This 9-hour series is comprised of both small group supervision-of-supervision and supervision didactics. At the North Carolina Intensive In-Home sites, the small group supervision training occurs in the afternoons following All Staff Booster Workshops. In the small group supervision training, each supervisor is given 45-minutes to present a team delivering the state-mandated intensive, in-home treatment model, ESFT. Supervisors present videos of their teams doing family therapy, as well as videos of their team supervision. They obtain personalized feedback on supervising their teams, are encouraged to reflect upon their work as a supervisor, and have opportunities to practice new skills in a supportive atmosphere. ESFT supervisory tools, such as the Brief FBMHS Adherence Scale, the DocF, the Supervision Self-Monitoring Form, and Clinical Skills Assessments, are discussed and utilized to strengthen supervisory skills in helping supervisees implement the ESFT model with fidelity.

Objectives:

As a result of participating in the supervision-of-supervision series, supervisors will be able to:

1. Support the development of supervisees’ skills needed to implement the ESFT model with fidelity.
2. Establish and maintain a positive, meaningful, and effective relationship with supervisees individually and collectively.

This supervision-of-supervision series counts toward required annual supervision training hours in for ESFT Intensive In-Home, but is not currently offered for CE credit. CE credit.

This is an intermediate level course. The target audience is behavioral health supervisors working within an Ecosystemic Family Therapy Model. This is a live synchronous distance learning activity conducted in real time, allowing for simultaneous participation of participants and instructors from different locations.

Therapists new to a family systems approach to treatment often encounter difficulty adopting and maintaining a systemic or relational perspective concerning problems and their solutions. A nonrelational or acontextual orientation compromises therapists’ ability to identify problematic family interactional patterns. It also interferes with using enactments, a core treatment method in ESFT. This interactive discussion-oriented training uses supervision videotapes and case examples to identify supervisory strategies for helping supervisees develop a more relational orientation to working with families.

Objectives:

1. Identify barriers supervisors face in helping therapists maintain a relational or systemic perspective
2. Identify strategies for addressing these barriers and helping therapists see patterns and context

Children and adolescents with severe emotional and behavioral issues (and their families) can become entrenched in negative interactional patterns that perpetuate and exacerbate high-risk behavior.  ESFT treatment, using enactments, disrupts and shifts these negative interactional patterns to more functional ones.  This training builds upon the Fall workshop, Shifting Negative Patterns Through Facilitated Enactments, which introduced enactments and how to use them in family assessment.  This workshop describes three types of change–inducing enactments.  Videotaped sessions demonstrate how to use different enactments in family treatment.  An emphasis is placed on having a systemic case conceptualization guiding family sessions.  A systemic case conceptualization enables family therapists to recognize key negative patterns when they occur and use enactments to create more functional relationships.  Four phases of enactment are explained: setting the stage, giving the directive, keeping the conversation on track, and helping the family process and make meaning of the enactment.

Objectives 

As a result of attending this training, participants will be able to:

1. Describe enactments and how systems theory informs this technique
2. Identify three types of change-inducing enactments
3. Explain the four phases of an enactment
