What is Group Supervision?
Group supervision is an opportunity for social workers, counselors and therapists to receive mutual support from one another while learning core skills needed to grow as clinicians during their season after graduation and before licensure (pre-licensure). Group supervision serves as a hive that helps therapists, social workers, and counselors solve complex concerns, effectively discuss ways growth can occur individually and collectively, and learn essential skills and best practices when providing mental health care (MacKenzie, 1990).
I already have an individual supervisor, what is the point of having a group too?
Individual supervision is great and an important requirement for us to be in this group. Individual supervision is one on one catered and customized support htat will help you grow individually. However, group supervision will allow you to learn alongside us and your fellow pre-licensed clinicians. We think that undoing aloneness begins with creating spaces for collaboration, and this is a way we think will support those going toward their licenses!

Along with two supervisors perspectives and the aspects named above, we will:
-
Support with Sustaining Self: Working Against Burnout
We will work on discussing the ways that burnout impacts our overall wellbeing and specifically how It impacts our work as therapists, social workers, and counselors.
-
Strengthening Intersectional and Systemic Skill Building for Therapists
We believe that the intersectional perspectives we and our clients bring heavily impacts our work. Because of this, we want to hold space for clinicians to delve into the ways that intersectionality impacts systems and hence adjusts the ways we need to use our skillsets in our work.
-
Case Conceptualization and Administrative Support
We believe that understanding our cases and managing them holistically is a salient part of our work. In group supervision, we will discuss the ways that we can effectively (and with all HIPAA compliance in mind) discuss the concerns we see in our work and how to document it properly.
-
Building Confidence in Ethical Decision Making
Confidence doesn’t happen overnight! It takes consistent practice in our work and encouragement from others. We think It is important to not only know our ethical guidelines (depending on the profession) and understand how our ethical guidelines overlap.
