Event Overview

Adverse Childhood Experiences of Social Workers: Competencies for Clinical Supervisors
Carli Allen
People are often drawn to helping professions because they have experienced some form of adversity in their lives. This presentation explores the concept of the “wounded healer” and theories that explain the reported high rates of adverse childhood experiences by helping professionals, particularly social workers. This presentation also reviews and evaluates the current competencies of the Kentucky Board of Social Work (KBSW) approved clinical supervision training. After a review of the current competencies of the KBSW approved training, a curriculum and competencies will be introduced and explored by the presenter. These recommended competencies include information regarding the disproportionate experiences of childhood adversity, ways to support social work practitioners, and ways to encourage open communication regarding trauma experiences and the potential impact on the individual social worker’s practice, while engaging in clinical supervision.

With the use of clinical supervision, the negative implications of childhood adversity can be reduced. Addressing this problem could lead to a reduction in the cost of turnover, create opportunities of self-advocacy, and encourage social action that could support practitioners. The purpose of this project is to enhance the integrity of social work practice, enhance clinical social work, and prevent impaired social work practice.
