This presentation is informed by a spirit of solidarity and social justice activism. Vikki will illuminate her stance for a Supervision of Solidarity and an ethic of Justice Doing as a frame for the Supervision of community work and therapy. The frame for a Supervision of Solidarity includes: centering ethics, doing solidarity, addressing power, fostering collective sustainability, critically engaging with language and structuring safety. We will engage with our own stances for ethical practice, opening up our collective work to a hopeful skepticism that questions the ethics alive in our supervision practice.
