Supervision that strengthens the whole team
Youth work is emotionally, ethically and organisationally complex. Group supervision gives your team a facilitated space to work through it together. It’s professional development for your whole service, not just a wellbeing measure. Our guide to supervision in youth work explains how group and individual supervision fit together.
Shared practice
Work through challenging cases and ethical dilemmas together, so the whole team learns from each one.
A stronger team
Better communication and cohesion, and a consistent culture of accountability and care.
Staying well
A safe space to manage stress and prevent burnout before it costs you staff.
On-site, online or themed

Wellbeing staff who need supervisors who know adolescents, schools and the policies that govern them.

Frequently asked questions about group supervision
How many people can be in a group?
Groups run with up to 12 people, so everyone has time to contribute.
What gets reported back to management?
We report on the education content covered and the general topics raised, never on what any individual said. That keeps the group a safe place to be honest.
Do you come to us?
Yes. We run on-site groups anywhere in Australia, with travel costs quoted for your location. Online groups are also available.
How much does group supervision cost?
Pricing depends on group size and how often you meet. Talk to us about your team and we’ll send you a quote.
