A review of the NASW-ASWB best practice standards in social work supervision along with two ethical frameworks Congress 2000 and Reamer 2018 will provide practitioners with best practice guidelines to use in everyday practice while providing supervision and helping manage ethical dilemmas. Presenters will review recent history impacting current and prospective social workers in the U.S., including the 2020-2021 pandemic, school shootings, increased mental health issues, economic uncertainty, political discord, and global conflict. This review will be discussed to help promote resiliency and strength-based approaches to supervision with social work employees and students in field placement, including those with mental health and neurodivergent learning needs. When social work supervisors use best practices and supervise with empathy from a foundation of knowledge reviewed in this session communities and societies are likely better served.
