Why You'll Love This Course
This course goes beyond the mechanics of supervision -- the contract, the tasks, and the troubleshooting, all of which are included here -- and into why you supervise in the first place. Ben Caldwell encourages supervisors to view their role as one that includes much more than teaching clinical skills and monitoring progress. The role of the supervisor is to motivate, inspire, and instill hope. This course doesn’t just show you how to do supervision -- it shows you how to create a good clinician.
Course Description
Supervision is the cornerstone of the apprenticeship model that has been used to craft new mental health professionals for more than 100 years. For new supervisors, the task can be overwhelming. In this course, we review what it takes to supervise well: The work, and the ways of being. Topics include the role of the supervisor, legal and ethical responsibilities of supervisors, models of supervision, troubleshooting (including addressing unethical or incompetent supervisees), the supervision contract, and supervision tasks.

Ben's passion for our field of mental health shows in how he presents the information. This was so inspiring and quite educational. I hope to have other trainings by Ben in the future as well.

I found the course incredibly interesting and relevant. It felt like a fresh take on the subject, which is easy to digest and implement. I will certainly take another course with either SimplePractice and/or Ben Caldwell. Thanks
