In Pennsylvania’s Family Based Mental Health Services program, treatment is team delivered. This adds another level of complexity to supervision. Not only must supervisors hold in mind each individual therapists’ development, but also development of the team itself. This workshop identifies the stages of team development and the most common team-based challenges supervisors face.  The role of the supervisor in supporting team is highlighted, as well as supervisory strategies for addressing issues that arise. Supervisors are encouraged to be prepared to present a team (and bring a supervision video) who is struggling with teaming issues. Participants will discuss the team’s challenges and apply the principles and concepts presented in this workshop. The concept of isomorphic process is used as a guide in discussing team issues.

Objectives:

  1. Identify six stages of team development
  2. Describe common challenges in team functioning
  3. Explain the concept of isomorphism in supervision
  4. Describe strategies for supporting functional teams
