Advanced Clinical Supervision: Integrating Multicultural, Developmental, and Relational Practice

This interactive six-hour training builds on foundational supervision skills by exploring more complex clinical supervision relationships and challenges. Using the Multicultural Integrated Supervision Model (MISM) as a framework, participants will examine how developmental level, culture, identity, power, privilege, and context influence the supervisory relationship and supervisee development. Participants will apply these concepts to complex supervision scenarios, including resistance, conflict, ethical concerns, performance issues, and differences in identity and perspective. Through case consultation, reflective exercises, skills practice, and structured discussion, participants will develop strategies for adapting their supervisory approach, navigating difficult conversations, providing meaningful feedback, and supporting supervisee growth while maintaining accountability.

This course is designed for clinical supervisors with some prior supervision experience who are ready to deepen and expand their supervisory skills. It is appropriate for intermediate to advanced supervisors who want to strengthen their ability to navigate complex supervisory relationships, developmental needs, cultural and identity differences, power dynamics, and challenging supervisory situations.
