Starting Strong: Shaping Supervision in Three Sessions

February 27th, 10:00 am - 1:00 pm CST

Virtual Event

3 CE hours available!

The early stages of clinical supervision are vital to building a strong and trusting relationship that creates space for vulnerability and growth. Before we can jump into cases and technique, we have to focus on building this relationship with intention and clarity.

In this training, we’ll dig into how to leverage your first three meetings with a supervisee to begin establishing trust, rapport and connection. We will cover how to initiate conversations around expectations, feedback, power and identity in supervision, and more. To support these vital discussions we will leverage supervisory agreements as a tool to strengthen collaboration and accountability between supervisor and supervisee. You’ll get a practical customizable template to guide your own agreement and an understanding of how to use it as a guide for establishing the supervisory alliance. By the end you will have clarity on how early supervision and the use of supervisory agreements allow both supervisor and supervisee to collaborate on the shared art of clinical supervision in a beautiful and meaningful way.

Whether you’re a new supervisor looking to start your journey with best practices or a more seasoned supervisor wanting to improve your agreement and its implementation, this training offers a chance to deepen your supervisory practice and connect with others who care about doing this work with intention and integrity.

1. Explore a trauma informed 3 stage model approach to supervision and understand the importance of stage 1
2. Understand the conversations most important to early supervisory relationships
