CentreMHN Clinical Supervision Masterclass

What are the aims?

Our CS Masterclass aims to:

1. Deliver relational clinical supervision training that supports the wellbeing, flourishing, and professional practice of mental health nurses.
2. Prepare participants to facilitate clinical supervision that enables relational mental health nursing practice that fosters the health, healing and wellbeing of consumers, families, and communities.
3. Support the implementation of Victoria’s Clinical Supervision for Mental Health Nurses Framework across Victoria’s public mental health and wellbeing services.

Who is the target audience?

The CentreMHN Clinical Supervision Masterclass is for experienced mental health nurses who currently offer or would like to offer clinical supervision in their practice as clinical nurse educators, psychiatric nurse consultants, clinical nurse consultants, nurse practitioners, or other education, leadership or advanced practice roles in mental health and wellbeing services in Victoria. We have tailored the CS Masterclass to meet the clinical supervisor development needs of different cohorts over three years:

• (2023-2024): Clinical nurse educators, psychiatric nurse consultants, enrolled nurses in education support roles, and other mental health nurses in education and professional roles within public sector mental health and wellbeing services in Victoria.
• (2025): Mental health nurses in education, professional development, or CS champion roles, as well as those in clinical or non-clinical leadership positions in public sector mental health and wellbeing services in Victoria.
• (2026) All experienced mental health nurses tasked with providing clinical supervision or wanting to do so.

How is the program delivered?

The CentreMHN Clinical Supervision Masterclass is delivered through ten online modules over ten weeks. Each module includes 60 -120 minutes of self-directed active learning, and a 105-minute facilitated workshop that features clinical supervision practice sessions.

What approaches underpin the Masterclass?

We know that narrative, relationship, and reflection are at the heart of mental health nursing and clinical supervision. For this reason, narrative, relational, and reflective pedagogical approaches underpin the course design, delivery, and meaningful translation of learning into clinical supervision practice.

Throughout this Clinical Supervision Masterclass, we intentionally privilege experiential, relational, and translational approaches to growing the clinical supervision capabilities of mental health nurses. A commitment to receiving and providing clinical supervision throughout the program and beyond is a requirement of Masterclass participation.
