Please join us for our in-person Clinical Supervisor Training Course. It will be held in Missoula, MT, September 22-24, 9:00am - 5:30 pm each day.

The course features instructor Andrew Laue, LCSW (Missoula). It will be held in-person in Missoula and is an interactive course with various activities to keep you engaged. Andrew will cover several supervision models as well as legal and ethical issues related to supervision. NASW's Supervision training has received excellent reviews and consistently has a waiting list for the next course so don't wait to get signed up. 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 Supervisor Qualifications Rules for LCSW, LCPC, and LMFT Clinicians. This course is open to LCSWs, LCPCs, LMFTs and LACs. 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.

Rate for NASW Members is $350. Rate for Non Members is $425.
