Need help with this registration process?  Watch this video.  

We are really excited to get a chance to meet-up and talk as supervisors in the social work role in this work, and this year we’re hoping to make our monthly meet-ups engaging and purposeful. Our first meeting of 2024 will be held virtually on February 20th at 10 am PST/11 am MST/12 pm CST/1 pm EST and the topic for discussion will be about finding ways to support the training needs of our supervisees! Bring your thoughts, questions, highs, and lows. We’re looking forward to the discussion.

The Supervisor Discussion for those in the Social Work role is jointly facilitated by Kevin Bishop, Michael Moore, and Claudia Dunne.
