Upcoming Supervision Training
CASA provides limited supervision training throughout the year and throughout Aotearoa. These trainings are popular and have limited spaces. Below you will find a list of supervision trainings offered and the registration link to these trainings
Supervision is the mechanism by which clinicians can maximize client and staff safety, develop clinical skills, safely explore ethical dilemmas, and on a regular and detailed level ensure effective, competent, legal and ethical practice.
Clinicians and support workers with an appropriate level of experience can be trained to provide supervision for their peers and colleagues.
CASA has considerable collective experience and knowledge in the area of supervision which enables us to develop an up-to-date presentation on a range of theoretical topics including models, skills, and how to manage issues that arise in supervision. This knowledge comes from CASA’s investment in supervision; ongoing reviews of the literature; and delivering trainings for the past decade to Tu Whatu Ora staff in several regions.
Through this experience we have fine-tuned our assessment approach; the structure of the trainings; the content of the trainings and the delivery style.
Our supervision workshops are interactive, experiential, and follow a flipped classroom style of learning. Our trainers are passionate about supervision and aim to install enthusiasm and confidence in our supervisees.
