Webinar: Supervision and Self-care for Youth Peer Support Specialists

Youth peer support is a growing field in many mental health and child-serving systems, yet many agencies are new to supervising and supporting these roles. This line of work can often be taxing for its young employees, and self-care is just as important to supervision as job performance. During the webinar "Supervision and Self-care for Youth Peer Support Specialists," youth peer experts Caitlin Baird and Mary Beth Welch will talk about specific strategies supervisors can use to promote self-care amongst their youth peer staff while ensuring accountability to their job duties.
