Below, I have the list of what I have. For My Visually Impaired Friends (and people not into looking at videos).

The Licensed Clinical Social Worker Exam

JANUARY 22, 2018

To pass the licensing exam, you have to have a good grasp on the NASW Code of Ethics. And to pass it after January 1st, 2018, you have to know the new version of the code. Here it is. What's changed? Not an enormous amount, but enough to warrant some determined review. The main areas that have been updated relate to tech.

I’m in Washington, D.C. for a social work conference, and yesterday I participated on a panel as part of the SSWR ‘s Roots and Wings Roundtable series. The conversation was about alternative modes of sharing scholarship beyond the traditional academic audience of peer review journals.

Oh, you email warriors… I see you brag about your 200+ emails and get uber jealous when you dwindle it down to zero. I don’t know how you do it, for I am a digital hoarder and my inbox is plentiful with unfinished tasks. I’ve been meaning to write this post for a while because since the whole world revolves around email, I’ve seen some silly things people do on it so this serves as a refresher for those of us that work in government, 401(c)(3)s, or have a private practice.
