Event Proposal

The South Carolina Clinical Mental Health Counselors Association (SCCMHCA) is currently seeking presenters for the upcoming year, and we believe that your expertise and experience would be a valuable contribution. We are interested in expanding your impact by sharing your knowledge with a broader audience. Presenting with SCCMHCA offers several benefits, including increased visibility for your practice among our more than 300 active members, which include students, interns, and licensed professionals.

This visibility could lead to potential referrals and connections with supervisees. Additionally, it is an excellent way to support the mental health counseling community, share insights with colleagues, and enhance your presentation skills for future opportunities.

SCCMHCA is seeking presentations focused on knowledge, skills, and attitudes relevant to the profession. Our members often request topics that improve counseling abilities, fulfill licensure requirements, and provide insights on managing a practice. Presentations on crisis, trauma, resilience, and compassion fatigue are also frequently in demand. We offer flexibility to present online via Zoom or in person at one of the local Universities.
