Clinical Supervision

As county behavioral health departments face unprecedented workforce challenges, CalMHSA has partnered with a provider successful in scaling remote clinical supervision services in California. This ensures: 

• Counties with licensed supervisor shortages can secure essential supervision for their clinical staff.
• Counties can separate clinical supervision from administrative supervision.
• Staff receive supervision that is 100% dedicated to their clinical needs.
• Additional leverage for counties in their clinician recruitment and retention efforts.

​Beyond Supervision 

Virtual clinical supervisors connect through a HIPAA-compliant platform. More than just supervision, this flexible solution offers staff: 

• Improved skill sets
• Fresh perspectives and learning approaches
• Actionable suggestions to implement with clients
• Confidence in supervisors who have been trained on Medi-Cal client populations within county behavioral health
• Versatility in schedule accommodation

Hands-on Solution for Counties

Counties purchase remote individual supervision hours for pre-licensed staff, and:

• Counties meet with and select the supervisor best suited for their staff.
• A county-level portal offers a dashboard of supervision hours for each staff.
• Option to purchase triad supervision (two associates, one supervisor)
• Option to purchase group supervision (three to eight associates, one supervisor)
