Upon successful completion of this course, students will:
    1.        Distinguish the central role of clinical supervision in providing superior clinical services through improving client welfare, ensuring informed consent and honoring client rights.

    7.        Articulate a personal model of clinical supervision, drawn from existing models of supervision and preferred styles of therapy and supervision.
The course meets the Minnesota Board of Behavioral Health and Therapy educational requirements for Professional Counselors (LPCs and LPCCs) and exceeds requirements for Alcohol & Drug Counselors who intend to seek the approved-supervisor credential. The course does NOT meet requirements for the AAMFT approved-supervisor credential, as only courses provided directly by the AAMFT meet those requirements.
This course meets on Zoom and includes additional assignments to be completed online.
