Supervision for New Mental Health Professionals
Supervision for new mental health professionals constitutes a significant pillar in the development of professional identity and the maintenance of professional ethics. The aim of supervision is to provide comprehensive support to new mental health professionals seeking guidance, skill development, and enrichment of their clinical practice. Supervision is conducted either in person or (online) via platforms such as Zoom or Skype.
