Chapter
Welcome to the web page of the Rockland Chapter of
the New York State Society for Clinical Social Work,
Inc. The Rockland Chapter covers Rockland County.
The Rockland Chapter Board convenes every month (except
July and August) at the St. Thomas Aquinas College,
in Sparkill. After the monthly Chapter Board
meeting, the Chapter offers a one hour open clinical
case discussion group, followed by lunch, during which
there is an opportunity for networking. After
lunch, there is a monthly continuing professional education
workshop for which continuing education credits are
awarded. The Chapter also has an annual education
conference in the Spring. You may check the Rockland
Chapter Calendar for information about Chapter
Board meetings, educational programs and other activities.
