Resources for Clinical Supervisors
Quality supervision is a vital element of safe and ethical practice. Practitioners receiving high-quality supervision are less prone to licensing complaints and ethical challenges in their careers. In Nebraska, individuals with provisional licensure or certification are required to undergo regular supervision from a qualified supervisor during their 3,000 hours of clinical practice. Elevate your professional journey with our expert supervision and consultation services.
Clinical supervision in Nebraska is its own process, with its own theories, methods, and research. In Nebraska, 172 NAC 94.009.01 defines general supervision as a process which is distinguishable from personal psychotherapy, consultation, or didactic instruction, which focuses on raw data from the supervisee’s clinical work and includes: discussing ethics; discussing the supervisee’s cases; evaluating the supervisee; and providing the supervisee with oversight and guidance. Supervision that develops and supports professional relationships and practice strategies can increase critical thinking skills and extend a practitioner’s career. Quality supervision protects clients, supports practitioners, and aligns with professional codes of ethics such as the NASW Best Practice Standards in Social Work Supervision.
