Interventions

  • FOCUS supervision strategy — OTHER
    The FOCUS supervision strategy provides a strenghts-based model for supervision. It is built around three core components: (1) Five pillars for effective supervision interactions, (2) practical skills that operationalize these principles, and (3) a set of experiential activities that provide foundational learnings for staff to practice the skills around real-life situations (from which future client-specific interventions can be built). In this study, FOCUS is being tailored for SUD treatment settings.

Study Details

Substance use disorders such as opioid addiction affect millions of adults in the United States each year, but the delivery of high-quality, effective addiction services is disrupted by organizational issues such as counselor burnout and turnover. Clinical supervisors are essential for supporting counselors in specialty addiction treatment programs, but few supervisors receive supervision-focused training. This project seeks to develop and pilot an evidence-based supervision strategy that has a high potential to enhance supervision and result in improved counselors' well-being and performance and, in turn, to improve client outcomes.
