UMD's Department of Social Work named Steven Stranberg Kassof, MSW,
LICSW, the recipient of this year's "Outstanding MSW Field Supervisor
and Civic Engagement Award." This award recognizes a field supervisor
who has demonstrated outstanding personal and professional civic
engagement. Civic engagement includes providing quality supervision to
students completing their field placements and encouraging students'
involvement in their communities, both in their fieldwork and outside of
field activities. UMD's MSW Department seeks to recognize field
supervisors who go "above and beyond" in their work with MSW students
and in their communities.
Steven is a clinical social worker providing psychotherapy to
children and adolescents in his work with the North Lakes Community
Clinic in Ashland and Iron River, Wisc. He will accept the award at the
6th annual Department of Social Work Fall Field Supervisor Training
Luncheon on September 28, 2015 at Woodland Hills in Duluth, Minn.
Steven was nominated by Lisa Stark, assistant director for
Indian Child Welfare for the Lac Courte Oreilles Band of Lake Superior
Ojibwa in Hayward, Wisc. Steven served as the MSW field supervisor for
Lisa’s field placement with the Bad River Band of the Lake Superior
Tribe of Chippewa. In her nomination Lisa notes, “Steve demonstrated his
high level of concern, compassion, and ethics during our weekly
meetings and in his guidance during my internship. I can without a doubt
state that I am a stronger social worker and advocate due to his
supervision and mentorship.” She also emphasized his involvement in his
community working with the schools to help them better address the
mental health needs of children. Additionally, he worked with the local
hospital to better serve LGBTQ patients. He clearly demonstrated
outstanding commitment in his role as an MSW field supervisor as well as
in his work with the larger community.
