Culturally Responsive Clinical Supervision: Ethical and Trauma-Informed Multicultural Supervision Strategies

As a supervisor, I struggled with knowing how to teach my supervisees how to be culturally competent.

My students knew all of the multicultural theories and models, but they weren’t engaging with clients effectively.

Then I discovered how to make my supervision method antiracist – by teaching and modeling key ways to broach the topics of race and racial trauma… showing supervisees how to utilize the dynamic interaction of difference within supervision sessions… and demonstrating how to integrate multicultural theory into a cohesive intervention approach.

Watch me in my advanced supervision workshop and I’ll share this essential information with you. We’ll go beyond the basics together, and you’ll get:

• Tools for teaching supervisees how to therapeutically discuss race, culture, power, privilege, oppression, and intersectionality
• A roadmap for ethical, culturally-rooted, and trauma-informed case conceptualization
• Guidance for delivering social justice-drive intervention and advocacy

Don’t miss this opportunity to become a culturally responsive supervisor!
