  South Carolina Infant Mental Health Association's RS Study Group is a professional development opportunity open to all SCIMHA members, and is a best fit for current Supervisors interested in growing their Reflective Supervision capacity.
  

  SCIMHA's study group is an interactive experience that works best when all attendees actively participate. We will join together in a reflective space and will focus on how our work and life experiences relate to the information shared in the professional development offering. 

  SCIMHA's study group will meet to review this reading:

  Supervisory Dilemma #12 from:

  Heffron & Murch (2010), Reflective Supervision & Leadership in Infant and Early Childhood Programs, ZERO TO THREE, Washington D.C.

  This study group session will be facilitated by Kristyn Driver, LISW-CP, IMH-E®, SCIMHA's Reflective Supervision Program Manager and Megan Smith, MT-BC, LCAT, IMH-E®, SCIMHA's IECMH Training and Reflective Supervision Specialist. 

  
  

  Participating in Study Group:

  1. Please read the dilemma and consider the reflective questions prior to the study group gathering.

  2. Turn your microphone and video camera on for the best interactive discussion experience. 

  Time spent in this event meets competencies and Training requirements associated with SCIMHA’s infant and early childhood mental health endorsement. It does not meet RS hour requirements. The endorsement is a credentialing process that supports and recognizes the professional development of those who work with or on behalf of infants, toddlers, young children, and their families and caregivers. If you have any questions, please contact the Endorsement Coordinator at endorsement@scimha.org.
