Best Practices in Clinical Supervision for Kansas Social Workers

Come learn the nuts and bolts of becoming a clinical supervisor or refresh your skills if you are a seasoned supervisor. Under the umbrella of NASW's requirements, we will look at the role and responsibilities of clinical social work supervisor and supervisee. By using experiential activities, powerpoint, case scenarios and videos, you will identify clinical supervision ethics, values, liabilities and best practice for documentation. Strategies for interviewing and selecting potential supervisees and the therapeutic alliance in supervision will be reviewed as well. You will get sample contracts, interview questions, documentation, and topics for supervision. Group supervision strategies, assessment of the clinician and how to provide meaningful feedback is included. We will discuss how to navigate subpoenas, abuse reporting and custody, and other liability and legal issues. Finally, you will walk away with creative supervision activities you can implement immediately! Training includes 3 hours of ETHICS!
