Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW)

• To facilitate this journey, our program in partnership with Cannenta Center is committed to removing financial barriers by offering LMSWs no-cost supervision and financial support for state testing. This ensures that aspiring clinical social workers can acquire the requisite skills and knowledge without the added burden of financial constraints. Furthermore, we provide LMSWs with valuable opportunities to work with a diverse population, spanning various demographics such as age, race, and sexual orientation. This exposure allows professionals to hone their skills in understanding and addressing the unique needs of different communities. In addition to this, our program goes beyond the basics by offering LMSWs supplemental professional training. This includes specialized sessions in play therapy supervision and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), enriching their clinical skill set and preparing them for the multifaceted challenges of clinical social work. Through these comprehensive provisions, we aim to empower LMSWs for successful and impactful contributions to the field of social work.

Master Social Worker (MSW)

• In partnership with Cannenta Center, we provide ongoing, no-cost tutoring and financial assistance for state exam fees until the MSW successfully passes the Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) exam. Through this commitment, Cannenta Center aims to bridge gaps and ensure that every MSW, especially those from minority backgrounds, can navigate the initial licensing process successfully. This support extends beyond academic assistance, acknowledging the importance of financial accessibility.

Social Work Interns

• Cannenta Center is committed to offering comprehensive field supervision for university social work interns seeking valuable experience with underserved populations. Our program places a strong emphasis on utilizing culturally modified modalities and bilingual skills to ensure interns are well-equipped to address the diverse needs of the communities they serve. In addition to this, our commitment extends beyond the internship period. Social work interns at Cannenta Center will have the opportunity to apply for any open positions at Cannenta Center and/or HHM Health upon graduation. This transition pathway encourages the seamless integration of talented professionals into the workforce, fostering a continuity of care for the communities we serve.
• Furthermore, we recognize and value the dedication of our interns to community service. As part of our program, interns will earn hours towards the President’s Volunteer Service Award, acknowledging and celebrating their commitment to making a positive impact on society. This dual opportunity not only prepares interns for successful professional careers but also instills a sense of social responsibility and community engagement that aligns with the core values of Cannenta Center and HHM Health.
