This experiential certificate course is offered through CityU Canada’s continuing education programs and will help participants:consider how to promote dignifying and generative supervision groups for therapy and community work
- deconstruct “case consultation” norms that don’t serve clients or practitioners, and consider what a “Culture of Critique” that is generative, expansive, connected and dignified might offer.
- consider practices of structuring safety and creating relationships of respect and dignity which can promote a culture of accountability that generates useful and rich critique.
- share some exercises for creating intentional supervisory relation-ships.
- create cultures of accountability that invite critique that are a resistance against surveillance practices of supervision
- practice examples of “Living Supervision”, and creating “Solidarity Teams” to assist practitioners to work in alignment with our collective ethics
For those who are providing supervision to counsellors or community service workers or for those with limited experience in the counselling supervision field and seeking an increased understanding of group supervi-sion practices.
All proceeds from this Certificate Course provide funding for CityU’s Community Counselling Clinics in Vancouver and Vancouver Island. In partnership with not-for-profit social service agencies, the CityU Community Counselling Clinics provide no fee, low barrier counselling services to those in need.

This workshop presents an alternative ‘trauma’ approach to work with people who have experienced oppression and violence, from a decolonizing anti-oppression stance, which focuses on the resistance of victims of violence and oppression. Resisting the neutral and medicalized language of psychology, we will name systemic contexts of social injustice that are often hidden in individualized psychology talk. Honouring the wisdom of the people we work alongside in their responses to oppression, exploitation and violence brings forward their agency and wisdom. Locating sites of resistance, and witnessing the resistance capacities of the people we work alongside, can create identities of knowledge, autonomy and strength, as opposed to victim/survivor identities, or other spoiled identities. We will also address our duty as witnesses to resist the politics of professional objectivity and neutrality, and use our access to power to work towards a just society, and to change the social contexts in which these horrors occur.
