Welcome Letter
Hello and Welcome to The Professional Matrix,
I am a social worker. Rather, I am a proud social worker. I have found this profession
rewarding, dynamic, and challenging. While serving as the representative for the Minnesota
Society for Clinical Social Work on the Minnesota Coalition for Social Workers, I watched and
participated in the process that led to legislation that raised the standards for obtaining
social work licensure at all levels. I believe that the new standards for social workers will
make our profession stronger, and will better serve the people we work with everyday.
However, I felt, as did many others, concern for those new graduates who will need to meet
these standards. How will the practical aspects of this excellent law be implemented? How will
people find supervisors and how will they be able to pay for it? And, how can we help and
support those able to supervise in order to expand the resource of supervision?
There are approximately 11,000 social workers in Minnesota. All of us are the answer to these
questions. This fulfilling profession we belong to, have passion about, have experience in,
needs us to be a resource to its members. All of us have experience and knowledge, and sharing
that with others is beneficial for individuals as well as for the profession as a whole.
I started The Professional Matrix Inc, in 2008. The goal is to assist both supervisors
and supervisees connect with each other, offer affordable resources, meet the new requirements
for supervision/continuing education, and to make the process easier and more user friendly.
I hope that The Professional Matrix serves you well.
