Class 1 - September 8th, 2025
10:00 AM - 1:00 PM EST
Building Blocks for Successful Supervision
A total of 20 important components for effective supervision have been identified. Each component will be examined and select ones will be reinforced by videos that emphasize the key points. Skillful integration of these building blocks enables supervisors to achieve success. The building blocks can be catergorized into 3 parts: (1) essentials for leadership - including conflict resolution, decision-making, critical thinking, and program metrics: (2) Clinical issues such as teamwork, CBT for supervision; and (3) Administrative essentials - office organization; dealing with silos; avoid being a sandwiched manager.
By skillfully integrating these components, supervisors can enhance their leadership skills, improve clinical supervision, and efficiently manage administrative tasks. Learning not only what to do but also how to do it will empower supervisors to effectively apply their knowledge in real-world scenarios, ensuring success in their roles.
The major focus is for supervisors who are supervising units within their organization and will focus more on administrative rather than clinical functions.

The Challenging Ethics of Mental Health Supervision
Supervisors are essential to the practice of mental health, but the supervisor’s role is a complicated one. Ethical considerations for supervisors can be very different from that of their supervisees. This training will explore the unique ethical considerations of supervisors, with special attention to the complications the supervisory role brings to boundaries. This course will provide a framework to contemplate ethical dilemmas and make informed decisions that insulate supervisors from compromising their liability while also supporting their supervisees and protecting clients from harm.

Leveraging Technology and AI in Clinical Supervision
The integration of technology and artificial intelligence (AI) in mental health supervision presents opportunities to enhance efficiency, improve feedback, and streamline processes, but it also introduces unique challenges. This training, designed for mental health practitioners in supervisory roles, explores the practical applications of technology and AI in clinical supervision while addressing critical ethical and legal considerations. Participants will gain insights into commonly used tools such as telehealth platforms, AI-driven feedback systems, and electronic health records, alongside emerging technologies like symptom-tracking apps and predictive analytics.
This comprehensive 3-hour session provides supervisors with the knowledge to guide supervisees in adopting technology effectively, ensuring compliance with professional standards such as HIPAA and maintaining the human element in clinical practice. The course includes pre-recorded case examples, ethical scenario analyses, and structured planning exercises to empower supervisors to evaluate and implement tech solutions confidently. By the end of the training, participants will be prepared to create a strategic plan for integrating technology into their supervision practice, balancing innovation with client and supervisee needs.
