The helping professions have an opportunity to assist individuals and communities in working toward racial reconciliation and healing. Anti-racist and anti-oppressive practice standards represent one means to do so. Supervisors play a critical role in guiding anti-racist clinical practice and modeling these tenets. Little empirical scholarship exists around the strategies for supervising from this framework. Understanding these experiences help inform how to support anti-racist supervisors interpersonally and organizationally. Findings from a grounded theory qualitative study with social work supervisors shed light on these experiences.KEYWORDS: Anti-racismbiasesclinical supervisiongrounded theoryanti-black racism AcknowledgmentsI am deeply indebted to my dissertation chair, Dr. Vicki Lens, for her encouragement and support of my research process.
