Workshop Description
This workshop addresses social work supervision roles and responsibilities including administrative, educational and supportive functions. The focus will be on helping the participants understand the performance of social work supervision functions including administrative duties and supervisory functions in the areas of educational supervision and supportive supervision. This will be a good refresher workshop for those individuals who have been supervisors for several years as well as the new supervisor. Experiential exercises will be used to illustrate how specific practice roles are applied to achieving organizational goals as well as staff’s personal goals as the supervisor performs administrative, educational and supportive functions.
