You will receive one-hour per week of group supervision in the case conference. So you may receive a total of 4 hours of supervision each week. All supervisors are licensed with at least 3 years of post-licensure experience. Each week, interns will attend a 2-hour clinical training meeting. In this meeting, you will participate in various presentations by professionals from SPS and the community on a variety of topics that include ethical issues, the treatment of students with chronic medical problems, treatment of gay and lesbian clients, etc.
Interns also attend the all-staff professional development meetings, with outside presenters.
Interns are also offered the opportunity to attend the Tavistock group process training and other conferences. Social Work interns receive 10 hours of compensatory time for professional development activities away from work. Many interns will have the opportunity to co-lead a therapy group with a staff member. You can use this time as you wish, but you MUST use it all before the internship ends. The interview will be conducted by two members of the Staff and will include a Social Worker.
