This course invites behavioral health professionals to strengthen their supervision practices by exploring major models that offer structure, insight, and flexibility. Whether you're seeking to sharpen your current approach or build a foundation for clinical supervision, this training provides clarity and direction.

Participants will learn about widely used approaches like psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, systemic, and integrative models, as well as the Discrimination Model, Hawkins & Shohet Model, and the Transtheoretical Model of Supervision. Key distinctions, strengths, and limitations of each model are examined, along with guidance on applying them across different supervisory contexts.
