This course offers a comprehensive, practice‑focused introduction to clinical supervision, guiding emerging supervisors through the foundations, processes, and relational dynamics that shape effective supervisory practice. Participants will learn to ground their supervision in clear theoretical models, establish strong structures and expectations, and apply ethical, developmental, and competency‑based approaches to assessment and feedback. The course emphasizes building culturally responsive supervisory relationships, navigating power and identity, and addressing conflict and rupture with confidence and care. Through reflective practice, consultation, and attention to wellness, participants develop the skills, self‑awareness, and professional resilience needed to grow into ethical, competent, and sustainable clinical supervisors.
