The workshop offers the curriculum and instruction for attendees to conduct the Supervision Training Series, which is 4 distinct workshops with a cadre of LPCs wishing to enhance their supervision practice and meet the criteria for various supervisory credentials, such as the Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor and Approved Clinical Supervisor (ACS). This workshop will focus on preparing already experienced supervisors to become workshop facilitators and train others in the models, skills, and techniques of becoming a clinical supervisor. This workshop will give trainers the fifteen (15hrs – 8 in sessions; 7 “homework” hours) additional hours needed for the LPCS when added to 30 previously documented workshop hours.
