PsyBA Master Class: Clinical Supervision in Adult Mental Health:Managing risk, self-care and ethics
About the Workshop:
The workshop provides a framework for supervisors to apply competency based supervision for those working with clients who present with complex mental health and comorbid presentations. There is a focus on identifying risk and managing the often complex clinical issues that arise from working with clients who present with acute or chronic complex mental health presentations. Coverage of systemic issues and working within a multidisciplinary context and medical model is also addressed with regards to clinical management issues, reporting and confidentiality issues. Pre-reading resources are provided, including revision documents of competency based supervision to ensure participants are familiar with the Board requirements.
