Using Supervision to Promote ESFT Competencies

CE Hours: 3.0
Instructor: C. Wayne Jones, PhD

Friday, November 3, 2023, North Carolina Training Groups via Live Interactive Zoom Webconference
1:00pm-4:00pm

Too often in supervision, particularly in community-based agencies, urgent administrative clinical management tasks dominate, leaving little time for promoting the growth and development of supervisees as competent therapists. Similarly, supervisors who are interested in developing their personal skills as clinical supervisors may find too little time to review videos and reflect. We discuss these challenges as a group with the goal of identifying strategies for finding a balance between the various demands of supervising. To sharpen ESFT supervisory skills in developing supervisees’ competencies, we use the rubric – Seeing, Thinking, Doing, and Being. Videotapes of Family therapy sessions and supervision sessions are reviewed for practicing using supervisory tools such as the ESFT Clinical Competencies Scale and Recognizing Process in Clinical Supervision Scale

This is a live synchronous distance learning activity conducted in real time, allowing for simultaneous participation of participants and instructors from different locations.

Objectives:

As a result of participating in the forums, participants will be able to:

  1. Identify strategies for structuring supervision such that a focus on supervisee clinical growth and development is maintained.
  2. Recognize ESFT competencies in videotapes using the ESFT Competencies Scale.
  3. Recognize family process in videotapes using the Recognizing Process in Clinical Supervision Scale.  

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