Welcome to the Website of the Clinical Social Work Association!

Clinical social workers provide mental health treatment in agencies, clinics, institutions, hospitals and as private practitioners. In fact, almost 60% of mental health treatment nationwide is delivered by a clinical social worker.

The Clinical Social Work Association supports clinical social workers by providing:

  • clinical training
  • legislative advocacy on mental health matters, and
  • professional practice support.

Our values of respecting the dignity and self-determination of the individual, commitment to maintaining the competence and integrity of our practice and promoting a just society is unique to our profession. We are passionate about ensuring the highest level of care for our clients.

Thanks for taking the time to learn more about clinical social work and the Clinical Social Work Association.
