What else do I need to know?
Mississippi social work licenses must be renewed every 2 years by either April 30 (LMSW and LCSW) or by September 30 (LSW).
Each renewal cycle, Mississippi social workers must complete:
- 4 hours in Ethics (CE4Less offers a number of ethics courses that may be used to satisfy this requirement, including Ethics & Boundary Issues and Ethics & Telemental Health)
- 2 hours in Cultural Diversity / Multicultural Issues / Cultural Competency (our course in Intimate Partner Violence in Culturally Diverse Groups and Special Populations satisfies this requirement)
- 1 hour in Mandated Reporting
Continuing education hours completed in the 3 years prior to the current license expiration date may generally be carried over to the following license renewal (see this announcement from the Mississippi Board for full details); however, hours earned to satisfy the required topics above may not be carried over from prior renewal periods.
Mississippi has amended certain requirements that were changed in response to COVID-19. Please see this announcement from the Mississippi Board for full details. This page reflects these updated requirements.
