Group Supervision: critical relational aspects
16 - 17 and 23 - 24 May 2024, 9:00am - 12:30pm AEST
This workshop focuses on the person of the supervisor who is transitioning from supervising one-on-one to supervising a group. We will explore self-reflection in both ourselves and individuals in the group, ways to maximise group engagement and the ‘how to’s' of managing the environment.
The breadth and depth of perspective in a group can lead to difficulties and challenges which the group supervisor needs to be able to both hold and respond to in ways that enhance the supervision process.
You’ll walk away with a deepened appreciation of the differences and specific qualities required for supervising in this format, an increased capacity to work with diversity and challenges and an enhanced ability to work with the multiple relationships that are encompassed in the group context.
