Presenter: Laura Groshong, LICSW, CSWA Director of Policy and Practice

Target Audience: social workers, mental health professionals

Content Level: Intermediate

This 1 credit course was developed for clinical social work professionals. The course will help LCSWs determine when and how to safely return to our office practices, as many states edge closer to ‘opening up’ in-person contacts. These webinars (both the same material) will help participants make this complicated decision in these perilous times.  Here is your chance to ask all the questions you have about making this important choice.Bottom of Form
