MPS Art Therapy presents a virtual presentation by Lindsay Lederman, ATR-BC, ATCS, LCAT, LPAT (MPS 2007 Art Therapy) on how supervisory relationships are a unique and important part of training and continued ethical practice.

As supervisors, we approach the process with compassion and care, yet we are also human beings with our own life stressors. At a time when we are stretched thin, overworked and approaching (or even at) burnout, it is even more imperative to explore how we can manage these things for ourselves while continuing to provide the important supervision that our supervisees deserve. This workshop will explore how self-care practices are an important component of managing our own lives in order to maintain appropriate supervisory relationships and boundaries. Caring for others includes caring for ourselves, it is in fact, essential.

Learning Objectives:

1.) Participants will learn how and why supervision is an essential part of ethical clinical care.

2.) Participants will understand one model of ethical decision making.

3.) Participants will describe at least one self-care practice that supports their ability to be present in their clinical work.
