Authentically Me: Acknowledging Identity in Clinical Supervision Relationships

Culturally-responsive practice does not begin with client care, but rather extends to each of our interactions within a professional space. Given the way that our intersecting identities shape the way we show up in the world - including within our clinical supervision relationships – it is imperative that we as supervisors dive deeply into aspects of our own identities as we engage in clinical supervision activities. In this workshop, we will explore aspects of identity and positionality in relation to power, and apply this lens to our relationships with student mentees. Using our personal exploration of self and related concepts, this workshop aims to provide the attendee with a lens for working across lines of difference, increase capacity for integrating student identity into the clinical supervision relationship, and explore strategies for mitigating conflict by acknowledging individual experience.

Practical Tools for Ethical Counseling with Diverse Population

Counseling within the context of communication disorders is consistently part of our practice, regardless of the setting. During this presentation, we will examine the implications and intersectionality of counseling diverse populations, including bi/multi-lingual, LGBTQIA+, low socioeconomic status, and immigrant clients and families. This course will provide a broad overview of how to counsel ethically, including limits, strategies, and resources for further learning.
