Scheduling Your Clinical Supervision Session
We are happy to offer 1:1 or group clinical supervision with a specific focus on Motivational Interviewing spirit and techniques.
With our supervision program, participants will receive an opportunity to explore their practice, talk about what is going well and places that they are struggling, review cases and discuss their own personal and professional goals.
Participants will get support with learning and practicing the implementation of motivational interviewing skills so that they may engage in compassionate and collaborative conversations, improve interactions with others, reduce burnout and improve outcomes with those served.
