Supervision Taster Day
Supervision is exactly what it says, its a bigger vision of professional practice, training needs, organisational development and professional development. This taster will seek to introduce and inspire those of you that have a compassionate curiosity for those involved in the helping professions. This is a stand-alone seminar but is also a good introduction to what the longer training can offer. Read more...
