AMHSW Mentorship Program: Helping Social Workers Achieve Mental Health Accreditation
Becoming an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker (AMHSW) is one of the highest professional endorsements available through the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW). It recognises advanced expertise in mental health practice, clinical knowledge, and the capacity to deliver evidence-based psychological therapies.
The application process, however, is notoriously stringent. Many highly capable social workers either struggle to meet the rigorous assessment standards or abandon the process midway due to its complexity and time-consuming process. Yes, we hear you and we want to support you in this journey.
Through our AMHSW Mentorship Program, our highly qualified and experienced AMHSWs will guide social workers step-by-step in preparing their AMHSW application, strengthening their clinical evidence, and aligning their professional practice examples with AASW assessments and requirements.
Our aim is to assist you in obtaining this prestigious mental health credential and also to ensure you feel confident and supported throughout the application and stringent assessment process.
