OVERVIEW
We all have heard the phrase, “Social workers do it for the outcome and not the income.” I ask you today, why can’t it be both? There are creative ways to create positive outcomes for your population while creating a sustainable life and getting paid your worth. The goal of this session is to aid participants in increasing their knowledge in creating multiple streams of income with their LMSW or LCSW, understand how the difference in licenses impacts the ability to increase revenue, and the key to self-promotion in a social media world.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
As a result of attending this presentation, participants will be able to:
1. Increase knowledge on multiple areas for LMSWs/LCSWs to earn multiple streams of income;
2. Increase understanding of the difference between the two licensures and how this impacts the ability to increase income; and
3. Increase knowledge on the key to promoting self within the realm of the social media arena.
TARGET AUDIENCE
Social workers practicing at the micro, mezzo, and macro levels.
