Description

Building Capacity for Reflective Supervision in Maternal and Early Childhood Home Visiting: A Model for Statewide Training and Support

This presentation highlights the critical role of reflective supervision (RS) in supporting professionals in Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health (IECMH) and Home Visiting (HV). Studies suggest that RS increases reflective capacity, reduces burnout, and mitigates the negative impacts of stress. While RS is a requirement of many IECMH and HV programs, implementation varies and few empirical studies examine the implementation and training of RS practitioners. This project addresses the inconsistent implementation of RS in the interdisciplinary fields of IECMH and HV, which include social workers, nurses, and early childhood educators, among other professionals. A systematic review of the literature will demonstrate the current state of RS, including the lack of consensus on its definition, the positive outcomes for well-being and reflective capacity, the need for ongoing training, and the barriers to implementation such as lack of time and resources. A conceptual proposal, informed by attachment theory and experiential learning will be used to present a framework for the implementation of training and support of RS to a statewide audience for the provision of efficient and competent RS across IECMH and HV programs. Finally, a toolkit designed to facilitate the practical implementation of training and support of RS will be explained and reviewed.

Learning Objectives:

Upon completion of this conference, participants will be able to:

  1. Understand the current state of research on reflective supervision (RS) within Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health (IECMH), home visiting (HV), and social work, including its key components, measurement tools, and implementation strategies.
  2. Learn how attachment theory and experiential learning can inform the training and implementation of RS in IECMH and HV.
  3. Describe 3-5 components of an efficient model for implementation of RS training and support.
