Who is included in The New York State Coalition of LMSWs?
The Coalition welcomes all individuals who moved forward in the social work system based on the regulations in effect prior to June 2008. This includes LMSWs who have applied for the LCSW and have not been approved due to recent â clarificationsâ , those in the process of accruing hours, social work students who entered graduate programs based on the information that was available, as well as recent graduates. The Coalitionâ s membership is currently comprised of these individuals as well as LCSWs and other mental health professionals interested in assuring the greatest access possible to licensed social work services.
