Choosing Individual, Group, and/or Peer Supervision
There are many and varied supervision formats, each with its own benefits and limitations. In order for supervision to be effective, it is necessary to take into account both the needs of the individuals and the requirements and constraints of the organization when considering the format to be offered.
Individual supervision has traditionally been the cornerstone of professional skill development and the needs of workers will not necessarily be met if this is excluded from their working lives, though this will vary depending upon workers’ individual needs. Supervision can be provided in groups, which may be facilitated or peer-led. Group and peer supervision, as well as intensive case consultation on a case-by-case basis, are useful and less costly additions to a clinical supervision plan.
That is why Bayside Counselling & Family Therapy provides several different supervision formats that are listed below, along with some of the key benefits and challenges presented by each.
