    An introduction to our

    Reflective Supervision Groups

    Reflective/clinical supervision offers a structured, reflective and strength based space where professionals can debrief, explore ethical complexities, strengthen self-awareness, and enhance resilience. While clinical supervision is well-established in many therapeutic professions as a form of continuing professional development, it holds valuable potential for all professionals working with parents who receive a fetal anomaly diagnosis. 

    Our group is a closed group, meaning there will be a consistent 6 - 8 health and allied health professionals who commit to five monthly meetings on Zoom.
