NYSED and ASWB approved for 6 CE contact hours

Co-sponsored by:

Clinical supervision is an integral foundation for sound clinical practice. Supervision not only monitors the quality of professional services and encourages professional development of the individual, it advances the disciplines of social work and mental health counseling practice. As our grasp of cultural humility and the value of anti-oppressive work has expanded, supervision has grown to incorporate these factors while becoming increasingly sensitive to social and cross-cultural barriers in our effective supervisory practice. This conference considers how power dynamics and identity can influence individual and programmatic work through an anti-oppressive framework while also examining how cross-cultural supervision can lead to a productive and positive working alliance.

Participants will be able to:

• Gain an understanding of multiculturalism and anti-oppressive practice and its impact on the supervisory relationship 
• Identify the barriers and challenges of cross-cultural supervision in an agency environment
• Provide practical knowledge on implementing a multicultural lens
• Consider how identity and belief systems impact the supervisory relationship
• Navigate supervisory relationships when working with a supervisor or population of different social identities

He also launched the Silver School’s Evolving Justice initiative, which aims to build community; co-create brave space; and facilitate dialogue towards the emancipatory exploration of justice in theory and action. In addition, he works collaboratively with the Center For Justice at Columbia University on its annual “Beyond The Bars” conference –– which brings impacted people together with academics, activists, policy makers, and practitioners from across the country to create a more informed understanding, and subsequent response to mass incarceration.facilitate various dialogue(s) towards the emancipatory exploration of justice in theory and action.
