Rockland 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 Sundays once month, September thru May at St. Thomas Aquinas College, in Sparkill, NY. We offer a variety of CEU programs and non-CEU educational presentations (which are free of charge) to members. Students are welcome to attend any of our programs free of charge. Our monthly gatherings are a great place to network, job hunt, make professional announcements/ requests and enjoy a relaxing Sunday with your professional colleagues. All our meetings offer morning coffee and lunch during programs. The Rockland Board also meets on a regular basis prior to our presentations to work toward the goals of attracting new members, being fiscally sounds, being on top of current events in the field, and developing new programs. You may check the Rockland Chapter Calendar for information about our upcoming educational programs and other activities.
We always welcome new Board Members. The Rockland Chapter has an Education Committee, Legislative Committee, Membership Committee, Mentorship Committee and a 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 or Orsolya Clifford, LCSW-R President of Rockland Chapter.

Education Committee
The Education Committee plans, coordinates, and implements the Chapter’s program of monthly educational events. Periodically, the Chapter offers CEU courses (continuing education units) approved by the NY State Board of Education (a registration fee for attendance is required). Other non-CEU events offered include clinical workshops, networking opportunities, lunch, and book and film discussions; these are free for all NYSSCSW members and students – nonmembers may attend with a nominal fee. For further information about the Education programming or to volunteer to serve on the committee, kindly contact the education chair.
