“Am I Doing This Right?”: Peer Support for Supervisors

October 22, 2024, 12 p.m. – 1 p.m. 

Oftentimes after members take our popular Foundations of Supervision course and begin supervising LCSW candidates, new questions come up.  

1. Am I doing this right? 

2. How do I navigate differences in opinion when my supervisee and I practice different modalities? 

3. What if my supervisee and I disagree on an approach due to our cultural differences? 

These types of questions are common, but also nuanced. Insight from one of our instructors and a group of your fellow supervisors can help. That’s why we developed our free, members-only “Peer Support for Supervisors” sessions. 

For these 1-1.5 hour-sessions, the instructor will select a general topic area to focus on and then solicit questions from registered participants prior to the session. The instructor will then use these pre-submitted questions to guide the session and lead the discussion.   

On October 22 the general topic area will be "Competing urgent demands: How to be consistently present with your supervisee(s) as a supervisor." Discussion will take place around how to avoid “hallway supervision” by managing competing work demands, stress, and your self-care plan to be consistently present with supervisee(s). Please include your questions/scenarios around this topic in your registration. 

Supervisors will earn 1 Category I Contact Hour. 

The session is limited to 16 attendees. If you sign up and cannot attend, please let us know so that we can open the slot to another supervisor.
