Message From The State Committee for Social Work
Calling all Supervisors
Are you a licensed clinical social worker who has so kindly decided to give back to those wishing to enter the profession and agreed to provide supervision to a LMSW?
As we all know, supervision is an important component of obtaining licensure as a clinical social worker. Supervision allows individuals to work in real-world situations while providing clinical services under the direct supervision of a licensed clinical social worker. As the supervisor, the supervisee looks to you for best practices, guidance, and ensuring compliance with state laws and regulations.
One of the issues often addressed by the committee is supervisors not knowing or understanding their responsibilities of a supervisor as it relates to documents that are required to be submitted to the committee.
Before we get into specifics, let's first clarify what the term “setting” means. “Setting” refers to the place of employment (there could be more than one) at which the supervisee will be providing clinical services. It does not refer to “face to face”, “ZOOM”, “part-time”, or “full-time”, etc.
