Supporting, educating, and innovating

2024-2025 Goal

To create solutions to address behavioral health workforce needs.

  1. Create free to low cost supervision groups for providers without access to a licensed provider in their organization, agency or facility.

  2. Create virtual group training with free to low cost books and supplies to assist individuals with passing their LCPC and LCSW exams for state licensure.

  3. Develop partnerships with other businesses, schools, committees and organizations looking to expand educational pipelines for future behavioral health professionals.

Illinois Center for Social Work Development, LLC was created for: Individuals and students interested in a career in social work and behavioral healthcare

We know that mental health care is deeply needed in our communities, but did you know that our weakest link in meeting these demands is due to the critical lack of licensed mental health professionals?

Academic Partnership

Students with a bachelor’s degree interested in furthering their education and career potential can work with our academic on line providers to assure they are receiving stellar mission driven education from an accredited institution.

We will be working closely with our academic providers in obtaining critical internship placements especially in the virtual healthcare field.
