ANZACATA is offering subsidised fortnightly online group supervision sessions with Russya Connor for recent graduates in Australia and New Zealand. The sessions will run for 90 minutes. Recent graduates from Australia and New Zealand are invited. You must have graduated (from any ANZACATA recognised course) less than 5 years ago. The maximum number of participants is 8 members. First come, first served. The total cost for the 10 sessions is $500 (+GST if in Australia). Payment for all sessions will need to be made upfront.
The supervision sessions are specifically tailored for recent graduates, with focus on the needs, challenges and difficulties they may be facing when first entering the workplace. The aim is to support the development of a critical reflective practice as a creative arts therapist and to focus on professional growth and confidence building. In the sessions, supervisees can share clinical, creative and administrative concerns and explore possible solutions. The sessions will include practical support around aspects of session planning, collating resources to meet the needs of their clients, learning strategies to meet the demands of mainstream work environment and working with difficult client responses.
