  • Supervision is a professional service offered by a qualified and experienced clinician to social workers seeking licensure or advanced professional development. It involves regular meetings where the supervisor provides guidance, support, feedback, and continuous education to the supervisee, helping them develop their clinical skills, knowledge, and ethical practices in a safe and structured environment. Supervision is crucial to ensuring the quality of care provided by social workers and their ongoing professional growth.

  • Board supervision is typically for individuals who have completed their master's degree in social work and are working toward obtaining their LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) license. In some states, such as Georgia, North Carolina, and the District of Columbia, board supervision is required for individuals seeking licensure as clinical social workers. Board supervision is provided by a qualified and experienced licensed clinical social worker who helps supervisees develop their clinical skills and knowledge, provides support and guidance, and helps ensure the requirements for licensure are met.
