Supervision: DEI Concepts & Practice in Supervision AND Independent Supervision Best Practices

When both days are taken together, this course fulfills the 14-hour training requirement mandated by the Virginia Board of Social Work to provide clinical supervision for LCSW candidates.  Participants may register for ONE Day of the training to meet the 7-hour training requirement for supervision training renewal. The Virginia Board of Counseling requires 20 hours of approved training to supervise LPC candidates. *Participants who have previously taken a 14-hour course from NASW-VA (within the last calendar year) and wish to take an additional one-day course may qualify for a discounted one-day registration rate. Please call the Chapter Office at 804-204-1339 for more information.

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 provides a multicultural supervision theoretical framework, while Day 2 explores the best practices in independent supervision.

DAY 1: Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Concepts and Practice in Supervision (7 CE Hours, Including 3 Ethics Hours)

A one-day independent Multicultural Competence Workshop designed to provide a multicultural supervision theoretical framework. The emphasis on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, combined with essential cultural concepts and supervision practice strategies, is designed to guide and provide successful multicultural supervision practice.

Learning Objectives:

Attendees will gain proficiency from the following:

1. Introduction to Ethics Alive: An intentional focus on the introduction of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion (DEI) concepts and related intervention strategies as applied in Multicultural Supervision Practice: Includes Cultural Competence, Cultural Awareness, Cultural Sensitivity, Cultural Humility, and Cultural Responsiveness.
2. Concept Applications: Didactic and Experiential Group Learning Activities that support and strengthen the understanding of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and competence in supervision practice.

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 10.0 Category I Contact Hours of Ethics.
