Join us for a transformative course that addresses the critical need for trauma-informed and culturally responsive supervision within the mental health professions. Led by Dr. Sofia Georgiadou—an Assistant Professor and Internship Coordinator at the University of Houston at Clear Lake’s MA in Family Therapy Program—you will explore how trauma and systemic oppression impact the supervisory relationship. Originally from Greece, Dr. Georgiadou brings a unique international perspective to her teaching and supervision, developing courses that use an intersectional approach to better support international students, immigrants, and individuals from equity-deserving communities. Her extensive research in qualitative and mixed methods, along with her experience in culturally responsive practices, ensures that you'll gain valuable insights and strategies.
Designed for new and experienced clinical supervisors—such as licensed therapists, counselors, and social workers—this course is particularly beneficial for those working with diverse populations or in multicultural settings. You'll learn practical strategies that go beyond traditional supervision models, integrating trauma-informed care principles with culturally responsive supervision techniques. Through case studies, experiential self-reflection activities, and engaging discussions facilitated by Dr. Georgiadou, you'll enhance your ability to approach supervision with cultural humility and authentic engagement. Join us to learn how to have courageous conversations about identity, power, and privilege within the supervisory relationship, and develop a concrete plan to integrate trauma-informed, culturally responsive practices into your supervisory approach.
Key topics include:
- Intersections of trauma, culture, and supervision
- Creating safety and containment in individual and group supervision
- Supporting supervisees' management of vicarious trauma
- Addressing microaggressions and ruptures in the supervisory alliance
- Promoting equity and inclusion in supervisory settings
Participants will leave with enhanced self-reflection skills, practical tools and interventions, and an individualized action plan for providing more trauma-informed, culturally responsive supervision.
