Clinical Circles: Supervision & Support for School Counselors
Experience Clinical Support in a Community of Peers
Independent school counselors often navigate complex, high-acuity student mental health cases while balancing the needs of families, faculty, and administrators. This immersive, skills-based workshop provides a structured and supportive space for counselors to experience clinical supervision in real-time, explore evidence-based supervision models, and build a network of peers for ongoing professional support.
Through guided case consultations and reflective supervision exercises, participants will:
Engage in experiential learning – Receive and provide peer consultation using structured supervision models.
Explore advanced clinical supervision frameworks – Strengthen case conceptualization and intervention planning.
Build a sustainable professional network – Develop lasting connections with colleagues in the independent school counseling community.
Learn practical strategies for managing high-acuity cases – Gain tools for navigating complex student, family, and school dynamics.
Prevent burnout and enhance resilience – Identify and implement self-supervision and self-care strategies.
