title: Collaboration of a public child welfare agency and a school of social work: a clinical group supervision project.
abstract: As an addition to the growing literature on school of social work/child welfare agency collaborations, this article describes a clinical group supervision arrangement between Children and Youth Services of Delaware County, Pennsylvania, and the master of social work program at Widener University's Center for Social Work Education in Chester, Pennsylvania. Six students who were also employees of the department received clinical group supervision every other week by a faculty member of the center. The process of initiating the group, the supervision issues that emerged, the articulation and application of a model of child-centered family treatment, and preliminary results from the use of a Skill-Level Self-Rating scale are presented and discussed.
