This article describes qualitative findings regarding lessons learned from research and demonstration projects in four states focused on the implementation of clinical supervision within their public child welfare agencies. This was part of a larger mixed methods study of the effectiveness of these new clinical supervision models on practice, organizational, and client outcomes. Themes from 15 focus groups with frontline supervisors participating in the projects are provided; they focused on the challenges experienced while participating and working to use clinical supervision techniques, recommendations regarding implementing such projects in the public child welfare environment, and those aspects of the implementation that were most effective in supporting their work. These themes provide direction for states and localities wishing to shift frontline supervision to a more clinical model within the public child welfare setting.
本文介绍了从四个州的研究和示范项目中吸取的经验教训的定性研究结果，这些项目聚焦于在其公共儿童福利机构内实施临床监督。这是一项更大规模的混合方法研究的一部分，该研究旨在探讨这些新的临床监督模式对实践、组织和客户成果的有效性。文中提供了来自参与这些项目的15个一线监督员焦点小组的主题；这些主题聚焦于参与和运用临床监督技术时所遇到的挑战、在公共儿童福利环境中实施此类项目的建议，以及实施过程中对支持他们工作最有效的方面。这些主题为希望在公共儿童福利环境中将一线监督转变为更具临床性模式的州和地方提供了指导。
