Supporting Those Who Support Others: Contemporary Supervision Practices and Wellbeing Training
Abstract
Practice is only as good as the people who deliver it and to perform at their best, practitioners need to feel safe, confident and competent. Practitioners require regular supervision from a skilled supervisor who creates a safe and reflective space. But how does a supervisor become skilled and knowledgeable? How does a supervisor keep up to date with contemporary best practice approaches in supervision? What does a supervisor need to know about supporting mental health and wellbeing in the workplace?
This presentation explores how and why leaders need to invest in upskilling their supervisory workforce in contemporary best practice approaches. The presenters share professional insights and describe the ways they have responded to identified gaps in supervisory practice by training to, and embedding evidence-based models and critical concepts such as lived experience and cultural attunement, trauma informed care, and workforce safety and wellbeing.
Three Key Learnings:
1. The role of supervision in workforce safety and wellbeing
2. Developing and sustaining a skilled supervisory workforce
3. Contemporary best practice approaches in supervision and workforce safety and wellbeing
