The NASW New Mexico (NM) Chapter urgently calls for your participation to advance the Social Work Licensure Compact in our state. Immediate action is essential to join this critical interstate agreement, which addresses workforce shortages by providing solutions to the current lack of social workers, improves accessibility by allowing social workers to practice across state lines, and enhances mental health support to meet evolving needs. The compact is vital for adapting to new trends, including telehealth, and reducing the financial burdens associated with multi-state licensure.
