About this Webinar
Group supervision offers significant benefits but requires specialized training due to its complexity. However, there is limited research on group supervision training development or evaluation. We will describe the collaborative development of a pilot group supervision training program specifically designed to build capacity for 31 team leads in a Canadian community-based mental health and addiction organization. We will provide a brief overview of the pre-post survey research design with three-month follow-up focus group and the Kirkpatrick four-layer model of training evaluation. We will share preliminary training results, which indicated high satisfaction with content/structure, learning of new knowledge/skills, some transfer of learning into practice, positive impact on group facilitation, and multiple organizational challenges. There will be time for discussion of practice and research implications and questions.
