About the course
This webinar will focus on how to end a clinical social work practice due to retirement and how to prepare for an unanticipated ending to a private practice. Part of being a responsible clinical social worker is anticipating the possibility that life events may interfere with our clinical social work practices. This means having a plan in place to notify clients, including having a colleague identified who is willing to enact this plan, maintaining records, and managing finances. Developing a mindful approach to ending our clinical social work practices is an important part of best practices. This program will review the emotional and practical issues involved in ending a practice and will offer suggestions on how to approach these issues. At the conclusion of this webinar participants will be able to understand the ways that retirement can be planned for and implemented, identify who will serve as a backup professional and an executor when practice ends in an unplanned way, and describe the emotional experience of ending a practice. PLEASE NOTE: There are no continuing education credits available for this program.
