However, limited research has explored the preparation, support, and well-being of HSO supervisors, all of which may influence the quality of supervision they provide. This cross-sectional survey of HSO supervisors in Ontario, Canada (N = 75), examined their preparation, support, and well-being (i.e., using the Professional Quality of Life Health measure). Social workers made up the largest professional group represented in the study. Findings from descriptive statistics and inductive qualitative content analysis reveal that while many supervisors received training and their own supervision, they also felt unprepared for the complex role demands of their positions, with most receiving no onboarding. Participants provided considerations for HSO onboarding, additional training, and their own supervision needs. Though most supervisors reported moderate well-being with few cases of burnout, this study highlights the need for robust supervisory support, enhanced onboarding, and continuous supervisory training in HSOs.","PeriodicalId":21875,"journal":{"name":"Social work","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144161902","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Understanding the nature and extent to which social work supervisors help ensure professionalism in their organizational context is a critical concern for the public and the profession. The purpose of this article is to explore social work supervision in the context of neoliberal managerial pressures with a focus on the professional discretion and resistance to neoliberalism of social work supervisors. Utilizing a cross-sectional survey design, the research measured managerialism, professional discretion, and resistance among 275 Minnesota licensed social work supervisors. The results of the survey demonstrated that on average social work supervisors act as a conduit of neoliberal governance, pressured to ensure worker productivity and efficiency, while facilitating the standardization of direct-line practice. Yet, some responses are contradictory in regard to reporting support for integrating clients' interests while maintaining organizational pressure for predetermined interventions. Finally, the research may signal the supervisor dilemma of how to support the interests of professional social workers while positioned as managers themselves.","PeriodicalId":21875,"journal":{"name":"Social work","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144162067","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, authors sought to understand the lived experiences of supervision for behavioral health clinicians from various behavioral health professions in practice settings where multiple professions were present. This qualitative study analyzed data from 20 interviews of clinicians practicing in diverse mental health and/or substance disorder treatment settings. Four main themes emerged: (1) value of IPS, (2) clinical supervision in peer supervision spaces, (3) varied individual supervision experiences, and (4) role of organizational culture in supervision. Results suggest implications for the profession of social work, including the opportunity for the profession to better define its disciplinary competencies and indicate how those competencies are of value in supervision, as well as to prioritize training and research in uniprofessional and interprofessional supervision.","PeriodicalId":21875,"journal":{"name":"Social work","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144080308","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Underpinning this inquiry is a critical feminist framework. The findings underscore significant gaps in social work supervision, particularly as they pertain to women of color in leadership positions. These gaps highlight systemic issues and point to the broader challenges these women face in receiving the guidance and support necessary for effective leadership. The study also reveals the organizational challenges that arise from the persistence of racialized and gendered power differentials within the nonprofit sector. These dynamics, often a reflection of wider societal inequalities, manifest within organizations through the perpetuation of traditional power structures, making it even more difficult for women of color to thrive and succeed. The study calls attention to how these challenges are embedded in the nonprofit landscape, leading to a continual recreation of inequitable power relations. Ultimately, this research emphasizes the need for more inclusive and equitable supervision practices and organizational structures to better support women of color in leadership roles within NPOs.","PeriodicalId":21875,"journal":{"name":"Social work","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144000109","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Developed at the legal clinic of the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile, the model enhances interdisciplinary supervision and practical training for law and social work students through a structured, user-centered approach. The pilot implementation successfully fostered essential competencies, including ethical decision making, problem solving, and conflict resolution, effectively preparing students for high-stakes sociolegal environments. Structured joint supervision clarified professional roles and promoted collaborative decision making, significantly reducing professional burnout and enhancing resilience. Pilot evaluations indicated high levels of user satisfaction and improved student competencies, reflecting substantial benefits in perceived service quality. Informed by comparative international experiences, this innovative framework aligns with global standards and demonstrates adaptability across diverse sociolegal contexts, underscoring its potential for broad application.","PeriodicalId":21875,"journal":{"name":"Social work","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144014922","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consistent supervision and training may reduce overall turnover by increasing general well-being and job satisfaction. The objective of this quantitative cross-sectional research study was to review supervision and training factors that impact workforce shortages in the practice of addictions treatment. Research data collected from 167 addictions professionals indicated consistent supervision and training reduce the likelihood of professionals leaving their position; professionals who have a negative relationship with their supervisor are more likely to leave their position. Also, professionals are more likely to leave their position if supervision is not consistent. Overall, poor supervision and training can lead to poor work performance. Supervision and training play a pivotal role in fostering workforce development in the practice of addictions treatment and are an important investment in the community, helping to create a more productive, effective, and efficient support industry. Consistent supervision and training can provide addictions professionals with the necessary knowledge and skills needed to provide support to the community.","PeriodicalId":21875,"journal":{"name":"Social work","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144031844","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
