Overview:
For those under supervision and those doing supervision, distance supervision of play therapy can present unique challenges. However, when guidelines for tele-mental health and distance supervision are incorporated into routine supervision, potential ethical dilemmas, practice issues, and supervision conundrums can be mitigated. This workshop offers guidelines for consideration when supervising through distance supervision.
Objectives:
- Examine best practice guidelines for distance supervision of play therapy
- Identify supervisee and supervisor responsibilities when engaging in distance play therapy supervision
- Recognize applicable ethical codes for conducting distance play therapy supervision
