Please join Harlene & International Colleagues -- Refresh your Supervisor Skills "on the beach."
Course appropriate for those wanting the AAFMT Refresher Course Certificate and for those who simply want to refresh.

The Refresher Course is offered in response to the growing number of supervisors who want to study in a residential setting and want more than the usual one-day refresher course--to refresh their approach to supervision and other learning activities and to learn about supervising, teaching and training from a postmodern collaborative perspective. The aim of the Course is to provide participants with an engagning experience in theory and practice of creating learning environments, relationships and processes that are collaborative and generative--all in a beautiful and relaxing beach setting. The course is designed for experienced, new and potential supervisors, teachers and trainers in various agency, university, community and private contexts.

Faculty: Harlene Anderson, Ph.D. AAMFT/TXLMFT/TXLPC Approved Supervisor.

Purpose: The course provides a forum for supervisors to enhance their supervision knowledge and skills and to become familiar with current supervision practices, research, and literature. It is designed to meet the requirements of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT) refresher course requirements. The course may be used for continuing education hours.

Focus: The course focuses on practical/clinical, theoretical, legal, ethical, professional, research, and relationship issues related to supervision and supervision mentoring. There is an emphasis on supervision from a postmodern collaborative perspective--drawing on the metaphors of social construction and narrative theories-- within the broader context and history of systemic/family therapy theories.

Format: A dynamic and intensive didactic and interactive experience based in a collaborative learning community philosophy will provide participants opportunities to meet the learning objective and to network with other supervisors. The format will include didactic, videotape, consultation, and observation of supervision, reflecting processes, experiential exercises, literature review, and discussions. Certificate of Completion: A certificate of completion will be provided by the Houston Galveston Institute. A bilingual event. 5 Continuing Education Hours including 1 hour of Ethics.

Fee: Complimentary if attending the ISI; $125 if not attending the ISI.
