Friday afternoons at Dulwich Centre Justice doing in community work & therapy: from ‘burnout’ to solidarityVideo of talk posted November 29, 2012 Adler School of Professional Psychology VancouverThe First Annual Adler School ‘Supervisor Appreciation Day
Thursday, October 25, 2012 A Supervision of Solidarity: Creating a Culture of Critique and Structuring SafetyIn this experiential workshop we will consider how to promote dignifying and generative supervision groups for practicum students at the Masters’ level. We will deconstruct some “case consultation” norms that don’t serve clients or therapists, and consider what a culture of critique that is generative, expansive, connected and dignified might offer. We will engage in practices for structuring safety that provide the scaffold for expansive critique, as well as practices that situate all group supervisees at the ethical centre, as opposed to ‘taking turns presenting cases’. A Supervision of Solidarity is informed by a spirit of solidarity and social justice activism. The ethics from which the supervision practices emerge comprise an ethical stance for justice-doing in community work which encompasses centering ethics, doing solidarity, addressing power, fostering collective sustainability, critically engaging with language, and structuring safety. Justice Doing opens our work to transformations for ourselves, the people we work alongside and our communities and society, and offers the potential for experiencing the social divine.

A Supervision of Solidarity is informed by a spirit of solidarity and social justice activism. I created Solidarity Groups as a response to supervising therapists who work alongside clients who are victims and survivors of torture, political and interpersonal violence, sexualized exploitation, extreme poverty, and other attacks on the safety of their lives and dignity of their identities.
- How can we hold onto a sense of aliveness and engage a spirit of solidarity within contexts of social injustice and marginalization?
- How can we do this difficult work in ways that are congruent with collective ethics and how can we all experience sustainability and transformation collectively across time?
The ethics of Justice-doing that inform Solidarity Groups include:
- centering ethics,
- doing solidarity
- addressing power
- fostering collective sustainability
- critically engaging with language
- structuring safety
In this workshop I’ll lay out these ethics and we’ll engage in the practice of a Solidarity Group, then critique the practice with a hopeful skepticism to see if the ethics are enacted. It will be helpful to read A Supervision of Solidarity (2010), and Supervision of Solidarity Practices: Solidarity Teams & People-ing-the-room (2011).
