Licensure is not just for clinicians — and it is not something to figure out after graduation.

Know Before You Grow is a four-part webinar series designed to provide clear, accurate, and student-friendly licensure preparation and education, with intentional focus on macro practice, professional standards, and workforce mobility.

This series cuts through misinformation and equips participants with the knowledge needed to enter regulated social work practice informed, prepared, and confident.
