APS Supervisor Coaching Program
Being a new APS Supervisor can be a complex, unique, and challenging experience! APSWI is excited to provide a special opportunity for new APS Supervisors to participate in a Supervisor Coaching Program designed to enhance knowledge, confidence, and develop value-based leadership skills.
First launched in 2023, APSWI’s APS Supervisor Coaching Program provides both group and individual coaching sessions and is designed to complement the APS Supervisor Core training deliveries which include core competencies 1 through 4.
Supervisors will learn new information and enhance skills in the areas of Understanding Self as Supervisor, Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (DEI), Supporting Team Building & Individual Development, and Case Consultation & Critical Thinking by completing pre-work, eLearnings, virtual instructor-led training, and participating in follow up activities.
Participants in the coaching program will have the opportunity to experience group and individual coaching that will allow them to explore and practice newly learned skills and behaviors, as well as support fellow participants in professional discovery and growth.
This program is intended for new APS Supervisors in the following Southern California counties: San Diego, Imperial, Orange, Los Angeles, Riverside, and San Bernardino.
