LCSW Supervision Training Institute
The LCSW Supervision Training Institute was established through a generous gift from Staunton Farm Foundation, in 2022. Staunton Farm Foundation is dedicated to improving the lives of people who live with mental illness and substance use disorders. The Foundation works to enhance behavioral health treatment, support, and recovery through grant making to nonprofit organizations in 10 southwestern Pennsylvania counties (Allegheny, Armstrong, Beaver, Butler, Fayette, Greene, Indiana, Lawrence, Washington, and Westmoreland).
The training consists of 20 hours of asynchronous self-paced learning modules and features a 3-hour, live and interactive online webinar for program participants to ask questions, review case studies, meet their fellow trainees, and to interact with our lead trainers to gain clarity on any topics that require further discussion.
