Description
Supervision can become monotonous if it is the same during each session, whether in a group setting or conducted individually. The challenges social workers face working with the geriatric population can be emotional and draining. It is important to be creative with supervision to make sure that the supervisees remain interested and engaged throughout each discussion. Participants will learn the challenges we face in this field and why it is important to utilize creative approaches to enhance the supervision experience.
This course is suitable for both beginning and intermediate levels. There is an introduction to the concept of supervision which is necessary and appropriate for beginners. It also applies to intermediate levels as it focuses on the qualities needed to keep people engaged in Supervision sessions
