This course fulfills the training requirement mandated by the Virginia Board of Social Work to provide clinical supervision for LCSW candidates. The Virginia Board of Counseling recently updated their regulations for LPC and LMFT licensure, however, now stating: 

• For LPC and LMFT licensure, your supervisor must hold an active, unrestricted license as a LPC or LMFT only, in the jurisdiction where the supervision is being provided. At least 100 of the supervision hours must be supervised by a LPC. **Previously approved supervisors who are substance abuse treatment practitioners, school psychologists, clinical psychologists, clinical social workers, or psychiatrists can provide supervision until August 24, 2017. 

 

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 explores the best practices in independent supervision, while Day 2 focuses on Cultural Competency in Supervision.

 

 

Day 1: Independent Clinical Supervision: Current Best Practices and Managing Vicarious Liability​ (7 CE Hours, 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

 

 

Day 2: From Cultural Awareness to Competence in Clinical Supervision: Knowledge, Self-Reflection, Power Communication & Practice (7 CE Hours, 2 hours Ethics)

This workshop identifies critical knowledge, behavioral aspects and practice strategies for successful multicultural supervision. The course addresses the range of attitudes, values and assumptions that are based on cultural, ethnic, gender, racial and other interpersonal differences that facilitate or impede effective supervisor-supervisee interactions and successful relationship outcomes. The presentation includes didactic and experiential learning opportunities with a focus on:

• Identification of key theoretical concepts of multicultural perspectives
• Self-reflection and interpersonal multi-cultural sensitivity
• Evidence-based multicultural communication skills
• Strategic supervision practice strategies to enhance multicultural supervision processes
