Hello, Happy Monday. My MSW department is working on a training for MSW students on AI use. My section is on issues related to practicum. We are discussing both academic and social work practice in general, which covers a lot of practicum-related issues. I am looking for any resources, articles, or ...

Greetings, I have a student moving to Statesville, NC. We have not placed a student there yet. I am looking for some leads for an MSW practicum student in that area.
