Texas Supervision Symposium
Save the Date!
Friday June 27th, 2025 9:30am-4:30pm
The symposium is open to anyone involved in supervision or formation of trainees at a university or college counseling center in Texas. This includes all licensed mental health professionals, as well as doctoral interns or other trainees who supervise. The TSS offers 5 hours of continuing education credit for licensed mental health providers.
Theme: Embracing the Tensions
As trainers, we often hold many tensions. Whether dealing with political events that affect us and our trainees, forging connections across all kinds of differences, or navigating differing opinions of trainee performance, the strains are real. How can we embrace these tensions and work towards healthier relationships, trainees, staff, and trainers?
