About Reflective Practice
Reflective Practice is a space to establish a relationship between a supervisor and group of supervisee’s. This space allows participants to reflect on ways their own beliefs, life experiences and values impact their work.
Benefits of Reflective Practice
Reflective groups offer space to slow down and explore multiple perspectives. Professionals who participate in reflective groups report feeling protected against burnout and have a renewed passion for their work.
Essential Elements of Reflective Practice vs Supervision vs Consultation
Reflective Practice is a way of being.
Reflective Practice Spaces are informal, drop-in.
Reflective Supervision is someone inside your agency.
Reflective Consultation is someone outside your agency.
Building Reflective Practice through Reflective Supervision
Reflect on your supervision/consultation session to enhance professional practice and personal growth.
Reflective practice recognizes that the work we do with families is relational.
By gaining and practicing reflective skills, professionals carry forth these qualities with families - using the relationship to bring out the family’s strengths and resiliency.
Likewise, when supervisors or leaders practice reflectively this “way of being” contributes to a healthier, more supportive environment where staff can grow and develop.
