SMHCA Presentation Proposal Form

SMHCA Presentation Proposal Form

Trainings are scheduled for the 3rd Friday of every month from 1:30-4:30 PM ET. The Suncoast Mental Health Counselors Association (SMHCA) 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 SMHCA offers several benefits, including increased visibility for your practice among our more than 400 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. SMHCA 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 the option to present either online via Zoom or in person at one of the local Universities. Although our budget only covers materials and handout expenses, the exposure and professional development opportunities can be substantial.
