The goals of supervision are fourfold: (a) to promote supervisee growth and development, (b) to protect the welfare of the client, (c) to monitor supervisee performance and act as a gatekeeper for the profession, and (d) to empower the supervisee to self-supervise and carry out these goals as an independent professional. Supervision is the balance of providing both opportunities and challenges while maintaining a positive and safe professional relationship. This balance requires a firm foundation of appropriate boundaries and information-sharing about the process of supervision. Supervision is a complex process that entails a multitude of roles and responsibilities. Roles are the functional relationships between supervisor and those of the supervisee; responsibilities include the clinical, ethical and legal duties of the supervisor This highly interactive half-day workshop will assist participants in developing the important skills necessary for becoming a competent and effective supervisor. Use of real-life case studies and role-playing provide the participants with opportunities to practice effective strategies to bring about the most positive outcome for the supervisor and the supervisee.
