Prevention Supervision Collab: Consulting 101

The Prevention Supervision Collaborative is a virtual group that will help to improve your prevention supervision skills, build new skills, and create a stronger network of prevention professionals. This group will meet on the first Friday of every month  from 9am-10:30am, each week being a different topic. We will spend 1.5 hours together, leaving the last 30 minutes to focus on group discussion. With that being said, 1 hour of CEUs will be offered in PS1: Personnel Supervision & Program Management as well as PS2: Administration & Consultation. 

In order to attend: 

• You must have your OCPS, OCPC, or CHES
• You must be currently providing prevention supervision, or plan to within the next 6 months
