AI Summary
This bill aims to define the practice of clinical social work in Massachusetts. It proposes to amend the state's existing law by replacing the definition of "The independent practice of clinical social work" with a new definition of "Clinical social work practice." The new definition outlines the scope of clinical social work, including assessment, evaluation, psychotherapy, counseling, advocacy, consultation, supervision, and case management services. It emphasizes that clinical social work practice is evidence-informed, multi-systemic, trauma-informed, and committed to principles of racial, economic, and social justice, as outlined in the National Association of Social Workers Code of Ethics.
