Stress Management

Training Synopsis

This training marries the essential elements of a successful supervisory practice with the core ethical standards of substance use counseling. ​

Core Ideas

While many supervision trainings focus on teaching and monitoring clinical skills, this training has ethical principles as its foundation. This will not be a dry, boring ethics training, but will show how ethical principles come alive in our supervision practices. Participants will learn vital ethical values and how to evaluate and develop them in each clinician they supervise. Participants will learn crucial supervisory skills and apply them to ethical dilemmas the clinicians may encounter. Participants will gain tools to ensure that each clinician can grow an ethical practice that will help protect the profession, the clinician, and every client they serve. This training will give participants tools to both evaluate the ethical practice of each clinician and to strengthen any ethically weak areas, which will allow participants to anticipate and address problems before ethical violations occur.
