This training presents an overview and conceptual framework for the 15-hour Core course component of MaMHCA’s Supervision Training Program. It is intended for experienced clinicians who wish to become trained supervisors.

The quality of the supervisory relationship is critical to the supervisee’s successful development as a counselor.
