Advocacy for Latinos in Texas and Arkansas

Diana Beltran is a licensed clinical social worker in both Texas and Arkansas. She received her MSW at Arkansas-Little Rock.  She is currently the Clinical Operations Director at Therapy Works Counseling group practice in the Dallas area.   We discuss her role as a clinical director, the importance of providing services to the Latino population.    We also share our thoughts on the political climate in both Texas and Arkansas as Texas Governor Abbott and newly elected Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders respectively run their states and how it relates to social work.   We discuss the upcoming Latinx in Social Work Summit happening on Saturday March 4th.  I will be one of the speakers.  Get your tickets at https://www.cannentafoundation.org/latinx-book-summit Diana can be found on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/diana-beltran-lcsw-12488419a  This episode is sponsored by our new sponsor Heard Technologies, Inc. Heard is the financial back-office for mental health professionals. On average, they save therapists more than 60 hours per year in financial record-keeping and $5K in taxes. If you're a social worker in private practice, they'll take care of all your accounting needs, including bookkeeping, taxes, payroll. They support your business throughout the year to make sure you're getting the maximum deductions. I highly recommend them if you're looking for help with your finances.
