During this highly interactive seminar, attendees will engage with other professionals to strengthen their foundation of today’s best practice knowledge and enhance their skills to function effectively in the critical role of clinical supervisor. Day 1 focuses on the dynamics of group supervision, while Day 2 explores the best practices in independent supervision.

Day 1: Supervision: Crafting Successful Group Supervision (7 CE Hours, 2 hours Ethics)
Conducting clinical supervision in a group setting brings richness and a different energy to the process than one-on-one supervision. Do you have the tools to be successful? You have the supervisees, and a site to meet, but what comes next? Do you have the skills, the competencies, and the knowledge of today’s best practice models?

This course will give you a comprehensive overview of what you need to begin successfully supervising groups, including:

• A review of the impact of the regulations;
• A review of best practices for contracting, record-keeping and regulatory compliance;
• A review of ethical implications for consideration;
• An opportunity to examine common challenges of group supervision, including transference and counter-transference in group settings, confidentiality considerations, and how to manage processes;
• A review of specific Group Supervision models, including Interactional, Competency-Based, Task and Reflective methodologies of practice

Learning objectives for course participants include:

• Identifying the essential requirements of group clinical supervision practice;
• Understanding the unique needs and challenges of supervising a group; and
• Learning a variety of models, tools, and best practices that will result in effective group supervision.

 

Day 2: Supervision: Independent Supervision Best Practices & Managing Vicarious Liability (7 CE Hours, Includes 7 hours Ethics)
Regulations for clinical social work supervision have increased both supervisory accountability and liability for competent practice across the country, especially in the Commonwealth of Virginia. High quality supervision and competent clinical supervisors are actively being sought out by the next generation of clinical professionals. While employers strive to provide the requisite supervision hours mandated by boards, not all are in an organizational or fiscal position to do so. As a result, the demand for Independent Clinical Supervision is on the rise.

Amid the challenging social work practice climate, what must practitioners engaging in the exciting practice arena of Independent Clinical Supervision know to assure a successful professional experience? From established resources of practice accountability to the formulation of supervision contracts, this interactive training will both educate and empower attendees. Plan to attend and gain the knowledge and confidence to master your own independent supervisory processes!

Learning Objectives: 

At the end of this course, attendees will be able to:

• Identify the essential requirements of independent clinical supervision practice
• Understand vicarious liability in the independent clinical supervision process. 
• Recognize how evaluation is integral to the independent supervision process

 

Attendees who attend both days will earn 14.0 Category I Contact Hours, including 9.0 Category I Contact Hours of Ethics.
