Question 1
What is it like for you to know that you have taken or might take on the duty and responsibility of vicarious liability as a clinical supervisor?
It makes me aware of the accountability I must have in supervising others. It also makes me aware of what I need to find out regarding my role, resources, and how to protect myself.
Question 2
Describe 3 strategies you have already employed or have thought about employing to manage this sense of responsibility so it doesn’t impact your clinical and supervisory work negatively and/or does impact your work in a positive way? It
I have professional liability insurance. It informs how I supervise others, which is already in place. The responsibility of my role is mostly a given considering the ethical framework of the profession. It makes me proactive in seeking out resources within the organization. I’m fairly new to this organization and to a the role of supervising more than master’s students, so this lesson has certainly helped.Question 3
How does your agency support/not support you to manage the legal and ethical responsibility of vicarious liability and how can you advocate for more support if it is lacking?I have some liability insurance through the organization. Having already encountered some concerns in the first month of being employed here, I don’t think the organization is as responsive as they could be. I am not sure who the legal counsel is, but I don’t think there should be an intermediary between myself and that person.
Hi – lesson 1 course content beyond the nasw code of ethics is not visible – would you be able to fix? thanks! Matt
My name is Matthew Fein – I’m an LCSW and Supervising Social Worker at Greater Portland Health’s Preble St Healthcare for the Homeless clinic. I’m fairly new to the position and will be supervising 2 LCSW’s, a community health worker, and a peer support specialist. I work entirely with adults with many experiencing co-occurring conditions. Prior to this position I was a clinician at Boston Healthcare for the Homeless’s Barbara McInnis House, a 104 medical respite, and a pt medical social worker at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. I recently completed part 1 EMDR training so excited to be using EMDR in my clinical work. I am very much looking forward to this course!
