    Join us for a monthly peer consultation group designed for clinical social workers interested in understanding and working through a psychodynamic lens in a supportive, collegial environment. Transference, countertransference and other relational dynamics will be explored to further our understanding and clinical work with our clients. This is a CSCSW members only group open to those at all levels of practice, including students, ASW’s and LCSW’s. This group usually meets on the second Saturday of the month.   

    NOTE: This Consultation Group does not meet supervision requirements for licensure hours, and neither the leader nor the CSCSW is responsible for the participants’ clinical work.

    Please join us at our next support group for Social work students and ASWs.

    Feeling lost, stressed, excited? Don't have time for the self care everyone keeps talking about? You are not alone! 

    Bring your questions and concerns, share your journey and connect with others, through this open group for any social work student or ASW in need of support.  The group will meet with members once a month to discuss topics related to being a social work student or graduate in pursuit of a clinical license.

    The forum will provide a semi-structured discussion in a safe and encouraging space. Topics are expected to be broad in range but may include: internships, managing hours and licensing exams, supervisors and supervision.  The goal of this group is to meet with other aspiring clinical social workers and share successes, challenges, stressors and ethical issues.

    Group will meet on Zoom the third Thursday of each month from 5:00 to 6:00.  Cost is free to members and non-members.

    If you have any questions about the support group, please contact Emily Plain, MSW |   cscswgla@gmail.com

    Retirement! Is it on the horizon for you? The California Society for Clinical Social Work (CSCSW) invites you to join its Retirement Discussion Group (RDG). 

    Free group for CSCSW Members who are thinking about retiring

    The group will provide a mutually supportive space for participants to explore how it's done, logistics, tapering down, clinical issues with clients, and our feelings about it. As we benefit from consultation and assistance at the beginning and middle phases of our careers, it is no different when it comes to closing out a fulfilling career in a way that we feel is ethically and practically sound. 

    Make a cup of coffee and join us 8:30 a.m. - 10:00 a.m.
