Strong and effective supervision within social service organizations is a critical component in ensuring positive impacts in the communities we serve. Today’s service providers are faced with complex work, multiple distractions, competing priorities, as well as dealing with the emotional impact of working in a helping profession. As supervisors, how can we best guide and assist our staff to be successful and have the greatest impact?
This workshop aims to provide those with supervisory responsibilities with important tools to help staff perform well and achieve strong outcomes. These tools include the development of a supervisory relationship marked by accountability, trust and safety; the promotion of a growth mindset, and the use of reflective supervision and practice.
Reflective supervision is defined as a relationship-based and collaborative approach in which staff can reflect on and learn about their work. The relationship contains elements of safety and mutual respect which models the desired working relationship of those we serve in order to improve program quality and strengthen practice. In this case, reflection involves paying deliberate attention to our work and interpersonal experiences and making a commitment to plan and implement resulting strategies.
Workshop learning will occur through a combination of facilitator instruction (based off of professional experience and best practice resources), a video involving a case vignette and small and large group discussions. Participants will have opportunities to explore their own supervisory experiences as they relate to the topics discussed. Follow-up consultation will include group discussions with workshop participants around the utilization of Reflective Practice and Supervision methods and tools in their everyday work.
This workshop satisfies 6 hours toward the clinical supervision requirement for professional counselors in Illinois.
Workshop Objectives:
1. Participants will gain understanding of the complexities inherent in the supervisor/supervisee relationship and will become knowledgeable in utilizing this relationship to the benefit of staff as it relates to learning and service delivery or performance.
2. Participants will gain knowledge in understanding the concept and importance of reflective supervision and will learn to apply recommended methods in assisting the staff to make use of reflective practice.
