If a program is providing the type of clinical supervision we're talking about, it's got to impact patient care in a positive way.
Imagine you're a counselor working tirelessly to help individuals overcome addiction. Now, picture having a mentor who guides you, offers fresh perspectives, and helps you grow professionally. That's the essence of clinical supervision, a topic Mary Woods and Thomas Durham, PhD, dive into in this episode of 'One Hour at a Time'. Thomas Durham, the Executive Director of The Danya Institute, shares his wealth of experience managing clinical supervision programs, including one for the U.S. Navy's alcohol and drug counselors.
He discusses how effective supervision can transform the treatment landscape, even amid funding shortages and high staff turnover. Durham highlights the importance of building collaborative relationships between supervisors and counselors. He believes these relationships can challenge outdated beliefs about addiction treatment and encourage innovative approaches. Group supervision, he notes, can be particularly beneficial by providing multiple viewpoints and fostering professional growth.
This episode isn't just for professionals; it's for anyone interested in understanding the critical role of clinical supervision in improving patient outcomes and supporting those on the front lines of addiction treatment. Whether you're a counselor, a patient, or someone with a loved one in recovery, you'll find valuable insights and practical advice here.
