EVENTS

An important mission of the MSCSW is to promote excellence in clinical social work practice. To that end, we sponsor a range of educational opportunities. Every year we offer several half day workshops and, on occasion, a full day workshop on a variety of topics. The schedule for this year is listed below. In addition, our members participate in a number of study groups, for which CEU's are available. The groups, for members only, are formed and run those interested in learning more about a particular area of clinical practice. For more information on these groups, see the Study Groups section below. MSCSW members' feedback is that the opportunity to learn and to network with other practitioners are the two most valuable aspects of belonging to the society.

Business Issues in Private Practice Consultation Group

The group is facilitated by two seasoned private practitioners and there is no cost. Any MSCSW member is invited to come.

Study Groups

Value, camaraderie and fun! Study Groups promote ongoing social work education, collaboration, peer leadership and the exploration of a wide range of clinical interests.

A Study Group can be a valuable resource for Society members, since no fee is charged for participation and members themselves can establish the size, time, place, frequency, content and learning objectives of the group. Groups are usually led by peers, though they may be leader-led. Group discussion may utilize resources such as books, articles, films, case examples, or even call upon relevant outside expertise. Each Study Group should select a coordinator to record attendance and document educational content for each session.
