Covid-19 and the need for social distancing has necessitated a transition to telehealth. For many of us, it’s our first time using videoconferencing in our work. The change presents challenges and opportunities, but is definitely an adjustment. This group is an opportunity for us to get together (virtually of course) to share our experience and support each other through this challenging time.
During this crisis, the CSCSW community has come together to provide needed updates about telehealth, insurance and government regulations. Our listserv has been an invaluable resource for connecting and providing support to our members.
If you are a member and have not joined the listserv, contact Donna Dietz, CSCSW Administrator at info@clinicalsocialworksociety.org to be added to the Google Group.
If you are not a member join today at a prorated amount - click here to learn more.
