TSCSW Presents
The Annual Fall Conference
at Barron’s Inn
in Fredericksburg, Texas
September 19th & 20th, 2008

"Counseling Men Effectively"
           view the brochure

Featuring Dr. Wray Pascoe
of Manitoba, Canada

Men tend to seek help when their partner is threatening to leave, their job is in jeopardy, or their functioning is impaired due to depression or substance abuse. Practitioners protest that men are difficult to engage and resist engagement in the process. Male clients present unique challenges to both male and female counselors.

This workshop will appeal to both the beginning as well as the experienced therapist. In addition, practitioners who work with couples, men experiencing health problems or offenders will find the content useful.

The format will be a combination of didactic presentation, case discussion, video presentation, role-play and small group discussion on key issues. The day will conclude with a question and answer period.

Mission

The Texas Society for Clinical Social Work was founded thirty years ago to address the “in the trenches” needs and concerns of social workers in clinical practice in agencies, hospitals, and/or private practice. The Texas Society for Clinical Social Work strives to promote excellence in clinical social work practice, and maintain the identity of clinical social work as a distinct profession within the mental health field. The practice of clinical social work is rooted in the basic values of the social work profession that includes a commitment to the dignity, well-being, and self-determination of the individual.
