Agenda

Thursday, July 27th, 2023 - 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm CST at Belmont University

Title: Foundations in Clinical Supervision

Description: 

Supervision is the “signature pedagogy “of the helping professions, and is vital in the development of effective and ethical counselors.  The relationship that a supervisor develops with their supervisees is a subtle and powerful, and is tied to several developmental outcomes for the supervisee.  In this interactive presentation, we will outline why the supervisory relationship matters, identify factors that affect the strength of the relationship, and provide strategies to cultivate strong relationships with their supervisees.  In addition, the presenters will provide a brief overview of multiple models of supervision, and ethical considerations each supervisor should be aware of.
