The profession of social work profoundly affects the lives of the people of this state; therefore, to safeguard the public health, safety and welfare of the people of New Mexico against the unregulated practice of social work, the legislature finds it necessary that a proper regulatory authority be established for persons who seek to engage in the practice of social work.
