When a supervisee struggles, is it always a clinical issue—or could it be a misjudged one? Many supervisors face the challenge of discerning real performance concerns from developmental delays, bias, or blind spots. This course reveals how to navigate those complexities with clarity, care, and strategy.

For clinical supervisors, effective remediation is about more than just course-correcting—it’s about empowering growth. This training provides a powerful framework to identify supervisee needs, apply supportive interventions, and reduce unnecessary referrals for personal treatment.
