Foundational Reflective Supervision/Consultation Training (Online)

Best practice in serving young children and families includes a workforce who receives ongoing support and opportunities for reflection about both the successes and the challenges encountered in their work.

​Reflective supervision/consultation (RSC) is a form of intentional, regularly scheduled professional support that focuses on enhancing the reflective capacity of professionals in order to increase the quality of services to children & families and to support staff wellbeing, job satisfaction, and retention.​

Reflective supervision/consultation:

• supports staff to provide services in ways that support healthy relationships and optimal growth and development of the child

• encourages staff and family wellbeing, and

• supports staff through difficult situations they encounter in their work with families.

Description:

Technology Requirements: 

To ensure the best possible experience for all participants, the program relies on online video conferencing, which has minimum requirements to work properly. You will need a desktop or laptop computer with speakers, microphone, and webcam, and a high-speed internet connection.
