The Narrative Therapy Centre - Narrative Practices Adelaide
The Narrative Therapy Centre Workshop on Supervision - 2 day intensive - May 7 & 8, 2015 “Exploring narrative approaches to supervision – thinking together in relationship in ways that re-invigorate professional identity.” Presented by Shona Russell - Narrative Practices Adelaide Shona Russell has been exploring narrative practices in her work as a supervisor for many years both as an external consultant to organizations and with practitioners who have a specific interest in narrative therapy. She has a particular interest in supervision where workers experience significant distress in relation to their work which has led her to engage with ways we can sustain ourselves in work that can be difficult and complex. Shona will draw on the work of Vikki Reynolds to consider what “becomes more possible when we are able to work in accord with our ethics, embrace a spirit of solidarity, and see our collective work as doing justice”. Shona will offer opportunities to explore and develop our thinking and skills in professional supervision. Shona is a qualified teacher and has a Masters in Cultural Psychologies. Her workshops are both enjoyable and stimulating. Her ideas on supervision are applicable to any person centred or strengths based approaches. This workshop will benefit supervisee’s who wonder how supervision can be useful to their work and supervisors who want to support to those who consult them. Certificates will be provided on completion.

The focus of this workshop is to explore a range of practices that contribute to a reinvigoration of professional identity (White, M. Re- Authoring Lives) respectful ways of exploring complex concerns and challenges, and enlivening ways of creating an audience for the work people do. Examples of work will be shared, and participants will have opportunity to further develop skills related to effective supervision. Shona has been teaching about narrative approaches to supervision within Australia and internationally for many years and she will embrace the learnings from these workers in this workshop. There will be a specific focus on supervisory conversations with workers responding to violence, abuse and trauma in the context of injustice. The following specific themes and practices will be explored: What is supervision? Negotiating supervision – how can a context of negotiation about what supervision is be created and a context where practitioners think together in relationship be formed? What to focus on in supervision The position we take as supervisors Stories workers have of themselves and practices that re- invigorate professional identity Re-storying professional identity through keeping faith with what is given value The role of externalizing conversations in interrupting internalized accounts of professional identity The rites of passage metaphor as it relates to professional Alternative proposals for responding to worker distress, fatigue and exhaustion – pain as testimony – distress as tribute Creating audiences for re- storying professional identity Documents of identity – scaffolding skills and knowledges Whether you are an experienced supervisor, new to supervision or interested in furthering your understanding of narrative approaches to supervision there will be something of interest for you!
