AMHSW Workshop Content & Upcoming Dates
Overview
The overall purpose of your application for AMHSW is for you to demonstrate how your
social work knowledge and practice skills apply when you work with people who have mental health problems.
Let me assist you with the application process. I have previously assisted several social workers to gain their accreditation as a mental health social worker.
The process can be daunting and time consuming, but we collaborate share the knowledge of the application process.
