Reflective Supervision/Consultation (RSC) Training 2023-2024

Level:

Foundational / Beginner

Description: 

For the first time, FAIMH is bringing a 15-hour training series open to all professional who want to learn about Reflective Supervision/Consultation (RSC)! The training will cover foundational concepts, key principles and processes, as well as how to successfully navigate challenges & growth opportunities commonly encountered in an RSC experience. You do not need to be currently supervising others to attend this training. It is recommended, but not required, that you are receiving RSC over the 6-month period between trainings.

This training is the first required step to become an Endorsed Reflective Supervisor, providing the required 15 hours of competency-based training specifically on the provision of RSC.

Day 1 (October 2023) will focus on foundational concepts--the who, what, when, where, how and, of course, the why of Reflective Supervision/Consultation (RSC). The impact and outcomes of RSC will be shared, along with key principles and practices that help every professional to hold the baby in mind. It will include interactive learning on diversity-informed, culturally responsive reflective practice, as well as relationship building within the supervisory relationship.

Day 2 (April 2024) will focus on challenges or discomfort commonly encountered in an RSC experience--whether you are a Supervisor (providing RSC) or a Supervisee (receiving RSC). Key principles such as the parallel process will continue to be explored. Navigating difficult conversations within RSC, creating a brave space to have honest conversations, cultivating safety to explore one's full range of feelings, as well as ensuring the experience is diversity-informed and culturally responsive will be demonstrated and explored.

Best for: 

• Infant/Early Childhood Professionals who are planning to become Reflective Supervisors/Consultants and need the required 15 hours of training
• Infant/Early Childhood Professionals who are providing Reflective Supervision in their role currently and want to earn IMH Endorsement® to become an Endorsed Reflective Supervisor (so that you can then provide RSC to all others seeking Endorsement® and to those who need RSC for Endorsement® renewal)
• IF you are receiving RSC currently (through your work or privately) - If you are not receiving RSC currently, we recommend attending the full Reflective Supervision Learning Collaborative to get both the Training + RSC required for Endorsement®.

Location:

Both training days in October & April will be held in person in at Sunshine Health 1299C NW 40th Ave, Lauderhill, FL 33313. 

Training Dates:
