This course focuses on the work of building and maintaining reflective alliances, using the RIOS framework and infant mental health principles as guides. We will discuss the importance of self-awareness in our interactions within reflective spaces. We will explore ways in which culture, race, privilege, racism, white supremacy, and social inequities show up in these spaces and how they influence helping relationships. The course is suitable for people who are new to providing reflective supervision, and it will also challenge seasoned providers with new ideas and perspectives.

This 24-week course is structured as six 4-week modules. Participants attend one live, two-hour Zoom meeting in every 4-week period. The instructor will schedule the meetings based on participants’ availability.
