Format: Live Virtual Training
CEs: 3 Category I Supervision CEs

Today's supervisors and leaders face increasing challenges as they support teams navigating high workloads, secondary trauma, compassion fatigue, and ongoing organizational stress. Effective supervision requires more than oversight—it requires creating environments where staff feel supported, valued, and equipped to thrive.

Join us for this engaging training designed to help supervisors strengthen their leadership through a trauma-informed lens. Participants will explore practical strategies for recognizing burnout, fostering psychological safety, supporting staff well-being, and building resilient teams while maintaining accountability and professional standards.

Through discussion, reflection, and real-world application, attendees will gain tools to strengthen supervisory relationships, promote staff retention, and cultivate a healthier workplace culture.

What You'll Learn:

• Define trauma-informed supervision and its role in preventing burnout and promoting staff well-being
• Recognize signs of secondary traumatic stress, compassion fatigue, and vicarious trauma within teams
• Apply trauma-informed principles including safety, trust, collaboration, empowerment, and cultural awareness to supervision practices
• Implement reflective supervision techniques that encourage resilience, professional growth, and open communication
• Develop organizational strategies that support wellness, retention, and long-term workforce sustainability
