Supervisory Support for Adopting and Supporting Evidence-Based Practices
When: Wednesday, May 28 - 12:00 PM
Duration: 2 hours
Location: Zoom
Event Details:
The behavioral healthcare system faces daunting challenges in ensuring that the research literature on evidence-based practices guides services. Supervisors play a critical role in supporting their supervisees to integrate evidence-based practices, clinical experience, and client preferences to promote meaningful outcomes. Join us for a dynamic workshop with Dr. Tony Salerno designed to help clinical supervisors enhance their ability to support the professional development of their supervisees. Participants in this training will deepen their understanding of the variety of professional development strategies they may employ to support their supervisees in learning and implementing best practices that are evidence-informed and client-centered. Through a combination of lecture, discussion, tools, and resources, this course offers supervisors practical and meaningful coaching and mentoring approaches. These approaches are designed to assist direct care practitioners in enhancing their knowledge and skills to reflect best practices in behavioral health treatment.
As a result of this training, participants will be able to:
- Describe the key responsibilities of clinical supervisors in facilitating their supervisees’ development of core clinical competencies
- Identify strategies supervisors can utilize to expand their supervisees’ knowledge of presenting issues and their ability to select and implement appropriate, evidence-informed intervention approaches
- Evaluate the role of reflective supervision in supporting clinicians navigate barriers to effective treatment implementation and effective clinical decision-making
- Implement supervisory strategies to foster clinicians’ development of skills needed to implement evidence-informed practices with fidelity
