Foundations and Frameworks: Constructing Effective Clinical Supervision

This workshop provides an essential framework for supervisors in mental health counseling, focusing on the core elements that make supervision effective, ethical, and supportive. Participants will explore the key functions of clinical supervision, including administrative, educational, and supportive roles. The workshop will offer practical tools such as supervision contracts, relationship-building strategies, and essential skills to enhance the supervisory process. Through interactive activities, role plays, and discussions, supervisors will learn how to foster a productive supervisory relationship, balance different functions of supervision, and provide effective feedback.

This workshop is ideal for both new and experienced supervisors looking to strengthen their supervisory approach and ensure they are equipped to guide supervisees effectively while maintaining professional and ethical standards.
