Continuing Education

The goal for the Center for Lifelong Learning is to raise the standard of social work services for our Louisiana and Gulf South Communities. We do this by offering premiere training opportunities and yearly free trainings.

Social work continuing education is a vital component of the profession's competency and ethical values. Throughout their careers, social workers must continue building their knowledge and skills to better empower the individuals, families, groups, and communities they serve. TSSW knows transformation, personal growth, and professional development isn't limited to those engaging in our graduate level degree-seeking programs. Our Center for Lifelong Learning (CLL) facilitates social work continuing education for our entire community throughout the year. We offer mental health professionals a diverse collection of continuing education opportunities.
