Overview

Organisational Psychology Endorsement Group Supervision program (OPEGS) - Working with People from Diverse Groups (Competency #7)

Welcome to the 8th session of the OPEGS program, focussing on the competency of Working with People from Diverse Groups (Competency #7)

In this 2-hour standalone group supervision session, you will work through different concepts and case studies with other registrars and a board approved supervisor to increase your competence in this area. Each session requires active participation, self-reflection, and application of the registrars’ knowledge. There may be pre-work needed prior to sessions so please keep an eye on your emails leading up to the session.

Reflecting on practice is a mandatory, core activity for registered psychologists. Participation in group supervision allows registrars to hone reflective abilities participating in facilitated discussions by a Board approved Supervisor, drawing on past experiences as well as listening and engaging with other registrars' examples. In this way, registrants will develop skills to comprehend and codify experiences that will enable them to become reflexive practitioners.

For further information about the OPEGS program and how it will run please visit the OPEGS webpage. You can also reach out to OPEGS organisers or your local APS COPS committee if you need any further information.
