Veteran BSW FAQ - As a social worker, I used to lead group therapy sessions. Can I still do that under my bachelor's social work license?
No, a bachelor's social worker cannot lead group therapy sessions. Group therapy sessions are limited to the practice of a master's social worker or limited master's social worker.
