Reflective Supervision: A Support for Staff and Supervisors

Participants will learn how the elements of reflective supervision improve the work life balance of both supervisor and supervisee. They will learn the key components to reflective supervision, and how they create positive outcomes with a ripple effect from supervisor out to client care.

$30 per registration (includes 2 Supervision CEUs)

Presented by:

Vicky Kelly, PSY-D, MSW - see bio below

Join us to learn how reflection opens up the supervisory relationship and improves clinicians' ability to shift and adapt.

Participants will:

1. Be introduced to the key components of best practice in reflective supervision.

2. Understand the proximal (e.g., increased awareness, knowledge, skills, and coping) and intermediate (e.g., reflective practice, job satisfaction/meaning) staff outcomes vs. the distal program and client outcomes (e.g., staff retention, quality family engagement, improved client outcomes, improved self-efficacy of supervisor) related to reflective supervision.

3. Gain understanding of how reflective supervision promotes reflective practice (e.g., by learning to better manage the complexity of relationships and powerful emotional reactions that can accompany direct practice the supervisee can enhance capacity to shift perspectives, recognize personal biases, set effective boundaries, slow down, listen, and observe, thus providing opportunities for clients to experience feeling seen, affirmed, and supported).

4. Deepen understanding of how to recognize and impact parallel process (i.e., ways in which one relationship affects another within the nested network of relationships involving the client/family, clinician/worker, and supervisor).
