About the Course

Clinical supervision is a cornerstone of professional growth and ethical practice. This 3-hour webinar focuses on the administrative function of supervision, offering a structured approach to guide supervisors in creating effective and meaningful supervisory relationships. Participants will explore how to define their vision of who they want to supervise and why, and they will learn to navigate the planning and preparation phase, including the essential paperwork needed to establish the supervisory relationship.

This course is based on the recorded webinar, Supervision Essentials: Building a Strong Foundation for Clinical Supervision created by Amie Bryant, LCSW, CAS, ACS et al. in 2025.
