I have already seen a couple different threads that have broken the myth that a LCSW can’t do assessments provided they have training. There’s this idea LCSW can only do “certain trainings” but legally I see no evidence that LCSW is limited provided they have the training. This is even mentioned on another thread where someone’s contacted the state board of California Social workers.
As someone who spent much post BA time in formal trainings in another field I am transitioning out of I know there’s generally no shortage of classes if you need a respected high quality training on a professional subject.
**Does anyone have reccomendations for classes or schools that have a strong assessment training for MSW? Or what to look for in listed assessment classes? If in California all the better but I am open to other states as long as they are accredited.***
*Also, Please no PHD’s coming in just to go on and on about how you are the only ones who could or should do assessments. Because truly for every good Psychologist there’s still a dozen of bad ones who got the same apa training but are just simply subpar students and workers. The reality is a specific degree and even school does not guarantee quality care and we should all be continuously learning anyway. Doctorates are not financially worth it for everyone.
