Piloting Practice Supervision for Government Cadre Counselors – Volume 2
Supervision of one’s practice is key for counselors seeing clients in many countries around the world. For Sri Lankan government counselors introduced into cadre positions by the Mental Health Policy of 2005-2015, however, this was not the case. In 2015, through a collaboration of The Asia Foundation and government ministries, peer support was introduced to government counselors attached to Social Services and Women’s Affairs for the first time. A 2017 mapping study revealed government counselors need expert supervision to guide them in their practice. This publication is a collection of process papers describing the implementation of the program from the program staff perspective, practice supervisor perspective, and an evaluation of how practice supervision impacted their practice from the counselor’s perspective. This is the 2nd volume of this publication and contains 11 papers.
