Companion Slides

Reflective (not just administrative) supervision and structured peer support groups.

Key Concepts

  • Reflective supervision: processing the emotional weight of the work
  • Administrative supervision alone is not enough
  • Structured peer support groups: regular, boundaried, facilitated
  • Normalizing vulnerability among colleagues
  • The leader's role: modeling self-care, not just mandating it
