Description
Often times, those who provide services to infants, young children, and families are exposed to a variety of stressors, difficult circumstances, and traumatic experiences. Consequently, these service providers can experience a variety of reactions in their work, including the experience of vicarious trauma. Certainly, it is important for service providers to be clinically competent and to meet administrative requirements under these circumstances. Nonetheless, it also is important for service providers to receive reflective supervision. Reflective supervision is a supervisory approach that emphasizes relationships. The relationship between the supervisor and the supervisee as well as between the supervisee and the individual(s) being served (and sometimes even relationships with larger systems) are considered carefully in the context of the work being done. In fact, these relationships often are viewed as the medium through which insights are fostered and changes can be made.
