You’re already working in a mental health support team making a real difference to children and young people. And if your manager has told you that you’re ready for a role as a supervisor then this course is for you.
So what will your training involve? Here at Edge Hill, we’ll help you boost your expertise in clinical supervision. You’ll learn what it takes to apply a whole school approach to boost mental health and wellbeing, whilst supporting Educational Mental Health Practitioners with this initiative. You have to be trained in therapy to be be able to supervise others.
