Identifying The Core Competencies For Clinical Supervision At A Youth-Focused Social Services Agency

The purpose of this article is to present a framework outlining competencies required for effective clinical supervision within the context of community-based multidisciplinary service agencies. The clinical supervision competency framework was developed through a literature review and input from the supervisors and senior managers of a community-based youth-focused service agency. The framework includes nine domains of clinical supervision competencies. Within each domain, the competencies are further categorized into Values, Knowledge, and Skills. Practical implications of the clinical supervision competency framework for multi-disciplinary, community-based agencies are discussed.
