2026-2027 | Reflective Supervision/Consultation Learning Collaborative (22 Apr 2027)

Thu, 22 Apr 2027 13:00:00 GMT

The North Carolina Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health Association (NCIMHA) recognizes that the infant and early childhood workforce thrives when given opportunities to reflect on their work. Reflective supervision/consultation (RSC) provides a vital space for professionals to process their experiences, deepen their skills, and reduce work-related stress that can lead to burnout. Growing evidence supports that RSC enhances professional capacity, encourages self-awareness, and promotes overall workforce well-being.

In response to the growing demand for qualified RSC providers, NCIMHA is proud to host the 2026–2027 Reflective Supervision/Consultation Learning Collaborative. This initiative is designed to support North Carolina professionals in building their skills and capacity to offer reflective supervision or consultation within their organizations and roles.

Participants will attend six training sessions (24 hours total), focusing on key topics such as building new relationships, reflective supervision frameworks, understanding power dynamics, self-awareness, navigating rupture and repair, navigating groups, transitions, and goodbyes. In addition, participants will engage in virtual group reflective consultation monthly.

Training Schedule

October 22-23, 2026 | Two full in-person training days at the Museum of Life and Science, Durham, NC
April 22-23, 2026 | Two half-day virtual trainings (9:00 AM–12:00 or 1:00PM via Zoom)
