NASW TN Chapter has approved 3.0 CE units for the 3-hour webinar and 1.0 CE unit for the 1-hour webinar.

During the webinars, information and clarity will be provided regarding the path for advanced licensure in the state of Tennessee.  A thorough review of the current rules will help participants understand the requirements and the eligibility for advanced licensure as a clinical or advanced generalist social worker. Case scenarios will help participants understand how to conceptualize and accurately document the social work experience.  Clarification will also be given regarding the role of the supervisor and how to accurately accumulate supervision hours and contact hours.

LEARNING SERIES SPEAKER  

Dr. Jason Schiffman  earned his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Southern California in 2003 and is currently a Professor and Director of Clinical Training at the University of California, Irvine, within the Department of Psychology. His research is dedicated to enhancing the identification and treatment of individuals at risk for psychosis, with a particular focus on refining diagnostic processes, exploring the efficacy of psychosocial interventions, reducing stigma, and addressing health inequities. Dr. Schiffman has published over 200 scientific articles and serves on the editorial boards of Psychiatric Services, Schizophrenia Bulletin, and Early Intervention in Psychiatry (the latter two of which he is an associate editor). He has successfully secured over $20 million in external funding, including grants from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). Dr. Schiffman has co-founded three university-community partnerships dedicated to supporting individuals at risk for psychosis, including a SAMHSA-funded CHRP clinic in Maryland and a CHRP program in Southern California. He is a nationally recognized consultant, providing guidance to numerous CHRP programs across the country, and is a member of the Early Serious Mental Illness Treatment and Technical Assistance (ESMI TTA) team, where he contributes to national efforts to enhance early intervention services. Additionally, he is one of only a few certified trainers in the administration of the Structured Interview for Psychosis Risk Syndromes (SIPS). Dr. Schiffman is also leading the development of a new Ph.D. program in Clinical Psychology at UC Irvine, further advancing the field through education and training.
