Clinical Support and Supervision
The Clinical Support and Supervision team at AMSANT is made up of Robert Randall and Sarah Haythornthwaite. Between them, they have a wealth of experience supporting the SEWB and mental health of communities and individuals across the NT. The team understands the importance of cultural and trauma informed support for those living and working within NT communities.
The support and supervision offered through AMSANT represents an alliance between staff and SEWB workers to enhance SEWB work practices and meet ethical and professional standards, while providing support and encouragement to professional practice.
Clinical Supervision is about taking the opportunity to talk with an experienced SEWB professional to discuss client and community work, reflect upon practices, and devise strategies to enhance outcomes for clients and communities. It is about feeling listened to and supported as a SEWB worker, in what is often a difficult role.
Supervision can be conducted one-on-one or in a group setting. One-on-one supervision provides a safe, private space to talk about personal work experiences, reflections, challenges and goals. Group supervision provides a forum to identify common themes, team considerations, shared experiences and strategies with colleagues and team members.
As Robert explains: “The SEWB model of care involves mutual respect, culturally informed responses and flexibility in bringing out problems that workers have, and in finding the solutions that are needed”.
