Clinical Supervision Training
Discover supervision models, trauma-informed supervision, early conversations and contracting, feedback, ethics, power, questioning, intersectionality, and use of self.
Quality supervision consistently benefits workers, services, and clients. It boosts job satisfaction and morale, ensures optimal client care through better communication, supports reflection and learning, and fosters a culture of good practice and innovation.
This course is comprised of a mixture of theory and practice relating to clinical supervision and covers a range of topics, including supervision models, trauma-informed supervision, early conversations and contracting, feedback, ethics, power, questioning, intersectionality, and use of self. It also involves opportunities to practice clinical supervision.
The course focuses on clinical supervision, distinguishing it from line management. While group supervision isn’t a dedicated topic, the shared frameworks remain applicable.
