Understanding the Role of the Supervisor

It can be really hard for new supervisors to step into the role of supervisor, which is distinctly different than boss, therapist, cheerleader, or teacher. It combines aspects of each of these while being uniquely other.

It includes supporting your supervisee's professional growth, ensuring ethical practice, and promoting client well-being.

Supervisors are responsible for:

Providing guidance and support for supervisees' professional development.
Ensuring that supervisees are competent and ethical in their practice.
Advocating for supervisees and their clients within the organization.
Monitoring and evaluating the quality of services provided.
Helping them come out of supervision ready to work without being burned out. And MUCH more.
