Metropolitan Chapter

The Metropolitan Chapter of the New York State Society of Clinical Social Workers has provided professional development and support services for clinicians in the counties of New York, Brooklyn, and the Bronx since the early 1970’s.

The committees are the bulwark of the Chapter. Our committees include:

  • Membership Committee
  • Area Peer Support Committee
  • Practice committees bringing together members interested in particular areas of clinical social work practice, such as:
    • Addictions
    • Aging Issues
    • Infertility and Family-Building Practice
    • Psychoanalysis
    • Gender & Sexuality
    • Racial Equity

If you wish to join a committee, please contact the committee chairperson listed below.

We welcome you to attend our Board meetings, educational programs and other activities, to learn about the Society and the Metropolitan Chapter, to join with us and to participate actively in Metropolitan Chapter activities. Please contact the Chapter President to explore issues of concern, current or future goals, and suggestions for new committees.
