Title: Multisystemic Therapy – Breaking the Cycle

Date: March 7th, 2026

Speaker:  Corey Baker

Description:  This presentation will provide a structured, educational overview of the MST model, focusing on its theoretical foundations, core principles, and evidence base. The presentation typically explains how MST addresses complex behavioral and mental health challenges in youth by intervening across multiple systems—family, peers, school, and community. It outlines key components such as assessment, goal setting, caregiver empowerment, and fidelity to the model, while highlighting outcomes supported by research. The goal is to build understanding of MST’s framework and application rather than to train specific clinical skills.

Learning Objectives  :

Upon completion, participants will be able to:      

• Describe the theoretical foundations, evidence base, and core principles of Multisystemic Therapy.
• Identify the target population and appropriate referral criteria for MST services.
• Explain the role of the clinician within the MST model and the importance of caregiver-driven change.
• Implement MST interventions that address identified behavioral drivers
• Provide structured, data-driven supervision aligned with MST principles
• Ensure documentation, service delivery, and interventions align with MST standards

Title: Self-Care for Clinical Supervisors: Sustaining Excellence While Caring for Yourself

Date: March 21st, 2026

Speaker: Brittany Greene

Description: Self-Care for Clinical Supervisors: Sustaining Excellence While Caring for Yourself is a three-hour interactive training designed to address the hidden emotional, ethical, and professional demands of behavioral health supervision. Clinical supervisors often carry multiple roles—clinical expert, mentor, crisis manager, administrator, and gatekeeper—while absorbing the emotional weight of supervisees and their clients. Research shows that 70% of clinical supervisors experience burnout symptoms within their first two years, placing not only their own well-being but also supervisee effectiveness and client care at-risk.

This training helps supervisors recognize how chronic stress, compassion fatigue, and role overload affect their mood, decision-making, and supervisory relationships. Participants will explore the Supervision Paradox, the tendency to teach self-care while neglecting their own needs, and examine the ripple effect that supervisor burnout has on supervisees, clients, and families.

Moving beyond surface-level self-care, the training introduces professional sustainability as an ethical responsibility and clinical competency, grounded in professional codes of ethics. Using the Four Pillars of Supervisor Self-Care—physical, emotional, professional, and spiritual—participants will assess their current practices, strengthen emotional boundaries, and identify practical daily strategies that fit into real supervisory workloads.

Through case examples, guided reflection, and interactive activities, supervisors will leave with increased awareness of their stress signals, clearer emotional boundaries, and a personalized plan for sustaining excellence without sacrificing their health or professional integrity.

Learning Objectives : 

Upon completion, participants will be able to:      

• Describe the unique emotional and professional burdens of clinical supervision, including role overload, compassion fatigue, and the “supervision paradox” of caring for others while neglecting oneself.
• Identify early warning signs of supervisory burnout in themselves, including physical, emotional, behavioral, and relational stress signals.
• Explain how supervisor wellbeing impacts supervisees, clients, and systems of care, including the ripple effect of stress and emotional exhaustion.
• Differentiate between superficial self-care and professional sustainability, recognizing self-care as an ethical responsibility and component of clinical competence.
• Apply the Four Pillars of Supervisor Self-Care (physical, emotional, professional, and spiritual) to assess their current level of balance and sustainability.
• Implement practical, real-world self-care strategies—including physical micro-care, emotional boundaries, and workload systems—that fit into the realities of clinical supervision.
• Develop a personalized supervisor self-care plan by identifying which pillar needs the most attention and committing to at least one specific area for sustainable growth.

Title:  Clinical Supervision through a Values Lens: Alignment, Moral Injury, and Sustainable Practice

Date: April 11, 2026

Speaker: Jason Black

Description:  This training explores the role of values-based alignment in clinical supervision as a protective and generative factor against burnout, moral injury, and supervisory rupture. Participants will examine how clearly articulated personal, professional, and organizational values shape supervisory style, influence supervisee development, and impact retention and ethical decision-making.

Using reflective exercises and applied supervision scenarios, the training invites supervisors to identify their own core values, understand the values of their supervisees, and recognize common points of alignment and tension.

Participants will leave with practical tools to adapt supervision approaches across differing value systems, respond skillfully to value conflict, and intentionally shape supervision that supports clinician growth, organizational integrity, and sustainable clinical practice

Learning Objectives:   

Upon completion, participants will be able to:     

• Identify and articulate their own core supervisory values describe how each value explicitly informs supervisory expectations, feedback practices, and decision-making.
• Differentiate between burnout and moral injury within clinical supervision contexts and explain how values misalignment contributes to each.
• Evaluate supervisee values and developmental stage by utilizing structured reflective questioning and supervision dialogue techniques.
• Demonstrate adaptive supervisory strategies by selecting and justifying supervision approaches that align supervisor, supervisee, and organizational values while maintaining ethical standards
• Develop a values-informed supervision plan that promotes psychological safety, professional identity formation, and long-term workforce sustainability.
• Recognize and respond to values-based supervisory conflict by implementing at least one intervention strategy to address misalignment without escalation or rupture.

Title: Supervising Through a Family Lens: Supporting Caregivers of Children with IDD and Complex Needs

Date: May 9, 2026

Speaker: Amy Dickey

Description:  This 3-hour virtual training focuses on supervising professionals who support caregivers of children with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and complex needs. Grounded in lived experience and professional practice, the session will examine how supervisors and clinicians can buffer or exacerbate caregiver stress, system fragmentation, and trauma exposure.

Participants will explore the realities that caregivers face across education, behavioral health, and disability systems, and how these realities manifest in clinical work, staff burnout, and ethical dilemmas. The training emphasizes reflective, family-centered supervision that elevates caregiver voice, supports supervisee resilience, and promotes ethical, trauma-informed decision-making.

Supervisor/attendees will gain practical tools to strengthen supervision practices when working with families navigating IDD, co-occurring mental health needs, and complex service environments.

Learning Objectives    

Upon completion, participants will be able to:      

• Identify the unique stressors, systemic barriers, and trauma exposures experienced by caregivers of children with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and complex needs.
• Apply a family-centered, lived-experience–informed supervision framework to support supervisees working with caregivers across education, behavioral health, and child-serving systems.
• Differentiate between compliance-driven practice and ethical, relationship-based supervision when supporting families navigating multiple systems (e.g., schools, Medicaid, disability services).
• Integrate reflective supervision strategies that strengthen supervisee capacity, reduce burnout, and promote effective engagement with caregivers of children with complex needs.
