About the Event

Clinical supervisors are often the first in line when professional grievances are filed, and the majority of complaints stem from gaps in documentation that could have been prevented. This interactive 3-hour training is designed to equip supervisors with the tools they need to “grievance-proof” their practice and protect both themselves and their supervisees.

Participants will take a deep dive into the top five grievances most frequently filed against supervisors, exploring how issues such as poor documentation, boundary confusion, inadequate evaluation, confidentiality breaches, and failure to address ethical concerns can put both supervisors and supervisees at risk.

Through a blend of real-world case examples, group discussion, and applied exercises, attendees will practice documentation strategies that strengthen accountability and reduce liability. Special focus will be placed on creating clear and effective supervision contracts, writing defensible progress notes, conducting meaningful evaluations, and handling incident reports with confidence. Supervisors will walk away with concrete tools and best practices to enhance documentation, foster stronger supervision relationships, and safeguard their professional practice against grievances.

This is a live online event. It will be conducted via Zoom Webinar.
