Episode 288 - (SUPERVISION) Remote Supervision

We’re continuing Supervision September with a look into the future of supervision: Remotely supervising others from the comfort of your own home. Or, at least, it seemed like a futuristic skill five or six years ago. But even though we’re all comfortable with Zoom-ing into an appointment, does that make us capable of effectively supervising staff and trainees using the same modalities? We look at some of the common barriers encountered in remote supervision work, some solutions to overcome them, and some tips for how to bring everything together to create meaningful and effective supervision activities.
