Work with youth and families experiencing adversity, poverty, trauma, and/or mental illness is complex. There are not always “right” answers. Reflective Supervision supports staff members by helping them to step back from the immediate, intense experience of the hands-on work.

“This [RS] has been very helpful for me when doing supervision. It has helped with being more efficient with supervision and being able to talk about individual cases more reflectively.”
— Reflective Supervision Trainee
“[I learned] How to be more present with my supervisees, listen to their ‘story’ and wonder about their experience more, less judgment and more consideration for the process of not knowing.”
— Reflective Supervision Trainee
