Clinical Supervision: Strategies that Work

Description

This workshop is designed to assist clinical supervisors in strengthening their supervision skills.

The workshop will feature role play opportunities and a live supervision session.

2. Participants will be able to identify components of a strength based, collaborative model of supervision.

3. Participants will be able to identify ethical issues in supervision and have a clear understanding of boundaries in supervision.

4. Participants will learn how to address common issues which may arise with supervisees.  (i.e. value conflicts, joining, pacing, dealing with intensity)

5. Participants will participate in role play scenarios to practice new skills and to discuss multiple ways of addressing supervisory issues
