About this course

Providing trauma-informed supervision is critical to fostering employees' personal and professional development, enhancing clinical skills, implementing best practices, ensuring accountability, promoting self-care and wellness, and most importantly, improving client outcomes. 

Trauma-informed supervision is especially relevant in settings where staff serve clients who are likely to have histories of trauma exposure and staff often experience secondary trauma exposure through their clinical work.

Trauma-informed supervision helps supervisors create an atmosphere of safety, trust, choice, and collaboration in the workplace, which both benefits staff and serves as a model for how staff treat clients. Whether you’re experienced, new, or not yet a supervisor, you are invited to explore trauma-informed supervision – what it is, why it matters, how to use its frameworks and skills to enhance supervisory practice, and how to employ specific strategies to help staff thrive in their work.

Learning Objectives:

  • Describe what trauma-informed supervision is and why it matters
  • Explain how providing care for people living with traumatic stress can impact the health and well-being of supervisees
  • Describe three trauma-informed supervisory principles
  • Provide three ways for supervisors to help supervisees reduce the impact of secondary trauma
  • Demonstrate how to use the EPE approach to provide constructive feedback in supervision
