Supervisors collaborate with supervisees to develop agreements to guide their community trauma therapy work, adhere to standards of practice, ensure ethical decision making, and support a balanced workload while acknowledging therapist’s limits and practice that falls outside of the program’s scope of practice. Supervisors document demonstrated competence in therapeutic work, providing ongoing feedback and evaluation. Supervisors also document and discuss concerns related to potential risks and safety concerns for clients, staff, and community members. There is ongoing discussion of current care load, the work happening in each therapist’s practice, projects, as well as policies and procedures of the organization. In Addition to therapeutic practice, administrative supervision also connects to the center’s strategic plan or goals.
