Description

Supervision is a key component to becoming a successful independent practitioner. However, there are important aspects of supervision, both group and individual, that are necessary to make sure that your supervisee is prepared to work with the senior population. The challenges can be daunting and working with this population isn't for everyone. It is important to dig deep into the challenges this population presents and the rewards you receive in the most creative manner. This will allow supervision to be most effective. Each participant will learn what is crucial to incorporate during supervision when working with a senior client.

 
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 and strategies needed to work effectively in the senior population.
