CA AB2590

Establishes a pilot program at the State Department of Social Services to develop a mentorship program for social workers, upon legislative appropriation.

Matches experienced social workers with at least 10 years in the profession with those who have graduated within 6 years, are transitioning to a different field of practice, or have relocated to a new geographical work area.

Recognizes that mentorship provides benefits to both mentors and mentees, particularly for individuals transitioning from training into casework or changing practice areas.
