Students have it rough. Between graduate school, collecting supervision hours, working, and general life, they have additional stressors that we have no influence over as supervisors. However, we do have autonomy and flexibility inside of the supervision experiences we create. Additionally, we know that one of the leading indicators of increased burnout among behavior analysts is a lack of supervision and support. In this talk, Dr. Shane T. Spiker will discuss how we can build strategies for burnout prevention and teach necessary self-care strategies for our future behavior analysts.

Learning Objectives:

  • Participants will identify flexible components of supervisory practices within BACB guidelines
  • Participants will discuss outcomes related to burnout prevention and prolonged burnout experiences
  • Participants will individualize supervision practices to account for burnout prevention strategies

This course had really valuable information to put into action immediately. It asked great questions, made me think about my own practice and how I can make things better for my supervisees. Great strategies and ideas!

I was so excited about this CEU opportunity for two reasons: 1) Shane Spiker. He's great, and I've had the opportunity to meet and collaborate with him in the past. 2) Burn out is no joke. Every industry is faced with this dilemma, especially those within the "helping" professions. I am a BCBA and have experienced my own feelings of burn out as well as relatively high burn out rates of my peers and individuals I've supported. I felt this course opened up a lot of doors with how we can better ourselves as supervisors while making supervision more meaningful, holistic, and beneficial to everyone. I want more of this, and am excited to apply what I've learned to my supervision with current supervisees.
