What is Clinical Supervision?
Is a type of coaching between health & human services professionals to reflect, learn and build their skills and practice. It occurs between a more experienced practitioner ion the field they want supervision in, and a practitioner who is seeking to learn skills from that clinician. It is similar to mentoring or coaching but is specific to building and continuing one's professional reflective practice.
