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

October 14, 2025, 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-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 14 the general topic area will be "Ethical Dilemmas in Supervision." Ethical dilemmas occur when there are competing social work values . Do your supervisees know how to navigate ethical dilemmas and how can you best support them?  Examples and discussion will be part of this group. 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.
