Maintaining competence to successfully supervise the next generation of MFTs is critical for the field of systemic family therapy. AAMFT Approved Supervisors ensure that supervisees have access to the latest innovations by providing their supervisees with inspiring, supportive, and nurturing learning experiences. In this highly interactive institute participants, will explore the practical, legal, and ethical issues that arise in diverse contexts; examine the role of cultural humility in supervision and therapy; and consider different modalities for effective supervision. This institute will utilize varied instructional strategies to create an engaging and informative learning experience. Presenters will focus on current resources available to supervisors and review the important features of supervision contracts. The attendees will also have an opportunity to discuss current AAMFT Approved Supervisor requirements. Completion of this institute satisfies the refresher course requirement for the AAMFT Approved Supervisor designation renewal.
