      Gender, social, economic, and healthcare disparity, record inflation, student debt, food, home, job insecurity, and the highest credit card debt are among the financial issues that make money struggles a pervasive problem for many Americans.  Built upon a foundation of financial illiteracy and a consumer-driven economy, these realities make social and economic equity illusive.

      No one chooses to have money problems, but most people do.  They need someone and somewhere to share the money secrets and questions they’ve been hiding from or avoiding all their lives.  Additional requirements include ethical, safe, non-judgmental professionals and spaces where they may talk, process, and learn how to begin to cope with and heal from financial stress, trauma, anxiety, shame, fear, etc.

      This session will highlight behavioral techniques for engaging, educating, motivating, and supporting clients.  Using reflection, a psychosocial approach, and an emphasis on change designed to encourage client interest and participation, attendees will experience original, hands-on activities and tools highlighting the money and mental health connection.         

      Financial Social Work is an interactive, reflective, behavioral model focused on helping clients heal their relationships with money and with themselves. It goes beyond dollars, cents, debt, and budgets to focus on thoughts, feelings, attitudes, values, experiences, and beliefs and how financial behavior determines financial circumstances.

      About the Presenter: Reeta Wolfsohn, CMSW, is the founder of the Financial Social Work (FSW) discipline and the Center for Financial Social Work.  For over two decades, she has been creating original programs, materials, products, and services to expand Financial Social Work's role in financial health and wellness.  Reeta is an NASW Social Work Pioneer inductee. With her co-author, Dr. Matt Scwartz, she is writing a textbook on Financial Social Work to be published by Cognella academic publishers in the summer of 2025.

      Objectives : 

      1. Understand what Financial Social Work is.
      2. Recognize the money and mental health connection.
      3. Discuss the benefits of  Financial Social Work on a micro, mezzo, and macro level.

      "Real Talk", a clinical consultation/support group developed with the oversight of the CSCSW's Diversity, Equity and Transformation (DET) Committee, the purpose of which is to provide a space for clinical social workers who identify as being Black, Indigenous, Mixed Race, or Person of Color (BIPOC) to meet on a monthly basis. The focus of this group is to provide an opportunity for networking, building solidarity, exploring intersectionality and decolonizing our practice. 

      This group is a closed group for individuals who self-identify as Black, Indigenous or Person of Color (BIPOC). The group's objective is to provide a brave space for those in the field to process the ongoing violence against and politicizing of minority groups' lives.

      This email reminder is sent out widely to all contacts and is not filtered by how individuals self-identify; therefore, if you have received this email but do not identify as BIPOC, we ask that you respect the intention of this group by not logging in to the meeting. However, we invite you to participate in our monthly CSCSW Diversity, Equity and Transformation (DET) Committee meetings as an ally. As a member of CSCSW, you are invited to attend a variety of open groups such as the Telehealth Consultation/Support Group, Support Group for Social Work Students and ASWs, and Ethics Consultation Group.


      This group is FREE; however, donations to CSCSW or the JAF Scholarship Fund are welcome.

      Please note that this group does NOT provide supervision to its members and no CEU’s are offered.

      "Real Talk" will be held via Zoom on a monthly basis. Those who register for the group will be sent a link to participate.

      Retirement! Is it on the horizon for you? The California Society for Clinical Social Work (CSCSW) invites you to join its Retirement Discussion Group (RDG). 

      Free group for CSCSW Members who are thinking about retiring

      The group will provide a mutually supportive space for participants to explore how it's done, logistics, tapering down, clinical issues with clients, and our feelings about it. As we benefit from consultation and assistance at the beginning and middle phases of our careers, it is no different when it comes to closing out a fulfilling career in a way that we feel is ethically and practically sound. 

      Make a cup of coffee and join us 8:30 a.m. - 10:00 a.m.

        Description:

        Significant evidence supports the efficacy of mindfulness in addressing anxiety. In this workshop we will learn the basic mindfulness approach and tools relevant to working with anxiety, with an emphasis on a 4-step model: (1) calm (2) awareness of anxiety via the RAIN methodology (recognize, allow, investigate, not identify with), (3) cultivating kindness for self in the midst of anxiety, and (4) “enlisting the wisdom mind”. Then we will focus on particular practices which clinicians can do both to deepen their own mindfulness practice and to work with individuals in anxious states. Previous exposure to mindfulness would be helpful.


        Learning Objectives:

        At the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

        1. Articulate scientific studies that emphasize mindfulness use for anxiety.  
        2. Utilize a 4-step model for working with anxiety: calm, aware, kind, think. 
        3. Interpret the RAIN methodology for personal and clinical use.  
        4. Practice the 4-step model to be used within a clinical setting.
