3 Supervision CEs

Supervision is a critical space for social workers to reflect, grow, and develop their professional practice. According to the NASW Standards for Social Work Supervision, effective supervision enhances professional competence, supports quality client care, and provides guidance through the evolving demands of the profession. 

In Maryland, the Code of Maryland Regulations (COMAR) 10.42.08 establishes specific requirements for social work supervision, including qualifications of supervisors, frequency and format of supervision, documentation standards, and the scope of supervisory responsibilities.  

This training integrates the principles of psychological safety with the legal and professional framework outlined in COMAR 10.42.08, helping supervisors understand how to create a structured yet supportive environment where supervisees feel safe to ask questions, admit uncertainties, and engage in reflective learning. 

Participants will learn how to align supervisory practices with Maryland state regulations while fostering a culture of openness, consistency, and professional growth. 

Through case scenarios and interactive exercises, this course offers supervisors practical tools to support supervisees’ development, meet regulatory standards, and promote a healthy supervisory alliance grounded in psychological safety.
