Ethics for Supervisors

Enroll in the Online Self-Study and complete the training on your own schedule.
5.5 Ethics CE Credits available for behavioral health clinicians completing the Online Self-Study.

Supervisors have responsibilities not only for client welfare and monitoring supervisee performance and professional development (ACA Code of Ethics, F.1.a) but in our own practice of supervision. Others rely on us for guidance and direction. Keeping up with what is ethically relevant and how to understand and apply that knowledge is monumental to our effectiveness and success as clinical supervisors. This training provides a combined overview of several relevant ethical codes and best practices related to clinical supervision to increase supervisor clarity and knowledge for better ethical practice. Areas such as supervisor preparation, competence, and self-monitoring; the supervision relationship (e.g., boundaries, cultural awareness); and ensuring supervisees have a supervised experience (e.g., points of supervisee preparation and monitoring) will be discussed. It will also briefly review common, general liability concerns and suggestions for managing those concerns.

This workshop is for clinical supervisors and those considering the practice of supervision to supervise ethically.
