Description

As our field continues to grow and change, there is a need for more skilled supervisors acting as mentors to new professionals. In this workshop, participants will differentiate between supervision models as well as approach the models as research-practitioners, exploring which model best suits their practice. participants will discuss, develop, and practice supervision strategies through didactic work, large group discussions, and role plays. In addition, participants will explore ethical and legal situations that supervisors may encounter as well as the role of mentor-supervisors as anti-racist collaborators. Lastly, participants will have opportunities to start to implement their supervision skills into their practice and learn about evaluation strategies.
