- Demonstrate commitment to student-centered practices anchored in social justice with a focus on equity for students belonging to historically marginalized and underrepresented groups.
- Provide training and clinical supervision for graduate students in social work, including case-focused supervision, presentation of training materials, and general mentorship concerning the challenges and opportunities associated with university-based mental healthcare.
- Assist with the management and oversight of records within the electronic database and ensures that records and data are maintained in accordance with Huron’s policies and practices.
- Manage effective, efficient, and detailed case records to support file management systems, including appropriate documentation of all student activities, communications, and reports, and manages those files in accordance with professional and legislative regulations.
