Equity in Action: Trauma-Informed Supervision
Online Course: Fall 2024
Trauma-informed supervision is critical in all settings, and it is important to give specific attention to the impact of systemic and structural oppression in supervisory relationships. There is a need for an equity-centered focus in trauma-informed supervision, and there are unique ways that people who experience forms of identity-based oppression can experience trauma.
Participants in this course will engage in skill building and self-reflection to examine ways that trauma, systems, and culture impact our supervision with or without our awareness. This course will help current and future supervisors gain skills to create supervisory relationships built on a foundation of emotional safety, trust, authenticity, autonomy, and collaboration.
A foundation of equity-centered trauma-informed supervision benefits supervisees by serving as a model for how to treat co-workers and clients. Whether you're experienced, new, or not yet a supervisor, you are invited to explore equity-centered trauma-informed supervision.
