Clinical Supervision Training

This course provides 45 hours of training in clinical supervision. The course covers major models of clinical supervision; development and maintenance of the supervisor-supervisee relationship; ethical and legal aspects in clinical supervision; cultural competence in clinical supervision; and structuring, intervention, and evaluation practices in clinical supervision. Upon successful completion of this course, students will: 1. Distinguish the central role of clinical supervision in providing superior clinical services through improving client welfare, ensuring informed consent and honoring client rights. 2. Distinguish factors that generate positive supervisory relationships from their inception, including informed consent for supervision, management of expectations, and appropriate professional boundaries. 3. Demonstrate understanding of the ethical, legal, advocacy and gatekeeping responsibilities of clinical supervisors. 4. Assess power dynamics in the supervisory relationship and consider issues of diversity, equity and inclusion. 5. Demonstrate commitment to cross-cultural responsiveness in all supervisory relationships. 6. Generate, and demonstrate commitment to, fulfillment of key supervisory responsibilities, to include ensuring informed consent for supervision, completing and referencing the supervision contract, modeling ethics and boundaries, and serving as a gatekeeper for the counseling profession. 7. Articulate a personal model of clinical supervision, drawn from existing models of supervision and preferred styles of therapy and supervision. The course meets the Minnesota Board of Behavioral Health and Therapy educational requirements for Professional Counselors (LPCs and LPCCs) and exceeds requirements for Alcohol & Drug Counselors who intend to seek the approved-supervisor credential. The course does NOT meet requirements for the AAMFT approved-supervisor credential, as only courses provided directly by the AAMFT meet those requirements. This course meets on Zoom and includes additional assignments to be completed online.
