The Task Force welcomes new participants. You do not need to be a member of WMHCA to participate in meetings.
Task Force Goals & Updates:
The task force is developing a set of priority recommendations to share with legislators in the upcoming legislative session. The task force would like to see the Washington Administrative Codes on supervision be updated and clarified to incorporate national standards and best practices, including but not limited to:
- Including a supervision endorsement on an individual's license so potential supervisees can see immediately if a supervisor is in good standing with the state.
- Allowing individuals who hold the NBCC Approved Clinical Supervisor credential to be automatically qualified within WA State as a supervisor
- Requiring three supervision-specific CEs for each renewal cycle.
- Requiring all supervisors to provide a supervision contract/disclosure statement outlining the rights, expectations, and responsibilities of both parties to supervisees before commencing supervision.
