RSWs in private practice may be experts in their particular area of work. This makes them well suited to provide services to groups of individuals that are interested in those areas of expertise, rather than individual counseling sessions. Depending on your audience, you may want to explore: workshops, support groups, or webinars.
- Make a list of the topics you would like to cover
- Prepare an outline, and gather suitable handouts and other supporting materials
- Explore if there is a demand for you to train, facilitate, or teach, such as corporate or community workshops, continuing education programs, and college courses
- Familiarize yourself with adult learning theory and training principles, and consider taking a short course to practice your facilitation skills
These engagements will also help raise awareness of your private practice counseling services and will establish you as a respected expert in your community. Bring your business cards to these engagements but remember your ethical responsibilities. For example It would be acceptable to have a biography that mentions your private practice and the services you offer. It would be considered unethical, however, to recommend to workshop participants to see you in private practice.
