Clinical Supervision and Leadership – Applying concepts, techniques, and interventions for proactive and engaging supervision

Clinical supervision is more than tending to schedules, checking documentation, and reviewing cases. Clinical supervisors are in the unique position to assist clinicians in their ongoing clinical skill development. Adopting the concept of deliberate practice, supervisors can help clinicians implement clinical skills that may lead to better outcomes for the people they serve.

These interactive sessions will guide participants in exploring current practices, focusing on skill practice to enhance supervision, and incorporating routine feedback for specific skills. Participants will practice using real- and case-examples to examine managing feedback, difficult situations, and cultural differences.

Every Thursday, August 22 – September 26, 2024 from 12:00 pm – 1:30 pm Central
