Welcome to the web page of the Brooklyn Chapter of the New York State Society for Clinical Social Work.  The Brooklyn Chapter covers Kings County (the Borough of Brooklyn in New York City). 

The Chapter has meetings which are held periodically at the home of one of its members in Brooklyn.  These meetings are to facilitate networking among Chapter members and to discuss Chapter activities and plans.  Each of these meetings includes an educational presentation.  You can check the Brooklyn Chapter Calendar on the website to get information about our Chapter meetings, educational programs and other activities. 

The Brooklyn Chapter has chapter representatives on the Society’s Disaster Preparedness Committee, Legislative Committee and Website Committee.  If you have any questions about a committee or wish to join a committee, you may contact the committee's chairperson listed below.  You may check the Brooklyn Chapter Calendar for information about committee meetings and programs.

Disaster Preparedness Committee 

The Society’s Disaster Preparedness Committee works to develop a list of training resources where members who wish to volunteer in disaster situations can receive approved training, as well as a list of organizations where they can volunteer once they are trained.  The Committee also works to compile a list of members who are trained in disaster response and the disaster response organizations with whom they are affiliated.  To obtain training, locate an organization where you can volunteer, to inform the Society if you have had disaster response training and/or are a volunteer in a disaster response organization, or if you want information about disaster response preparedness you may contact the committee chairperson.
