It provides an opportunity for practitioners to ask questions, gain a wider understanding of the intricacies and laws around working with separated families and overall provide better outcomes for clients.
Working with children, adults and families as they navigate difficult emotions is just one of the many facets of our role as mental health professionals.
Nothing is straightforward. What may initially present as manageable can unexpectedly evolve into something far more complex. Being able to unpack and explore complex cases with an independent supervisor is vital.
It is not uncommon for helping professionals to work with individuals who are experiencing difficult and often traumatic family breakdowns. This may involve family violence and trauma, unhealthy attachment related patterns, unstable mental health and personality vulnerabilities. Understanding these complexities and how they impact day to day functioning for our clients is important.
Supervision allows mental health professionals the chance to analyse and implement psychological principles and practices and improve performance.
