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.

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.
Here
is the Clinical Social Work Study Groups Brochure.
CEUs
Study Groups seeking CEUs must record the following:
- The learning objectives of the Study Group.
- Educational content of the Study Group including a bibliography.
- A list of participants and a list of their attendance at each meeting.
|
How to Start a Study Group
- Identify a subject you would like to study that contains social work content.
- Find two, three, four or more members to meet with you.
- Identify a place and time to meet.
- Obtain the study group paperwork from Membership Services Member and Newsletter Coordinator, Bevcaruso@gmail.com or 612-372-2618.
