We are excited to announce a Call for Proposals for the California Society for Clinical Social Work’s Half-Day Conference, taking place Saturday, March 14, 2026 from 8am -12pm — our first in-person conference since the COVID-19 pandemic! The conference will be in the Los Angeles district, exact location to be determined.

Conference Theme: From Isolation to Integration: Strengthening Clinical Social Work Through Connection
This theme reflects our shared journey back to in-person connection and collaboration, emphasizing how community, relationships, and dialogue can enrich and sustain clinical practice.

We invite proposals from licensed and associate clinical social workers as well as other clinical practitioners for presentations that explore the many ways we can strengthen the profession through community-building, cross-disciplinary collaboration, cultural humility, clinical innovation, or systems impact through an intersectional, anti-racist, culturally inclusive lens that centers a spectrum of abilities. 

Proposal Guidelines:

• Presentations may include lectures, workshops, case discussions, or panel sessions (limit 3 participants)
  

• Sessions will be approximately 45-60 minutes in length
  

• All proposals must be submitted via Formstack by September 30, 2025
  

Admission to the conference will be free for presenters and we are aiming (if the budget allows) for an honorarium.

We’re excited to welcome your ideas and energy as we come together to celebrate and advance the field of clinical social work. Please share this call with colleagues who might be interested in submitting.

If you’re interested in sponsorship or exhibitor opportunities, or if you have any questions, please email us at info@clinicalsocialworksociety.org for more information. Please share this announcement with any potential speakers who may be interested in submitting a proposal.

Warm regards,

The CSCSW Board of Directors
