Florida Mental Health Licensure Services Supervision Manual OverviewFlorida Mental Health Licensure Services Supervision Manual was especially designed for use by both the supervisor and supervisee. It contains all pertinent information, including the supervision contract, a log of supervision meetings, as well “recommendations/tasks” section to record supervisor requests regarding the supervisee practice.
The Supervision Manual is in three-ring binder format. There are twelve sections, covering topics such as risk management, client safety, etc. Individualizing the manual should include the supervisee’s professional Code of Ethics, as well as Florida Board of Clinical Social Worker, Marriage and Family Therapist, and Mental Health Counselor definitions.
The Qualified Supervisor’s initial job is to ascertain the supervisee’s needs. The manual contains a checklist to accomplish this task. Many supervisees have had prior supervision from a qualified supervisor. It is advisable that the supervisor document, with the supervisee, what requirements have already been met, and those that remain to be met.
As well, it is recommended that the Qualified Supervisor visit the “Licensee Lookup” page to be sure that the supervisee is registered as an intern. Further, this page should be copied and kept with the supervisor files.
