Speak Out February 2016

Spotlight on Professional Support

Supervision and Mentoring

Eighty five mentoring partnerships were registered in 2015, which is nearly double the number registered the previous year. It’s a great to start 2016 with nine speech pathologists listed on the supervision register and 57 speech pathologists listed on the Find a Mentor search. We encourage speech pathologists not currently receiving clinical supervision in their workplace to negotiate with their employer to receive external supervision. For more information about supervision go to: www.speechpathologyaustralia.org.au/information-for- members/supervision and information about mentoring can be found at: www.speechpathologyaustralia.org.au/ information-for-members/mentoring-program

supported professionally. One avenue for receiving and giving professional support is through a peer support relationship. See the next page for a great example of how two members have set up and benefited from a peer support relationship. Peer support is recognised as a professional development activity in the PSR program and earns one point per hour spent on this activity under the mentoring, supervision, and peer support (M) category.
