Day 1: Supervision: Overcoming the Games Played in Supervision (7 CE Hours, Includes 2 Hours Ethics)
It is the task of the supervisor to ensure that supervision is designed to foster a supportive and nurturing supervisor and supervisee relationship. This relationship is the context for facilitating a supervisee to acquire knowledge-based competencies and healthy professional attitudes and values. Best practices in social work clinical supervision underscore that a strong supervisory alliance is essential to foster supervisee growth. However, there can be many relational challenges in supervision evident in the variety of games that can be played by either the supervisor or the supervisee. This workshop will overview these games, highlight the power imbalance that exists in the supervisory relationship and identify strategies that can be used to best respond to games in supervision.
Learning objectives for course participants include:
- Identifying common games and relationship challenges that may occur in clinical supervision;
- Distinguishing supervisor games from supervisee games and describing complementary transactions;
- Identifying strategies that supervisors can use to effectively confront games and enhance the supervisory process; and
- Providing opportunity for self-reflection and increased awareness of personal game playing.
Day 2: Trauma-Directed Supervision: Awareness, Advancement, Activation (7 CE Hours, 7 hours Ethics)
A tidal wave of issues has hit every practice setting and social worker. The sociopolitical climate is fraught with disruptors that impact workforce mental health, challenge self-care attainment, and even re-trigger historical, experiential, and event traumas by practitioners. These realities intersect with dramatic implications for the newest generation of social workers; workforce mental health, burnout, and staff attrition are at record levels.
Clinical supervision is a fundamental professional function that ensures a dedicated space to advance social work practice, ensure application and understanding of didactic and practical knowledge, and promote workforce support. Amid the ever-present backdrop of trauma, a fresh approach to supervision is mandated to ensure workforce emotional safety, while enhancing client outcomes----enter Trauma-directed supervision. Engage in this empowering training which will activate your ability to render this novel approach to social work supervision.
Learning objectives:
At the end of this course, attendees will be able to:
- Identify industry-evidence to validate implementation of trauma-directed supervision.
- Identify the essential components of trauma-directed supervision for social work supervisors.
