Monthly Peer Supervision



​Feel free to join and check it out, the groups are open to all KSCSW members, if you are not a member, this could be a good reason to join now!

MONTHLY PEER SUPERVISION AND CONSULTATION GROUP
We have combined our peer supervision and consultation groups! We will now offer one group monthly for licensed members seeking consultation with other licensed providers. During the monthly zoom meetings, members share clinical challenges they are experiencing in their practice while collaborating with other licensed providers to identify ways to address those challenges. We will also open the floor for attendees to discuss all topics pertaining to supervision, such as group supervision formats, KBSW supervision regulations, best practices when working with supervisees, etc. Client confidentiality will be maintained. Group members are asked not to provide any personally identifying information that would violate client confidentiality. Please note, KSCSW members who are working toward licensure can attend; however, the peer consultation group will not count as clinical supervision hours needed for licensure.
