I am a more recent Licensed Clinical Social Worker, as of 2010, and support the proposed limitation to supervision renewal. It is already challenging for new MSW graduates to find proper employers and supervisors to become licensed. The current regulations will only make this more difficult, thus our state will have a depletion of LCSWs.
Additionally, the 14-hour regulations discourage someone like me to seek supervisor certification. I currently work full-time in a hospital and part-time at a private practice in order to survive financially. The current regulation is costly and time-consuming, which causes me to re-consider my goal of supervising in the future. In order to obtain and sustain adequate professionals, I strongly support the proposed regulation to reduce the number of CEU hours for supervision re-certification.
