Workshop Description: We will all collaborate and contribute to this presentation and conversation about messy and anxiety inducing situations we confront daily in the practice of clinical supervision.  We will focus on lived experiences presented by the participants who are to bring three examples of:

1.    one past or present critical incident scenario with their own current or past supervisor, administration of their organization, or external legal or regulatory body, and
2.    two past or present critical incident scenarios experienced as supervisors in relation to their supervisees.

Frank and open (and fun!) discussion of our own experiences, learning issues, transferences and countertransfences, strengths and challenges will be a vital part of our collaboration.  The instructor believes that we learn mostly from our errors and that is why what we do is an art that requires continual practice and fine tuning.  Safety, confidentiality and respect for each others’ perspectives will be fostered to create a positive atmosphere for learning and growth.

This workshop is designed for intermediate and advanced practitioners as a collaborative forum to process, troubleshoot, problem solve and evaluate the critical incident scenarios presented.

Learning objectives:
1.    Demonstrate effective and ineffective supervisory engagements as they relate to functions, roles and philosophies of the clinical supervisor.
2.    Increase knowledge and skills from sharing critical incidents and acquire an array of optimal and mindful responses to critical and challenging situations.
3.    Assess the complexity of the supervisory relationship within the contextual framework of best practice, professional values and ethics, organization, regulations and law, and discover means to navigate through the systems involved.
