This course addresses the key challenges mental health supervisors face, such as navigating difficult conversations, managing supervisee competence, and handling interpersonal conflicts. It equips supervisors with tools and strategies to overcome these hurdles while preserving the supervisory relationship. By identifying common errors, focusing on humility, rupture, and repair, providing a framework for feedback, and knowing when and how to create action plans when needed, the course empowers supervisors to handle complex situations with confidence and effectiveness.
This course is designed for mental health professionals serving as clinical supervisors, including licensed therapists, social workers, counselors, and psychologists. It is ideal for those with foundational supervision experience seeking to strengthen their ability to manage difficult situations and support supervisees' professional growth.
This course offers a practical, real-world approach to overcoming key supervisory challenges such as supervisee competence issues, strained supervisory alliances, and the need for courageous conversations. Using case vignettes and participant engagement, it equips supervisors with new insights into managing conflicts and mistakes while introducing innovative strategies for developing action plans. By emphasizing practical application and self-awareness, the course ensures participants gain actionable skills that align with best practices in clinical supervision.
Participants will leave with enhanced confidence and refined skills to manage challenges in both individual and group supervision. They will learn to navigate anxiety, transference/countertransference, attachment issues, and power dynamics in supervision. Additionally, participants will gain a deeper understanding of rupture/repair dynamics, how to give effective feedback, and how to implement action plans to address performance concerns. Through case examples and self-reflection, participants will become more effective, resilient supervisors, capable of fostering supervisee growth while upholding professional standards.
This course combines theoretical knowledge with hands-on application to provide a comprehensive framework for improving supervisory practice. Through active participation, case studies, and self-reflection, supervisors will not only learn to avoid common pitfalls but also foster more resilient supervisory relationships. The course promotes personal and professional growth, enabling supervisors to create supportive and productive environments where supervisees can thrive.
