Speaker(s)

Description

“You don’t know, what you don’t know!” This phrase fits so many therapists and case managers that start into the field of mental health and those that supervise them. This presentation is for new therapists, new case managers, and those that supervise them. We will look at the key things that new staff need to be taught and how to teach it to them. We will build strategies to help new staff learn to adjust to the “real world” of clinical work from their academic view. We will also help supervisors gain knowledge and skills to help new staff grow into the field and not leave it prematurely. We will also provide good strategies for those that are licensure supervisors for PLPCs and LMSWs.

• Identify things that new staff do that need to be addressed up front.
