Richmond Chapter – REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS

for The Dr. Henry E. Morris, LCSW – 50th VSCSW Anniversary
Educational Program

Help Us Celebrate!
The Richmond Chapter of The Society for Clinical Social (VSCSW) is seeking professionals who represent diverse roles, organizations, backgrounds, client populations served, and theoretical orientations, to present on topics related to social work, clinical practice, practice informed research and research-informed practice, social justice and anti-oppression work, and profession behavior and ethics. We welcome proposals from clinical professionals (social work or non-social work) who are willing to share their insight and expertise with the VSCSW clinical community and beyond. Looking to schedule first presenters in mid-Fall 2025, and all throughout the 2026 anniversary year and into 2027.

Education Program Details
Proposed educational programs must be related to the practice of social work or another behavioral health field. They can pertain to ethics, standards of practice for the behavioral health professions, or to laws governing the practice of social work in Virginia. VSCSW sponsored workshops, seminars, conferences or courses, are approved by the Virginia Board of Social Work regulations for continuing education hours as VSCSW is an affiliate of The Clinical Social Work Association (CSWA). VSCSW provides an honorarium to presenters for their presentations (typically $100 per hour of program.)

Henry Morris and The Society
VSCSW was established in 1976 in Richmond, and its first President was co-founder Henry Morris. For 50 years, Henry practiced social work in the Richmond community, providing individual and group psychotherapy. He taught, mentored, and provided clinical supervision to many MSWs, and for 50 years, VSCSW has promoted the highest standards of professional education and clinical social work practice. The Society has now expanded into four Chapters across the state – Eastern, Richmond, Blue Ridge, and Roanoke. Henry was passionate about social work, The Society, and continuing education. He enjoyed seeing our professional community explore and discuss clinical practice together, and took delight in  watching young practitioners share their experiences, skills, and insights. There is no better way to honor Henry and his life’s work than continuing to engage in The Society’s educational activities.
