Arts-based supervision: How to be a better supervisor and supervisee

The arts are powerful tools in the clinical space, allowing clients to express themselves in ways that words cannot. This is also true in supervision, allowing supervisees to understand their work in potentially deeper ways and build a stronger supervisory relationship. This course will provide theoretical frameworks to support egalitarian supervision. We will also engage in a creative practice that can be used to strengthen the educational and supportive aspects of supervision.

This 1.5 CE online event is offered by the LCAT Advocacy Coalition as a fundraiser for ongoing legislative advocacy in New York State to increase access to the creative arts therapists and to protect the rights of current clients who depend on insurance to access these therapies.

Learning Objectives:

• Learn 2 arts-based methods to engage with supervisees (both in-person and virtually)
• Identify 3 supervision theoretical orientations
