  Behavioral health staff will learn how to implement client-centered practice and supervision with SuperAssist (Supervision Assist App). SuperAssist is designed to facilitate supervision practices around clients' identified goals and needs, which may positively impact clinician job well-being (e.g., burnout, job satisfaction), professional growth, the quality of care, and eventually client outcomes.

Study Details

The goal of this pilot study is to test a Supervision Assist App (SuperAssist) for implementing Client-Centered Supervision (CCS) to improve supervision practices for mental health providers (providers). During previous Aims 1 and 2, a SuperAssist beta version was designed and developed before beta testing of SuperAssist with providers and supervisors. During this pilot randomized controlled trial (Aim 3), the investigators will evaluate the feasibility, preliminary outcomes, and change mechanisms of SuperAssist.
