Ethical concerns in supervision rarely begin with clear violations. More often, they emerge as discomfort, uncertainty, value conflict, emotional reactivity, or subtle boundary drift. Supervisors are ethically responsible for recognizing these early warning signs and using supervision intentionally to support accountability, client welfare, and professional development.
This experiential training is designed to help supervisors move beyond policy-only ethics discussions and into practical, reflective supervision practices. Participants will learn how to integrate ethics into supervision through structured, experiential directives that support self-awareness, ethical decision-making, and early intervention.
Using Brave Play–informed supervision directives, participants will explore how personal values, cultural beliefs, emotional triggers, and internal assumptions influence ethical risk. The training emphasizes using supervision as an ethical safeguard while remaining grounded in the ACA Code of Ethics and professional standards.
This training includes concrete supervision tools, directive demonstrations, reflection opportunities, and practical strategies supervisors can apply immediately in individual or group supervision settings.
