Description

The development of the Carer Perspective Supervision (CPS) Training was a carer-led, co-produced project supported and funded through a partnership with North-Western Mental Health and the Department of Health Victoria.

The training development was facilitated by North-Western Mental Health through a co-design group and handed over to the Tandem/CLEW partnership for delivery as part of the Lived and Living Experience Workforce development program.

The training has been created to assist those who provide discipline specific supervision to, or plan to provide discipline specific supervision to the family/carer lived experience workforce employed in mental health settings by building on the Carer Perspective Supervision Framework and offering practical applications. This is in addition to and completely separate from line management. It addresses the fundamental principles of supervision and the values by which the family/carer lived experience workforce work from, including the key foundations that inform this work.
