Supervision in mental health is often seen as a process of oversight, professional development, and accountability. However, effective supervision also includes cultural humility, inclusion, and mentorship. This interactive workshop introduces Culturally Cognizant Supervision and Mentoring (CCSM), a framework designed to integrate diversity, equity, and inclusion into supervision relationships in a meaningful and sustainable way. Participants will engage in case studies, interactive discussions, and hands-on activities that encourage reflection on their supervision practices, exploration of implicit bias and microaggressions, and examination of intersectionality in supervision relationships. The workshop will provide practical tools for embedding culturally responsive conversations into supervision sessions and institutional policies. By the end of the session, participants will leave with a structured CCSM implementation plan to create more inclusive, intentional, and equitable supervision practices. 

This session has been approved for 2 CEUs for Social Work.
