Abstract

This paper reports results of an exploratory study of a child welfare training project in work with involuntary clients. During this project social workers and supervisors from three public agencies were trained in a collaborative practice model. The study attempted to identify connections between supervisors' activities and practitioners' initial engagement with clients. Findings indicated that trainees gained understanding and skills in working with involuntary clients whether or not their supervisors also participated in the training. A supervisor's skills or participant's skills in using supervision seemed to have more influence than presence of the supervisor in the project. Guidelines for supervisors are offered.
