Training to Competence, not Compliance: Feedback in Clinical Training

April 17, 2026

Most mental health trainers and supervisors are not trained beyond a cursory course on supervision theory, often leading them to focus more on stylistic preferences than on objective competencies when providing feedback to trainees. This live, virtual activity highlights how structured feedback tools and systems, such as competency-based supervision, can clarify what competencies look like in practice and increase the fidelity of feedback.
