The basic goals of supervision of the prevention specialist are to assure the delivery of high-quality interventions, create a positive work environment, and develop staff professional and administrative skills.

As an advancing field of professional service, prevention is expanding through levels of certification and through concurrent initiatives with behavioral health. As the certification process advances in states, jurisdictions and tribes, there is little to no training specifically for supervising prevention staff.

This conference will explore ethical leadership challenges, staff development, supervisor roles and characteristics, staff performance evaluation and retention practices.
