You don’t say where you’re located or what your licensure is. I work at a community mental health facility and our social workers do anything from case management, crisis intervention, rape crisis, vocational training, group work, alcohol and drug counseling, and with an LISW they even do counseling. There are also social workers at Human Services, Children’s Services. and I have a social work instructor that has a private practice.

Christie also used his time to compare Obamacare’s rules governing Medicaid amounted to “extortion,” and said he was glad that that provision was struck down by the Supreme Court. “I was glad that the Supreme Court ruled that extortion is still illegal in America,” he said. “And that’s a relief because Obamacare on Medicaid to the states was extortion. It essentially said, you expand your program to where we tell you, and if you don’t, we’re taking all the rest of your money away. Well that’s extortion. It was in a whole bunch of nice words in the …
