Student placements in private practice are becoming more common, but they raise a lot of questions for students, supervisors, and clients.

In this episode of Inside Social Work, I’m joined by social worker and supervisor Amy Howell to explore what it’s like offering student placements in a private practice setting, what support students need, and how services can navigate the challenges that come up.

We discuss:

• Why more students are doing placements in private settings
• What good supervision looks like when you’re in private practice
• The ethical, practical and emotional sides of student work
• How to create a learning environment that feels safe and reflective
• What students need to feel supported, not thrown in the deep end
• 
  

This episode is for anyone supervising students, considering offering placements, or thinking about private practice as a student.
