Grounded in CRPO supervision competencies, the course focuses on the real ethical, relational, and practical challenges supervisors face, including power dynamics, cultural responsibility, burnout, and reflective practice.
You will leave with a flexible supervision framework, concrete tools, and greater confidence in your role.
