- LMSW (Licensed Master Social Worker) Committee: Help reach out to new Master’s Level Social Workers in the Mental Health field in Georgia. It can be difficult to navigate the process of becoming a clinical social worker, so this committee develops targeted outreach to encourage new member use of mentoring meetings, participation in networking events, and use of low cost supervision.

- Mentorship: The mentorship committee maintains a list of informal mentors in various fields of social work. This list is used in mentorship committee meetings to offer LMSW social workers a mentor they can contact for more information regarding different areas of interest. If you are interested in being an informal mentor, please contact mentor@gscsw.org
- Social Media: The Georgia Society for Clinical Social Work has historically had a Public Relations committee, whose chair is a member of the GSCSW board. As committee roles have changed and social media has become a part of everyday life, we are expanding the PR committee to include social media, which may encompass updating and monitoring our Facebook page, sending tweets from our Twitter feed, and keeping abreast of the aspects of social media which are appropriate for GSCSW for the dissemination of current news, updates, upcoming events, etc. If you have an interest in social media and would like to know more about this committee, please contact socialmedia@gscsw.org
