The counselor education and supervision field strives to incorporate culturally responsiveness into all aspects of training, including supervision. This is especially important for supervisees of color who can face challenges at their internships. Unfortunately, not all supervisors understand the unique challenges faced by these students and therefore may not know how to support them. This interactive program discusses an innovative approach to supervision by making culture explicit, and a keystone of the supervisory process. It describes how supervisors can facilitate supervisee development by exploring challenges within a cultural context. Participants will engage in activities and discussions about culturally responsive supervision strategies that can promote the growth of supervisees of color. Training implications will be discussed.
