Last Chance Ethics: Ethical Supervision
A Three-Hour Workshop for Oklahoma LMFTs and LPCs
This workshop provides 3 CEUs
Workshop Description
Clinical supervision is an essential component of ethical mental health practice. Effective supervision supports clinician development, protects client welfare, strengthens clinical judgment, and promotes accountability within mental health organizations.
However, supervision also creates complex ethical responsibilities. Supervisors must balance their responsibilities to clients, supervisees, employers, and the profession while navigating confidentiality, competence, power differentials, documentation, performance concerns, and potential conflicts of interest.
In group practices, these responsibilities can become especially complicated when the supervisor is also a practice owner, employer, mentor, or colleague.
This in person workshop examines the ethical and practical dimensions of clinical supervision for Oklahoma LMFTs and LPCs. Participants will explore the supervisor's role, apply a structured ethical decision-making framework, examine common supervisory dilemmas, and develop strategies for creating a transparent, supportive, and accountable supervision process.
The workshop emphasizes practical application through case discussions and exercises relevant to outpatient mental health practices, including group practices and multidisciplinary clinical settings.
Learning Objectives
By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:
- Identify at least four ethical responsibilities associated with clinical supervision and distinguish them from administrative management and peer consultation.
- Describe how applicable Oklahoma statutes, administrative rules, professional ethical standards, and supervision agreements inform supervisory decisions.
- Apply a structured ethical decision-making framework to at least two challenging supervision scenarios.
- Identify strategies for addressing confidentiality, informed consent, professional boundaries, competence, and conflicts of interest in supervisory relationships.
- Develop a supervision documentation and performance-management plan that promotes accountability and protects client welfare.
