Friday, February 9, 2024, North Carolina Training Groups via Live Interactive Zoom Webconference
1:00pm-4:00pm

In behavioral health agencies providing intensive in-home treatment, there is often little organized preparation for stepping into a supervisory position overseeing the implementation of ESFT.  Initially the role can be overwhelming, given the multiple tasks of monitoring fidelity for model implementation, supporting therapists’ clinical skill development, and engaging reluctant staff who may have been practicing a different model before ESFT.

This workshop clarifies what effective ESFT supervisors do supervision. Strategies are presented for preparing the ESFT supervisor for the role through organized onboarding procedures that cover common challenges. As part of this goal, experienced ESFT supervisors are encouraged to share “lessons learned” with the newer ESFT supervisors. Focus is given to how new supervisors can best incorporate CFBT self-monitoring tools such as Recognizing Process in Clinical Supervision Rating Form and the Doing of Supervision Form.  Videotapes of family therapy sessions and supervision sessions are reviewed for practicing using these supervisory tools.

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. Clarify the roles and responsibilities of an ESFT supervisor.
2. Identify strategies for onboarding new ESFT supervisors.
3. Demonstrate the use of ESFT self-monitoring tools for improving supervisory practices.
