Supervisory Skills: Foundations & Insights

Are you looking to elevate your play therapy supervision practice, gain confidence, and ensure you’re fully equipped to support your supervisees? 

Join us for this transformative experience where you’ll gain practical tools and in-depth knowledge to feel more prepared and confident in your role as a supervisor. It’s about giving you the structure you need to navigate the often complex world of supervision.

This course will delve into critical topics that will transform your supervision practice, including:

  • Principles & Theoretical Frameworks: Ground your supervision in solid theoretical foundations to ensure ethical, effective guidance.
  • Clarifying Roles & Relationships: Understand the distinctions between supervision and consultation—what have you agreed upon, and how can you maintain clarity in these roles?
  • Gatekeeping & Power Dynamics: Explore the importance of gatekeeping in supervision and how to handle power dynamics with awareness and grace.
  • Navigating Ethical Dilemmas: Learn to recognize and manage ethical dilemmas, set clear boundaries, and know your limitations—where do you turn when you need guidance?
  • Tailoring Supervision to Specific Standards: Each practice setting, whether private practice or agency work, has different standards and guidelines. We’ll discuss the important questions to ask and considerations to keep in mind regardless of location or regulatory environment.
  • Addressing Language Barriers: Discuss ethical considerations when your supervisee speaks a different language or when English isn’t their first language.
  • Empowering vs. Instructing: Learn how to support growth and empowerment in your supervisees by encouraging curiosity and reflective practice, rather than simply telling them what to do.

This training is invaluable for ALL play therapy supervisors, including those located outside of the United States, and will ensure you are well-prepared to foster growth and excellence in your supervisees, regardless of location or regulatory environment.
