NASW Louisiana Chapter

A new Tips and Tools document, Starting a Private Practice, Frequently Asked Questions by NASW Members, has been developed to help guide clinical social workers through the process of opening a private practice. This document provides answers to common questions on licensure, liability, insurance credentialing, and many other topics to help CSWs get started.

ADVOCACY ALERT: Help Protect the Social Work Profession!

The Department of Education's new "RISE Rule" limits social work graduate loans to $20,500/year, while other fields can access up to $50,000/year.
A recent court ruling paused these strict definitions, but social work was explicitly left off the temporary restoration list, leaving student funding in limbo.
NASW has partnered with the Advanced Professional Workforce Alliance to lobby Congress for a permanent, legislative fix. Our students and our workforce deserve stability.

Take Action: Contact your members of Congress today and urge them to support fair loan limits for social workers. Learn more & raise your voice: https://tinyurl.com/ytda4uhx
