This course reviews a variety of supervision skills and techniques which assist supervisors in addressing vicarious trauma, countertransference, and skills acquisition in their supervisees. It covers issues such as contextual factors, stages of development of both the supervisor and supervisee, leadership styles, and the tripartite relationship between client, supervisee, and supervisor. Philosophies of change and their impact will also be reviewed. In addition, participants engage in comprehensive self-assessments of their experience level in the practical application of Skills Based Supervision and construct an Individual Development Plan for ongoing growth in the model. A primary focus of this training day is converting the knowledge gained into practical application to affect change in supervision practice and effectiveness
