TRAINING DESCRIPTION: We are pleased to announce a unique and intense virtual training experience in reflective supervision designed for licensed supervisors who provide supervision to clinicians working with children ages 0-5. The course begins with an 11-hour didactic training (held over 2 days) that includes experiential components (e.g. role plays; reflections; discussion of videotaped demonstrations by experienced reflective practice facilitators). Following the didactic training, participants will attend small groups (maximum of 8 per group) in which they will meet for 2 hours per group session with a Reflective Practice Mentor to practice providing reflective supervision and to discuss their experiences providing reflective supervision at their agency. The groups will meet twice per month for four months (total of 16 hours). This training meets some of the requirements for endorsement as a Reflective Practice Facilitator II with the California Center for Infant & Early Childhood Mental Health. (see http://www.cacenter-ecmh.org/ for more details about the endorsement process). Free to Riverside County 0-5 Providers (Funded by RUHS-BH Growing Healthy Minds & First 5 Riverside)
