Supportive Supervision: Supervisor Training Curriculum

Supportive supervision is integral to the safe and effective delivery of mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) services in humanitarian settings. However, despite many advances in the development of MHPSS activities in recent years, comprehensive guidance on supervision had remained a ‘missing link’. In Red Cross Red Crescent National Societies’ MHPSS activities are integrated across sectors, units and departments. Regardless of the sector in which they are situated, volunteers and staff providing MHPSS services should receive the supportive approach to supervision, to ensure activities are carried out safely and effectively.
