AASECT CSE Supervision

Update:  March 21, 2024:  I am currently launching 2 sliding scale supervision groups that will be running from June – Oct 2024! Calling all folks seeking supervision for Sex Education certification! These groups are open to people in the process of becoming certified, and is open to CSEs who are already certified, and can be used towards recertification hours! Applications are due May 15, 2024.

ABOUT GROUP

After an initial “getting to know you” session, each group will start off with a general life and work check-in, and then 2-3 individuals will have 20 minutes each to explore a topic of their choosing. It could be a recent training, a facilitation challenge, workshop a new idea, material feedback and review, talk about professional development and career building, negotiation of personal and professional boundaries, self-care, Imposters’ Syndrome — truly whatever is impacting your work or you would like support around. Each session will close with a question assigned to ponder for report back in the next session and the individuals will sign-up to present in the next session. Groups range from 4-6 people, and I try to make sure everyone in the group is complementary. Throughout the group, we will be focusing on helping each other to grow personally and professionally, including recognizing and supporting the unlearning of internalized oppressions and operating from a place of social justice.

THE DETAILS

  • Group supervision meets twice a month June 2024 – Oct 2024.
  • Group session will be every other Tuesday: June 4, June 18, July 16, July 30, Aug 13, Aug 27, Sept 10, Sept 24, Oct 8, and Oct 22, 2024.
  • There are two time slots to choose from: Group 1 will be held 2:30-4:30 PM ET / 11:30-1:30 PT. Group 2 will be held 6:00-8:00 PM ET / 3:00-5:00 PT.

By signing a supervision contract with me, the expectation is that you will participate fully in group, and attend at least 7 sessions. You must attend all 10 sessions in order to complete the 20 hours of group supervision, and you will have 5 an additional hours of required individual supervision to fulfill your supervision requirements for certification. (If you need to miss group, you can make up the missed time with individual supervision.) Most people who participate in group supervision also work with me as their primary supervisor and we use the remaining 5 hours of required individual supervision to complete the application related paperwork after completing group. You are totally welcome to work with someone else as a primary supervisor, provided they are also a Certified Sex Education Supervisor (CSES).

THE COST

Group supervision is Pay What You Can/Sliding Scale of $80-$500 a month. Each month pays for 2 group sessions, which is 4 hours of group time. When people who can pay more do, it helps keep group accessible for those who are otherwise typically financially prevented from attending, while also balancing my own bills. Please note you are paying to reserve your spot in group, and so are expected to pay for your space whether or not you attend, and AASECT requires you must be or become an active AASECT member while in supervision.

  • Monthly payment is accepted via Venmo, Paypal or invoice/check, and is due by the 3rd of the month unless we work something else out.
  • Individual supervision is sliding scale of $40-$250 per hour.

APPLYING FOR GROUP

To help start the process, please complete this application to help me understand more about what you are looking for, your current work, and your hopes for supervision. Anything you share will be held confidential. Once you submit your application, you will get an email from me with a link to schedule a time for us to chat. During this call, I will try to get a sense of where you are in the certification process, what your goals are, and whether we might be a good match/if I am going to be able to provide the support you are hoping for.

If you are seeking individual supervision only or have questions about this process before completing the application, please contact me. If you don’t hear back from me in a week, feel free to email again.
