Practicing Across State Lines
& The Social Work Compact:
What You Need to Know

Live Interactive Webinar

Target Audience: Social Workers

On Tuesday, August 25, 2026 we hosted a 90-minute interactive webinar or practicing across state lines and the social work compact.

Practicing across state lines has been, for decades, a topic of confusion for many social work professionals. For the past two years, additional misunderstandings have emerged surrounding the development and implementation of the Social Work Multistate Compact.

This webinar will provide social work professionals with the information they need to understand the most important concepts related to practicing across state lines, including the latest updates on the Compact.
