Advancing antiracist supervision

Adopting a critical events supervision framework to advance antiracist supervision offers valuable experience-near guidance and leverages supervisors' existing skillset with a particular attention paid to interpersonal sensitivity. By addressing challenges and opportunities as they arise within critical events, supervisors can create a more safe, responsive and antiracist supervisory environment for supervisees when racial dynamics are broached in the discussion. Supervisors must first, however, progress in their own racial identity development and racial consciousness in order to lead, rather than follow or perpetrate harm, within supervisory settings.
