If you were not able to attend, we would still like to hear from you! Below is a link to the recommendations, and a link to a survey to help us gather data on your feedback. The last two session are being processed and will be posted on our website.

We would appreciate your response to the survey whether or not you were able to attend one of the feedback sessions. They survey is anonymous and closes September 10th at midnight. You will be able to indicate your level of support or opposition to the draft recommendations, and provide feedback on the process the department has used to engage with you in this work.

Link to recommendations

For those who have questions regarding the recommendation to create an alternate pathway for the LICSW exam. The Department was tasked with a specific scope in section 5 of 1724 to review and make recommendations on the exam specifically for the Social Work profession. Because of this and the documented barriers with the national exam for social work the recommendation does not include exam alternatives for the other behavioral health professions.

We appreciate your time and sharing your feedback! If you have any trouble accessing the survey or any questions, please contact Brandon Williams at 1724publiccomment@doh.wa.gov.
