Event Outline:
This workshop aims to introduce the topic of supervision for therapists working with different cohorts of clients who are displaced in the domestic and international context (homelessness, migration, addiction and chronic mental health). Anecdotally, greater numbers of this population (asylum seeker/refugees) are being referred to primary care – and each other those therapists also have supervisors. Often these nuanced issues are not covered in initial Supervisor training leaving Supervisors "displaced".
The main objectives will include the following:
To introduce a strengths-based trauma informed approach, using a Reflective Learning model of supervision (Davys and Beddoe, 2010).
To briefly explore the principles of Psychological First Aid in mental health care in humanitarian crises such as displacement
