Soar to Success in Supervision, Ethics & Cultural Diversity

LACSW and the Tulane School of Social Work have teamed to present a series of workshops focused on Supervision, Ethics and Clinical Supervision. The first workshop will be held on Friday, Nov. 16 from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is entitled "Soar to Success in Supervision, Ethics & Cultural Diversity" (Supervision for new BACS). The event will be held in the Kendall Cram Ballroom in the Lavin-Bernick Student Center. Participants will earn 7 CEUs for attending, and registration begins at 8 a.m.

Workshop presenter Laury A. Bourgeois, LCSW-BACS, RSW (GB-UK), has worked closely with the LACSW, TSSW and the LABSWE to provide a workshop that has been approved by the LABSWE to meet the requirements for new BACS training, and others that will spark your enthusiasm and meet Ethics and Clinical Supervision requirements for continuing BACSs. Her interactive approach is comprehensive and entertaining with self-assessment questionnaires, helpful tools for your supervisory practice, case vignettes, and self-care strategies with an overlay for those who supervise as part of their private practice and those who supervise within an agency setting.

Bourgeois received her BA in Sociology from the University of Missouri -- St. Louis in 1976 and her Masters of Social Work from the Tulane School of Social Work in 1977. Ms. Bourgeois has been invested in quality social work services, management and supervision for more than 30 years. She has successfully worked with juvenile delinquents; victims of violent crimes; families in crisis; the homeless; the mentally ill; substance abusers; HIV-infected individuals; military families and children; and many other at-risk populations. During 2005, she became a Registered Social Worker in Great Britain and also began offering training to social workers in the south of France.
