In honor of 2023 School Social Work Week, we invite school social workers to consider the ways in which you can grow your practice beyond school social work. School social workers have many clinical and organizational skills which can be transferred to other pursuits–ranging from holistic private practice to business to macro practice. This panel discussion will feature accomplished SSWA DC members who have successfully applied their school social work expertise to other fields and can share their lessons learned!

This workshop is approved for 1 CEU by the DC Board of Social Work. While this event is open to anyone, a CEU certificate will only be provided to SSWA DC members.
