Supervision …a Team Approach
2013 series
Lisa Johnson and Shona Russell
"Sustaining ourselves in this difficult and sometimes spiritually painful work
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."
Reynolds, V (date) Doing justice as a path to sustainability in Community work (publishing details, p2
This new initiative consists of ten lively and engaging supervision sessions held over ten
months. This ongoing series is designed to enhance participant’s skill development and
competence within complex and diverse work contexts and provides an effective and
invigorating alternative to one-on-one supervision.
Sessions will be structured around participant’s shared experiences of their unique work
contexts. We will explore hard-won inspirations, and the everyday stumbles, hiccups and
dilemmas that come with putting ideas into practice. In the spirit of extending the skills of our
work the sessions may include reflections on relevant readings, transcripts and live
interviews.
Shona and Lisa bring many years of experience in counselling work and supervision which
they will draw on. These sessions will also be shaped by their shared commitment to
supervision that actively promotes a sense of solidarity within a community of learners and
practitioners as well as their long term engagement with narrative approaches in their work.
Sessions will be held at Narrative Practices Adelaide, First Floor 24 Hurtle Square, Adelaide.
