Course Description
Supervision is the cornerstone of the apprenticeship model that has been used to craft new mental health professionals for more than 100 years. For new supervisors, the task can be overwhelming. In this course, we review what it takes to supervise well: The work, and the ways of being. Topics include the role of the supervisor, legal and ethical responsibilities of supervisors, models of supervision, troubleshooting (including addressing unethical or incompetent supervisees), the supervision contract, and supervision tasks.

I found the course incredibly interesting and relevant. It felt like a fresh take on the subject, which is easy to digest and implement. I will certainly take another course with either SimplePractice and/or Ben Caldwell. Thanks
