Ethics seminars are 2 hours long and take place 3-4 times a year virtually. Group participation is highly encouraged in this process. They are a wonderful opportunity to discuss ethical dilemmas with your colleagues and to meet the two-hour requirement for social work licensure. Look for emails on the Listserv, as well as the calendar of events, about when future seminars will be held.

Next Seminar: TBD

Free for MSCSW members. Email bevcaruso@gmail.com for the Zoom link.

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.

For MSCSW members only and are free.
