Because the vast majority of supervisors provide intervention-based services, our training is customized for clinical, counselling, health and educational settings. The content is not tailored for specialist organizational, neuro or forensic psychologists. Supervisors from these practice areas will find part (but not all) of the content and activities relevant to their supervisory practice.
