Over the past year, NASW-TX worked with the SMU Dedman School of Law's First Amendment Clinic on the intersection of the First Amendment and social work. We are releasing three different handouts that cover Texas laws, rules and the First Amendment:

First Amendment Rights & the Psychotherapist-Patient Privilege - Download PDF				First Amendment Rights & Social Workers in Public Schools - Download PDF				Social Work & Abortion Counseling - Download PDF

We hope you use these tools to shape your engagement with clients, and that they help as you draft policies and consider best practices in your work. NASW-TX is committed to supporting social work and social workers in Texas and will continue to monitor legislative and regulatory developments in the state to ensure you are informed and prepared to practice in Texas.
