What makes a truly GREAT supervisor? Most of us have worked on the frontlines - and let's be honest, we've all heard (or participated in) a lunchtime rant about "that supervisor."

You'll learn how to manage stress, make tough decisions look easy, and become the kind of leader who earns trust and respect - and avoids being the subject of breakroom gossip.

This course is applicable for practitioners of all levels, as well as prevention professionals. Course content applies to various client populations (i.e., addiction, mental health, etc.) and is relevant for services provided in a variety of settings (clinics, shelters, jails, etc.).
