SSW Faculty and PhD Candidates Present Research at Conferences Worldwide

SSW doctoral candidate Laura Soltani and SSW associate professor Mimi Choy-Brown presented, "Attending to trust and power to improve implementation" to the National Child Traumatic Stress Network Implementation and Sustainability Committee on Monday, May 12th. 

Their presentation detailed an evidence-based implementation strategy that integrated implementation science and community based participatory research, actionable strategies to attend to trust and power, and transferable insights from both successes and failures from the CIRCLE Project. The publication of this work is currently in revision and should be out soon. 

This CIRCLE Project work was generated in collaboration with SSW assistant professor Saida Abdi (co-PI); SSW PhD candidate Johara Suleiman; UMN PhD candidates Jasmine Banegas and Hopewell Hodges; and CAREI director of research Nicole Morrell. 

At the International Interdisciplinary Conference of Clinical Supervision in New Brunswick, NJ, SSW doctoral candidate Will Carlson presented a novel resilience-oriented clinical supervision model, tools to implement the model, and evidence of the supervisee impact of the model in collaboration with Suleiman and Choy-Brown. 

In addition, Choy-Brown presented collaborative work with Suleiman and CASCW director of outreach Stacy Gehringer work focused on supervisors' and supervisees' experiences of evidence-based clinical supervision in child protection service settings. 

Choy-Brown also presented her collaborative work with doctoral candidate Will Carlson and colleagues, "Keeping our ACT team together: Team leader strategies to fortify resilience," at the European Conference on Integrated Care and Assertive Outreach in Copenhagen, Denmark. (Read the study.) 

This study was also recently published in the journal of Administration and Policy in Mental Health and Mental Health Services Research and will be featured on the Clinical Supervision Research Collaborative (CSRC) blog. 

The CSRC is a cross-disciplinary and international community aiming to close the translational gap between supervision research and practice and to promote and advocate for high quality clinical supervision research that informs supervision best practices. 

Congratulations to all of our talented faculty and staff who shared their research with the worldwide academic community!
