In this workshop, participants will learn how to assess a clinician's level of development and match where the clinician is with the supervisory role and skills that are best fit for the supervise.
Participants will learn how supervisors can provide play-based supervision interventions for the purpose of engaging supervisees experientially while helping supervisees hone their play therapy skills. This course will provide case-studies for participants to apply what they learn in the course about the supervision models to fictional but realistic supervision scenarios.
