LEARNING OBJECTIVES: 1.  Participants will learn ways to engage in reflective practices to help inform their work, relationships and interventions and explain the "parallel process" within the work environment. 2.  Participants will learn strategies to learn to reflect on their own performance and become less rigid and more flexible by developing and trusting their own personal practical knowledge. 3.  Participants will development of an ethical decision-making process that integrates reflective supervision practices across boundaries. Participants will earn 3 contact hours of CEU credit. NOTE:  The Tennessee Board of Social Work Certification and Licensure does not preapprove continuing education programs.
