Mission Statement

The Supervision Institute was founded by Dr. Tamara L. Kaiser and Dr. Angeline Barretta Herman, faculty members of the School of Social Work, in 1994.  The mission of the Institute is to promote greater knowledge of the skills, theory, approaches and issues involved in clinical supervision. Its philosophy is that the development of competent practitioners depends on competent supervision. To fulfill its mission, the Institute is engaged in research, publications, workshops and presentations on supervision. The Institute Faculty offers post-masters level training for current supervisors or potential supervisors of practicing clinicians. In addition, faculty associated with the Institute offer non-agency-based consultation and supervision for licensure.
