Field Placement Supervision Relationships: Safe and Sacred or Hostile and Hurtful

Friday, October 25, 2024
12:30 PM – 1:00 PM CT
Location: KC Convention Center, Room 2209
Social work students encounter different aspects of client diversity in their field placements, including religion and spirituality (RS). Field instructors can create hospitable spaces which help students build cultural competency in working with clients across diverse backgrounds. This presentation explores field instructor factors which support student discussions regarding RS.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Participants will be able to describe different situations in field placement where students encountered issues related to RS.
  2. Participants will be able to list attributes and identify behaviors of field instructors who created a hospitable environment for students to share about issues related to RS in supervision. Additionally, participants will be able to name field instructor behaviors which negatively impacted student comfort within the relationship.
  3. Participants will be able to describe varied student perceptions of the impact both personal self-disclosure and supervisor self-disclosure of their RS positionality could have on the supervision relationship. Additionally, participants will receive suggested tools to facilitate discussions about RS between students and supervisors.
