Competency-Based Approach to Group Supervision: Supervisor Multicultural Humility, Supervisee Self-Efficacy, and Client Satisfaction
Enroll in the Online Self-Study course and complete it at your own pace.
1 CE hour available for behavioral health clinicians upon completion.
Clinical supervision plays a vital role in shaping competent, confident clinicians—but without cultural humility, even well-intentioned supervision can fall short. Supervisors who fail to explore identity, worldview, and bias risk diminishing supervisee self-efficacy and undermining client satisfaction.
This course offers a supportive and practical framework for supervisors who want to lead with cultural responsiveness, enhance the supervision relationship, and support better outcomes for both supervisees and their clients.
