This is a master summary of items from accruing hours to submittal to BBS, and is not comprehensive. My example is towards California LCSW.
Supervisor:
-Having a really good supervisor means not only meeting BBS requirements of supervision, but can only transition your thinking and sense of what it means to be a clinical social worker
Supervision Hours:
-2000 of the 3000 hours are Data, Assessment and Plan.
-The BBS refers to 104 weeks, which infers being able to pull off the hour requirement within 2 years
-2000 divided by 104 is just under 20. If you need one hour of supervision per 10 hours, then this requires more than just one hour of supervision per week.
-One hour of supervision can be had by any of the following: 1-on-1 for an hour; 1-on-2 (triadic) for an hour; 1 on group for a total of 2 hours.
-In some scenarios, people have one primary clinical supervisor for BBS-related supervision and 2 hours of clinical supervision (“Group”) per week by another supervisor (maybe the job-related supervisor). In that case, if both supervisors are willing to sign off, I can see how you could get 2 “hours” of supervision per week and complete in 2 years.
Application:
-The Supervision Agreement includes the Supervisory Hours, so ensure you include all pages.
