Webinaires de l’ACCP ayant comme sujet la supervision

Webinar Description:Culture is a part of everything we are and everything we do. Cultural beliefs, awareness, knowledge, and experiences have a significant impact on all aspects of counselling; from the moment we connect with clients, we and they are enacting culture on multiple and intersecting levels. Gender, age, ethnic heritage, economics, education, sexual orientation, ability, social location, and other cultural factors affect the therapeutic alliance and the counselling process. Exploring these cultural considerations is particularly important in clinical supervision. In this webinar, Anne will outline several aspects of a cultural approach to clinical supervision.  It is not possible to have knowledge and experience of all cultural differences, however, a number of key principles and strategies can guide supervisors and supervisees to effectively support cultural diversity in both counselling and supervision contexts.

Webinar Description:The purpose of the Webinar on June 16th is to obtain final input from the membership on the draft guidelines that are being prepared by our project consultant in order to move forward with the creation of our membership “how-to” guide. The webinar panel will be made up of the Technology and Innovative Solutions Chapter Board, and the project consultant (approx. 3-5person panel), that will be presenting to the membership for discussion for approx. 1-1.5hrs. During this time, a draft guidelines summary will be presented, and the floor will be open to questions and answers (supported by an agenda to be developed), that can be continued with questions from the membership for an additional 48hrs.

Webinar Description:Supervision, as a distinct specialty in psychotherapy, continues to grow and mature. In training, supervisors learn about the structures and developmental processes that occur in supervision then use that knowledge to guide their actions. As supervisors gain experience, they begin to infuse supervision with their own style and creativity. In this webinar, we will explore ways to include creativity techniques from areas such as play, art, drama, and storytelling to enhance engagement in the supervisory process.

Webinar Description:Supervisors are guided by an ethical imperative to promote multicultural awareness, knowledge, and skills in training new professionals. Research indicates that simply having an appreciation of diversity in the provision of supervision is insufficient. Multicultural supervision attends to culture and diversity issues as core components. However, much attention continues to be drawn to the acquisition of multicultural competencies (“a way of doing” tasks in counselling). Increasingly, there are concerns about the missing piece – a multicultural orientation (“way of being”) as a core competence in supervision. Effective work with people of diverse identities first requires our own reflexivity and cultural self-assessment. This webinar examines feminist multicultural supervision and the centrality of “cultural humility”. A model for conceptualizing diversity domains is offered along with practical exercises and strategies.

Webinar Description:For some men, the experience of depression and seeking professional help places them at odds with masculine ideals of what it means to be a man. Men’s experiences of depression need to be understood within and beyond the confines of hegemonic/traditional masculinity. This webinar examines recent scholarship on the value of psychological flexibility, changing masculinities within a life span, and men’s voices on coping strategies for depression. Recommendations and strategies are offered to promote gender-sensitive practices.

Webinar Description:Clinician self-disclosure remains a topic that is often misunderstood and controversial in the training of mental health practitioners. There are common criticisms for self-disclosing. These include the negative impact on the working alliance, the nature and course of therapeutic work, and the boundaries between client and trainee. At the same time, an emerging body of literature and evidence affirms the potential therapeutic benefits of the informed use of self-disclosure. The supervisory alliance plays a critical role in fostering professional and ethical practice in a trainee’s development. This webinar examines the types of self-disclosure, theoretical orientations, risks/benefits, and offers suggestions for how supervisors can guide trainees in making informed decisions regarding self-disclosure in their client work.
