Supervision is critical to professional development. While college course work provides foundational knowledge for entry level professionals, the need for supervision to hone skills and further develop critical thinking in practice has been identified by licensing bodies as essential to ensure professional growth and protect the public.

While the content of this course will provide knowledge and support to any of the helping professions engaged in supervision, this course is specifically designed to meet the Minnesota Board of Social Work and the MN Board of Behavioral Health and Therapy requirements for supervision training. Participants will explore current issues and best practices, and apply new knowledge to relevant case studies related to supervision. This course is delivered in a blended model, including a 2-day in-person workshop and independent study.

Course Requirements:

Participants will attend two days of sessions covering significant content related to supervision. The syllabus will be reviewed, and expectations for assignments clarified for participants. This will be followed by three weeks of independent study and written assignment submissions due each Friday. To successfully complete the training and receive 30.0 CEUs, a participant must attend both days of the in-person event, and complete the independent study and  three written assignments.
