NSCSW Candidacy Mentorship Program

The Mentorship process focuses on professional concerns and relates to practice experience to support candidates to better understand social work philosophy, become more self-aware, and refine their knowledge and skills. It is a process of critical reflection, to support the candidate to develop and refine their framework for practice inclusive of our Standards of Practice and Codes of Ethics guiding documents.

The mentorship process is designed to decrease professional stress and provide the candidate with nurturing conditions that complement their success and encourage self-efficacy. Mentorship is underscored by a climate of safety and trust, where candidates can develop their sense of professional identity.

The NSCCT does not approve non-RCTs to supervise RCT-Candidates.

Brian provides mentorship and peer support for counselling therapists of any background who wish to deepen their practice or participate in case consultations.
