Dear CCSW friends,

The Coalition for Clinical Social Work is once again offering mentoring to early career social workers interested in using a psychodynamic and social justice lens to advance clinical practice and professional development.

In this time of Covid-19 related health risks, heightened appreciation of racial injustice, and changing workplace environments, mentoring seeks to provide an added layer of support, shared thinking, and connection. Mentees are paired with individual social worker mentors and commit to meeting at least once a month between September and June. Geography need no longer be a barrier as meetings will take place remotely.

An application is required and due no later than July 27. For more information and an application, please email us at [email protected]

In community,
Scott Haitsuka

Just a reminder about our next clinical evening — hope to see you tonight!

Please join us for our next clinical evening on Wednesday, Feb. 5!

“Crossing the Pacific Ocean: Paying for the Price of Whiteness”

Panel papers will include the sharing of each presenter’s multigenerational immigration history, case material, and a discussion of the challenges we face in moving toward a “beyond white” collective psychoanalysis.
