misuse of sensitive mental health data, and outlines the protections SB 5 would create.
