Clinical Supervisor Training Course

Overview of Course

This foundational interactive in-person training includes various activities to keep you engaged. Facilitators will cover several supervision models as well as legal and ethical issues related to supervision. Not only will this be valuable and fun (Did I say fun? Yes!) to both brand new supervisors and supervisors who are nearing retirement, you also have an opportunity to make professional connections through the interactive format. 

This 20 CE course complies with the Montana Board of Behavioral Health Supervisor Qualifications Rules for LCSW, LMSW, LCPC, LMFT, and LAC professionals. This course is open to license holders and pre-licensure candidates interested in becoming supervisors. If you have held your license for fewer than three years, this course allows you to become a "Qualified Supervisor" in the State of Montana. Note that you must hold a license to supervise, so pre-licensed candidates will need to secure their license in addition to taking this course to meet the needed criteria.
