How Do We Cultivate Resilience in Our Supervisees? And, What About Us?
As clinical supervisors, we have multiple responsibilities ranging from the need to ensure competent patient care, role modeling and teaching ethical practice, engaging in clinical skill building and training, and monitoring appropriate documentation. As we juggle all these balls, the one that is rarely named but should be primary is to ensure that we nurture and support the resilience of our supervisees, which has the added benefit of enhancing our own capacity to bounce back as needed. This workshop focuses on the evidence-based strategies and attitudes that build resilience, including mindfulness, gratitude, optimism and hope, self-compassion, and perseverance.
