Our Mission
Clinical supervision, a hallmark educational practice of mental health professions, involves a collaborative relationship between a more senior member of a profession and a supervisee to foster the supervisee’s competence and professional independence. Our mission is to support the unique needs of clinical supervisors in the field of psycho-oncology with an emphasis on psychotherapy training. We aim to:
- Support program development, promote research, and provide resources related to evidence-based supervisory practices,
- Cultivate a compassionate community within the field of psycho-oncology to evaluate how we meet the needs of trainees and supervisors, and
- Host lectures, workshops, and opportunities for clinical consultation related to supervision in psychooncology.
