What is The Practice Circle?
The Practice Circle is a collaborative effort between the South Carolina Society for Clinical Social Work (SCSCSW) and the South Carolina Psychological Association (SCPA). These informal, salon-style gatherings bring clinicians together in a virtual space to share knowledge, support one another, and explore the realities of private practice.

HOW IT WORKS
-
Format: One-hour virtual meetings, once a month.
-
Facilitation: Each session is led by a volunteer attendee who introduces a topic of interest. The facilitator should have a working knowledge of the subject (through practice or research) and a willingness to start the conversation. No formal presentations required.
-
Focus: Open discussion, peer consultation, and practical exchange of ideas.
-
Participants: Open to members of both organizations and students seeking to expand their knowledge.
-
CEUs: These sessions are intentionally informal and do not offer CEUs.
