Not Going it Alone: The Role of Reflective Supervision in Increasing Staff Efficacy and Coping
November 17, 2016 - 1:00pm to 4:15pm
Child welfare professionals see, hear of, and try to prevent some of the hardest of human experiences, child maltreatment. Without a space to contain some of the feelings associated with their work, CW staff can become hardened, overwhelmed or shut down, leading to less effective engagement with children and families, and at times, poor decision-making. Reflective supervision offers a space to step back and consider the complexity of clients' lives and how best to proceed. It also affords staff a space to contemplate the worries and anxieties the work entails, thus reducing the negative impact on the health of the worker. In this workshop, participants will learn about the components of Reflective Supervision, observe a live model of RS and explore ways they can incorporate reflective practice in their work.
Registration for this course is closed. Visit the CE Course Catalog for more offerings.
