Description

Evolving challenges transverse social work ethics and practice. While implications exist for all practitioners, heightened risk presents for clinical social work supervisors. Ethical dilemmas abound in maneuvering conflicts of interest and dual relationships, state to state disparities of licensure scope, plus privacy and confidentiality.  Effective supervisory oversight is essential for managing the current ethical disrupters of:

• Social media and electronic communication,
• Appropriate use of technology,
• Mandatory duty to warn situations,
• Industry demands for interstate practice and licensure portability
• Managing cultural awareness and diversity

In addition, professional liability for both the supervisor and supervisee is paramount. How does one effectively juggle all these moving parts?

Blending industry scenarios with application of the latest professional resources, including the 2017 Technology and Social Work Practice (NASW, ASWB, CSWE, CSWA, 2017) and the NASW Code of Ethics, this presenter will provide an innovative, interactional, and informative six hour training experience to promote supervisory excellence. With change the only constant in our industry, can you afford to miss out?
