Supervision

They ask difficult questions about whether current supervisory models are doing enough to support supervisees, while also celebrating those mentors whose guidance have permanently shaped other clinicians' practices. You'll find tips on building self-assurance and clinical confidence in your supervisees, as well as how to develop a community of practice. Learn more about properly supporting minoritized supervisees, establishing successful peer-consultation groups, and building clear and lasting relationships with your supervisees.
