Abstract:
Professional supervision is increasingly recognised as being a core contributor to the sustainability of resilience and sound coping strategies for professionals within the human services. Resilient practitioners contribute to the overall health and wellbeing of both the organisations and the people with whom they work. This paper uses an applied lens that defines resiliency as both an individual and an environmental issue and extracts key principles of relevance to the professional supervision process and environment. In so doing, key questions concerning supervision's role, process and setting are raised for discussion.
