During this highly interactive seminar, attendees will 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 explores the games played in supervision, while Day 2 focuses on trauma-directed supervision.

Day 1: Supervision: Overcoming the Games Played in Supervision (7 CEs, including 2 ethics hours)
Best practices in social work clinical supervision underscore that a strong supervisory alliance is essential to foster supervisee growth. However, relational challenges in supervision can be 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.

You will learn about
• 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 CEs, including 7 ethics hours)
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. A fresh approach to supervision is needed to ensure workforce emotional safety while enhancing client outcomes--enter trauma-directed supervision. This empowering training will teach you to apply this novel approach to social work supervision.

You will learn how to
• Identify industry-evidence to validate implementation of trauma-directed supervision.
• Identify the essential components of trauma-directed supervision for social work supervisors. 
• Understand how to implement trauma-directed supervision across individual and group processes.
• Align trauma-direct supervision with industry Established Resources of Guidance (e.g., CSWE EPAS Competencies, NASW Code of Ethics, Board of Social Work Regulations)
