Welcome to the site for Students and New Professionals. PSCSW Programs targeted for students and recent graduates include our Low Fee Supervision Referral List; our Mentoring Program; and our Clinical Awards for Excellence Program.  We hope all students and new professionals will take advantage of our programs, and that you will see the advantages of joining PSCSW if you are not already a member. For your convenience the PSCSW Membership Application is available here to print and send.

Our Low Fee Supervision List; and information about our Mentoring Program can be obtained on our Members Only Site.  The Low Fee Supervision program matches LCSW candidates working in agency or fee-for-service settings with qualified supervisors offering supervision at a fee of $25 per hour or at the lowest rate of the fee-for-service practice. The Mentoring Program matches members up to three years out of graduate school, or new to our area, with a qualified mentor in their field of interest.  The Mentoring Program is deigned to help clinical social workers with issues such as professional transition; professional isolation; and career direction and focus.  Many recent graduates have greatly benefited from the support of PSCSW senior members through supervision or mentoring.

PSCSW also conducts an awards program for second-year-practice students in Pennsylvania.  Students are encouraged to submit clinical case studies in our competition.  Prizes include cash awards, Society membership, and a recognition ceremony.  Please see the Clinical Awards Program link on our home page for details and instructions or reference this link.
