Supervision Workshop

Ethical Social Work
Supervision Workshop

Social work supervisors have special requirements based on Michigan licensure law and the Code of Ethics. Standard supervision training rarely takes these special requirements into account. This workshop will offer specific and practical supervisory approaches.

If you are a new or long-time macro or clinical supervisor responsible for supervising social work students, limited licensed social workers or even seasoned social workers, this workshop was specially created with you in mind. Using presentations, group exercises, and participant scenarios, the presenters will provide tools, resources, and innovative ideas on how to develop ethical social worker professionals.

Course Objectives

• Examination of the interplay between supervisor and supervisee perspectives;
• Discussion of the Code of Ethics in relation to both macro and clinical practice;
• Incorporating the Code of Ethics and Michigan licensure requirements into supervisory practice; and 
• Identification of the most difficult, but important, ethical issues for new social workers
