Supervisors play a critical role in creating supportive, growth-oriented environments for staff working in domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking organizations. Living Our Values: Supervision and Feedback is a self-paced online course designed to introduce the fundamentals of supportive supervision.
Participants will learn strategies to lead with empathy, authenticity, and a commitment to shared values, acting as advocates for staff, investing in their professional development and sustainability, and serving as a resource as they navigate the challenges of supporting survivors. Supportive supervision and professional growth strengthen staff capacity to prevent and respond to domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking.
