Understanding and Applying the CRSW Performance Domains in Supervision of CRSWs - April 14, 2025

A 6-Hour Training with Jacqui Abikoff, LICSW, MLADC

8:30am-4:00pm

130 Pembroke Road, Suite 150, Concord, NH 03301

Presentation: This 6-hour training is designed for anyone seeking to supervise CRSWs. This training will provide the supervision guidance for CRSWs who would like to supervise other CRSWs as well as Recovery Performance Domains content for LADCs and MLADCs seeking to supervise CRSWs. The content of this training is based on information gained, situations encountered, and obstacles overcome when supervising recovery support workers in a variety of settings. This training will examine the roles and responsibilities of recovery support workers through the lens of the Performance Domains and how they can be similar and different than the roles of counselors. It will discuss the roles, obligations and responsibilities of supervisors working with recovery support workers as well as the ethical and legal parameters that define those roles. It will focus on the skills intrinsic to supervision and how they apply to both peer and clinical supervisors. Participants will be encouraged to examine their own understanding and beliefs about the role of CRSWs in the continuum of care, how they fit into clinical and non-clinical settings and what standards of care should or do apply to the profession of recovery specialist.

As a result of this training, participants will be able to:

1. Identify at least two challenges that recovery support workers face in the regular course of their work that may be more complicated to navigate than for counselors or other healthcare professionals;
2. Recognize their own personal biases and perceptions of the roles of the recovery support worker in the continuum of care and the appropriate parameters and boundaries on those roles;
3. Identify the role of the clinical supervisor and the peer supervisor in the guidance of recovery support workers in each of the Performance Domains; and
4. Be prepared to incorporate lived experience and a focus on recovery capital in the supervisory relationship and process.
