“Am I going in the right direction with this client?” “Do I have a solid understanding of this treatment modality” “What do I do in this situation”. These are common questions that clinicians will have and if we don’t have a place to get them answered it is easy to get stuck. That’s where supervision comes in. This week Ray and Paul talk about how supervision is more than just a requirement for grad school, it is a support system that allows clinicians to grow and develop in their insight into mental health work and helps insure that they are doing right by those they work with.

Racism Related Stress can play a significant role in the lives of BIPOC, and can be a key factor in making or breaking successful treatment outcomes. But, how can we as clinicians help support the individuals struggling with this?

Ryan describes how his REACH UP model helps give clinicians an orientation to life that helps support and empower their BIPOC clients who are impacted by Racism Related Stress.

Therapy is a great space to develop skills and challenge mindsets… so we’re good to stop there, right? If only. This week Ray and Paul discuss the very important step that comes after skill development: Generalizing. They discuss their processes for helping clients take what’s being worked on in the therapy office and applying it into everyday life with diverse environments- to make the biggest difference.

What if we told you there is a population that makes up roughly 16-20% of students, and it’s one that we don’t acknowledge or provide adequate support for. These children are ones who fall into the gap between normative academic achievement and meeting requirements for special needs support. This week Ray and Paul have the pleasure of talking with Dr. Steven Shaw on this topic and reviewing his new book: Reaching and Teaching Students Who Don’t Qualify For Special Education, Strategies For The Inclusive Education Of Diverse Learners. With the plethora of valuable information, we were only able to discuss two of his chapters on Executive Functioning and Academic Motivation. We hope that you take away as much as we did in this Masters in Practice episode: Supporting Children with Low Academic Achievement with Dr. Steven Shaw. To hear more and stay up to date with Paul Wagner, MS, LPC and Ray Christner, Psy.D., NCSP, ABPP visit our website at: http://www.psychedtopractice.com Please follow the link below to access all of our hosting sites. https://www.buzzsprout.com/2007098/share “Be well, and stay psyched” #mentalhealth #podcast #psychology #psychedtopractice #counseling #socialwork #MentalHealthAwareness #ClinicalPractice #mentalhealth #podcast
