Description

The time spent in individual supervision can be used artfully to help the worker develop their own decision-making skills. The first step in this process is developing a relationship that has clear boundaries, communication structures, and goals. Supervision time can be best used emphasizing a questioning approach and tools specifically designed to enhance critical thinking, with the goal of developing more independent, stronger decision makers.
