Session: Sprituality in Social Work Education: Integrated Practice Assessment and Practicum Supervision

Revalidating the Religious/Spiritually Integrated Practice Assessment Scale for Educators With Four Disciplines

Friday, October 25, 2024
1:00 PM – 1:30 PM CT
Location: KC Convention Center, Room 2209
This presentation will describe a national survey of social work, counseling, psychology, and marriage and family therapy educators’ views and behaviors regarding training students to integrate clients’ religion/spirituality into practice, including the revalidation of the RSIPAS-EDU. Implications for critical conversations on religion/spirituality as an element of diversity will be discussed.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Participants will become familiar with an interdisciplinary, reliable, and valid instrument to assess educators’ orientation to training students to integrate clients’ religion and spirituality in practice across four mental health disciplines.
  2. Participants will understand current mental health educators’ views and behaviors toward training students to integrate clients’ religion/spirituality into practice across four disciplines, with an emphasis presented on social work educators’ responses.
  3. Participants will identify ways to advance graduate education within social work as well as psychology, marriage and family therapy, and counseling in our efforts to equip students to effectively and ethically integrate clients’ religion/spirituality in clinical practice.
