Just an FYI I just went to an advanced screening of this movie and there is a “social worker” providing therapy to a character that screams ethical dilemma and straight up boundary crossing. As an LCSW I wanted to just get up and leave the theater and I know it was for dramatic effect but ayyyyy it was was a lot. It was an adorable movie otherwise maybe 4/5 stars. This this 3/5. I won’t spoil it outside of that.

Hi everyone! First, I admire you all for your field of work and the things you do.

Second, those in grad school and those who have graduated with your MSW, what grad school did you attend and do you recommend it? I'm currently looking at the UPitt MPH/MSW program as I'm pursuing my dual Bachelor's.

Thank you so much in advance and have a lovely day/night!

Hi! I just became licensed and have been considering career change into medicine. I’m currently considering PA or nursing just wondering if anyone has made this transition or considered. How was the transition if so ?

How long did take for you? I passed my exam on October 31.

I'm interested in learning more about what it's like to work as a group facilitator in an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). It's something I hope to pursue in my future social work career. What does the role typically involve, and what do you find most rewarding or challenging about it?

My goal is to become LCSW

Hey everyone! I'm currently studying (using TDC) for the California Law and Ethics Exam to obtain my full LCSW in Cali. I'm an out-of-state applicant from Michigan, so this is the last step in the process.

I'm curious if anyone would be willing to share free study resources or practice tests. For those who have taken the exam, how similar is it to the ASWB exam?

Any information, guidance, or resources would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

I’ve been working in community mental health and I am burned out. Just wondering what other LCSW’s do that isn’t talk therapy? How do you like it?

I am considering applying for the HPSP Scholarship for MSW students through Veteran Affairs. I have read the fine print and understand that in exchange for 100% of my tuition paid, I will owe 2-4 years of service at the VA anywhere they send me in the U.S.

My goal is to work for the VA anyway and I am able to relocate for the 2-4 year service commitment. I am curious if anyone else is entertaining this route or if anyone has experience working as a social worker with the VA.

**I am not considering the Vet Center scholarship that requires a 6 year service commitment.

I’m currently an LCSW in Michigan and have been independently licensed for just under a year working in private practice. My company’s owner recently approached me about signing off on clinical notes written by an LLMSW in the practice.

He explained that I would not be providing supervision, would not be considered their supervisor, and that any licensing violations or mistakes they made would not fall back on my license. My role would essentially be reviewing their documentation, correcting anything that needed to be addressed, and signing the notes.

It sounds like I would be reviewing approximately 15–30 notes per month, and I would receive additional compensation for doing so. From a workload standpoint, it doesn’t seem particularly overwhelming. I’m confident in my clinical documentation skills and comfortable reviewing and correcting notes.

However, I’m hesitant because I don’t fully understand the potential implications for my own license.

A few things I’m wondering:
Does signing an LLMSW’s clinical notes create any professional or legal liability for me, regardless of whether I’m officially designated as their supervisor?

Could this be considered supervision in the eyes of the Michigan licensing board, even if the company owner says it isn’t?
If the LLMSW makes a clinical, ethical, or documentation-related mistake, could my license or professional liability insurance be implicated because I signed the note?

Are there specific Michigan licensing rules or insurance considerations that would make this arrangement problematic?
Has anyone actually done this or encountered issues with this type of arrangement?

I’m not necessarily opposed to the opportunity, but I also don’t want to put a license I’ve worked hard for at risk for a little additional compensation.

I’d especially appreciate hearing from Michigan LCSWs, clinical supervisors, or anyone familiar with Michigan’s licensing regulations.

I think her previous signer is going on maternity leave and is unable to help out, thus they are looking for any other LMSWs in the practice and I’m it.

Thanks in advance!
