This webinar will
focus on the rise of beginning practitioners who have received their first
level of licensure moving into early careers in private practice. Presenters
will specifically highlight the ethical dilemma associated with private
practice agencies that are hiring social workers for low wages, with minimal to
low level supervision, and highly complex cases. Presenters will close with
recommendation for a national licensure standard to ensure adequate and
effective training is being provided for the next generation of first level
licensed Social Workers.
Objectives:
- Participants will be able to articulate
concerns regarding first tier licensure MSW graduates practicing in the private
practice arena without further training.
- Participants will be able to articulate
possible ethical dilemmas associated with tier one MSW licensure entering
private practice.
- Participants will be able to list areas of the
legislation that need clarity regarding practice and supervision at the first
tier MSW licensure.

oppressions that social workers have most often grappled with both personally
and professionally at the micro, mezzo, and macrolevels, including personal
internalized oppression. Social workers will learn integrate practical
knowledge, wisdom, historical truths, tools and tips to spark the ‘biggest
version of themselves’ and to ‘become the change they wish to see in the world’
