> BobWell..a few things. One, is I could fax you a copy of my diploma, and once I go get my membership with our Ontario College of Social Workers (the government's accreditation and mandated body), I'd be happy to find a way for you to cross reference/check that. (Maybe through their website...I could give you my membership info.) The only reason I haven't renewed this year is a)cost, and b) I have taken a leave of absence from work...doing other smaller non-social work jobs while getting better (from my illness.)I am planning on renewing next month.
I have to admit..and this seems a bit odd...but for confidentiality reasons, I would have to post under my full name w/ credentials, rather then my pseudonym I use.
I know there are a few others in the helping profession on here, and I bet they would be glad to participate. You can visit my respected Ontario College of Social Workers at:

Thanks!..
