NASW’s Task Force for Private Practice Guidelines is seeking public comments for the document, Clinical Social Workers in Private Practice: A Reference Manual.
This manual provides a useful set of guidelines for clinical social workers starting a private practice and for seasoned clinical social workers seeking specific information related to the practice and business side of a private practice. Your comments are important to us and will determine how the task force moves forward.
The public comment period begins December 4, 2020 and ends January 19, 2021. The manual is available for review and public comment.
NASW staff and members are also invited to review this manual during the public comment period. Chapters are welcome to post this information in their print and social media outlets.
Questions about the manual may be referred to me at mcoleman.nasw@socialworkers.org
Hope you have a great day!

There is much to learn when one is starting a private practice, and social work school does not prepare you for this. One needs a community to lean on and grow with. In addition, business tips and grants for BIPOC social workers. The struggle is real and the finances may not always be available. Consider partnering with others to create a group practices and look for coaches and mentors. But don’t forget, you then must pay it forward. NASW,we must do this together. #TogetherWeRise.
