Tele-Supervision: Essentials in in-person and video/virtual meetings

1:00 PM to 4:20 PM 

Presented by Arpana G. Inman, PhD, ABPP  3 CE Credits

Clinical supervision is a core competency area within the counseling fields and essential to the development of competent clinicians. Although face-to-face formats have been traditionally used in the provision of clinical supervision, advances in telecommunication and the changing nature of clinical practice have led to greater growth and support for the use of computer-based technologies in supervision. This webinar will focus on understanding how tele-supervision may be similar or different from face-to-face supervision, identify best practices in tele-supervision, and most importantly understand the ethical and cultural considerations in tele-supervision.

At the end of this workshop, attendees will be able to 

1. Identify at least two strengths and challenges in tele-supervision.
2. Implement and evaluate best practices in tele-supervision.
3. Incorporate ethical and cultural considerations in tele-supervision.
