For Employees

Supervision

All direct care staff are required by state regulations and Assistance Plus to attend up to four (4) hours of clinical group supervision monthly. The supervisions are offered twice a month for a four(4) hour session.

Clinical group supervision is meant to be informative and helpful. Our clinical team prides themselves in making your clinical time in supervision informative and enjoyable.

Please keep in mind we must comply with state mandates and Assistance Plus strictly enforces full compliance to clinical group supervision. Failure to attend four (4) hours of clinical group supervision monthly will result in disciplinary action.
