Thursday 17 August 11 – 12.30pm & 7 – 8.30pm (CA Supervisors, Interns and Mentors)

Topic: “When your supervisee or mentee arrives unprepared”

Presenter: Susan Marcuccio

Join us as we explore the challenge of navigating a session when the person arrives without clear direction on what to bring to the session or simply states “I have nothing to bring” or “I didn’t have time to prepare”.

How do we engage in a way that has clear boundaries but doesn’t come across as judgemental? We will be discussing trauma blocking and cognitive dissonance and the impact they have on our sessions, as well as looking at how we can respond in a way that empowers the person, keeps it safe and stays within the boundaries of supervision and mentoring.  We will also consider what to do when we feel we have to jump in and rescue a session and end up doing all the work.

Susan is an experienced Professional/Pastoral Supervisor and a Supervisor Trainer with Australasian Association of Supervision (AAOS).  Susan specializes in the provision of supervision to supervisors, pastors, leaders, chaplains and pastoral carers as well as allied health and business professionals. 

Susan is also an advocate and educator in the area of supervision with a passion to see all those in the helping professions receive quality non-judgmental confidential support, and engage in transformational learning.

Connection and Content is for CA Members only (Recognised Supervisors, Mentors and Supervision Interns) at no cost.

Topic: “Keeping the ‘professional’ in professional supervision & mentoring”

Presenter: Kristy Howarth

Join us as we have a time of connection, followed by relevant content on some of the fundamental considerations for a professional supervisor or mentor in establishing and maintaining a professional approach to their practice.

In these developing industries/fields of ministry, and in light of our ever adapting Australian society, culture and industry responsibilities, it is valuable to regularly consider and review the standards those seeking our service have come to expect from both in person and online supervision and mentoring.
