Workshop Description

Field supervisors require support, education, and training but need access to such materials in ‘bite size’ segments. Marist College Social Work Field Education Program has developed a ‘Virtual Lunch and Learn’ Series where you can join in and learn about the various fundamental aspects of field education and supervision. These 60-minute sessions are engaging, informative, and seek to transform your thinking about the various aspects of field supervision.

This session explores the complex issue of helping interns navigate the emotional triggers that can sometimes arise during their exposure to emotional terrain in field placement settings. The evidence to date suggests a hopeful trend for social work interns; social work interns appear to be at their peak of emotional satisfaction in the context of their career development (Harr & Moore, 2011). Those at the beginning of their career often feel the greatest satisfaction, as they begin in their work of helping others. Harr and Moore (2011) suggest that it is at this first phase of the social work practitioner’s career that we need to spend time educating student interns about the complexities of engaging with people who may be dealing with very complex life histories.

The presenters provide an overview of the literature on this subject and provide strategies for helping interns navigate the emotional complexities of social work practice. Case studies are used to generate discussion in what is expected to be a lively and inspirational presentation!  

 

Learning Objectives

After the completion of this webinar, participants will be able to:

  • Understand the current body of literature on this subject and how to apply these concepts to everyday supervision.
  • Create a place and space in supervision to promote reflective practice that may include an exploration of emotional triggers.
  • Role model for student interns how we negotiate our own emotional triggers in every day practice.

This workshop is approved for 1.0 continuing education credit hours.
