Description

When we move into supervision roles, we often find ourselves having change conversations – only this time with staff rather than clients, and often in a context of line management or other accountability tasks.

This 2-day workshop examines how MI can be helpful in the context of providing professional supervision, while respecting that there are other skills and functions of a supervisory role. The workshop also offers practical strategies to support and coach supervisees to learn MI skills for use in their own practice, even if we feel we are still working on our own MI skills.

The training is highly interactive, with a focus on practical skill development. The two-day workshop will offer an opportunity to:

• Review experiences and progress in integrating MI into one’s own practice
• Review challenges and experiences in coaching others in MI
• Identify the core learning tasks in MI and incorporate a progressive skill development approach to learning MI
• Examine the MI framework from the perspective of the supervisor
• Develop strategies for using MI approaches within the supervision context
• Develop strategies to coach MI self-monitoring and skill development in supervisees
• Introduction to MI coding as a tool for supervisors
• Provide feedback in an MI consistent manner.

Participants will be invited to join a series of 90 min coaching sessions to troubleshoot and deepen the content from the MI for Supervisors. Being a supervisor can feel isolating – no one else holds a similar role in an organisation, even if there are similar positions or other departments. This workshop aims to help supervisors build their network and support systems with colleagues in similar roles. The sessions will provide an opportunity to reflect, address key challenges, and build capacity across the AOD sector.
