Generating Referrals...ideas???
Well, my boss seemed somewhat concerned that I haven't been generating enough of my own work...He wants me to generate more of my own referrals from DCFS, JJS, and the community. Anyone run a private practice, and what do you do to generate referrals???

Just make something up.
are you looking for psychos?:)
Maybe your supervisor could shed some light on how he generates referrals through those sources, since he was the one to give you the constructive criticism...
I agree with Dani. I have also recently contacted all the pediatricians, etc in the area and offered to buy lunch. Typically they just want my card and then I don't ahve to pay for lunch. I've gotten some good referrals that way. I have also offered to give free talks at local schools, nonprofit agencies, etc that have generated referrals. I had my name added to every resource directory I could find on the web that catered to my clientele, sent out announcements to all my previous supervisors, and contacted all the psychologists I know (who don't specialize in the same stuff).
With all that said -- my private practice still drags sometimes!
