Chapter Chats initially emerged out of a need to socially connect social workers while practicing physical distancing. They have grown into an accessible and easy way for social workers to share resources, network, and engage with one another across the State and Nation. These are conversations hosted by social workers, for social workers. Open to all who would like to attend, and any NASW member is invited to host a topic or conversation!

Social work professionals from the NYS Office of Mental Health will discuss the role of social workers in public sector mental healthcare, specifically treatment of historically marginalized, underserved, and unserved populations. This chat will focus on the unique opportunities social workers have in providing patient-centered, culturally humble, and individualized services in a variety of settings (inpatient, outpatient, forensic) and geographic locations (rural, urban) within the public sector. This chat will also discuss the differences in providing professional social work services in the private and public sector.
