A discussion about telesupervision that includes lessons learned from internship to postgraduate clinical supervision. The training focuses on the unique opportunities and challenges inherent in the process of generating, building and co-creating the supervisory relationship with supervisees at a distance. A special focus includes the tasks of the working alliance between supervisors and supervisees and how it can be addressed in telesupervision. Because supervisors are at different stage of both supervisory development and telehealth development, we also include special considerations for beginning and advanced supervisors as it relates to their unique needs related to telesupervision.The training addresses techniques and methods related to individual and group telesupervision and how the supervisor can use technology to manage the needs of multiple supervisees.
