Trauma-Informed Group Supervision for Individuals and Organisations

Practitioner Supervision Groups offer a safe, structured, and trauma-attuned space for professionals to come together, reflect, and strengthen their wellbeing and practice. Each group is facilitated by an experienced supervisor and brings together practitioners who want to deepen their capacity to work safely, sustainably, and sensitively with people experiencing trauma.

These groups create an environment of shared wisdom and collective support. Through guided reflection, real-world discussion, and wellbeing-focused strategies, participants explore the challenges of their roles while building confidence, resilience, and clarity in trauma-sensitive ways of working.

We offer throughout the year varied tailored groups that focus on different roles understanding the impacts that working alongside trauma-experiences can bring. Some of these groups will be:

• New Graduates — Build a strong foundation, gain confidence, and develop reflective skills early in your career.
• Managers & Team Leaders — Explore trauma-responsive leadership, staff wellbeing, boundaries, and organisational responsibilities.
• Social Workers & Caseworkers — Strengthen reflective capacity, client engagement, and sustainable practice approaches.
• Clinicians & Therapeutic Practitioners — Deepen clinical thinking, regulation strategies, and trauma-attuned therapeutic approaches
• Psychologists – An opportunity to enhance current trauma- sensitive practices and explore the new Code of Conduct for Psychologists.
• Legal and Justice –  Creating space for reflection on the impacts of legal and justice work from a trauma-informed lens
• Expressive Therapists – Engage with other expressive therapists to explore the impact of the unconscious work in this setting

Each group is 6 participants, the first session runs for 90 mins and the subsequent sessions are 60 mins. These occur once a month online via Zoom with the same supervisor throughout sustaining the group dynamic.

Blue Knot’s Organisational trauma-informed group supervision provides supervision through a trauma-informed lens for people who work regularly with complex trauma clients. The aim of the sessions is to provide supervisees with an opportunity to debrief, recognise and respond to vicarious trauma, and explore tips and strategies which support optimal communication practices and interpersonal connections with people they support.

Those who may benefit from trauma-informed group supervision are:

• Interdisciplinary teams working clinically with adult survivors of complex trauma and their families
• Legal teams working with victims and witnesses of crime
• Workers supporting clients with past and/or present traumas
• Teams from legal, health, mental health and human services in government, non-government, public and private sectors
• Any sector or industry where understanding stress outcomes and providing a wellbeing structure for your teams.

Organisational Group Supervision provides regular monthly time to reflect on your professional wellbeing and deepen trauma-attuned practice. The sessions are held on Zoom, generally on a monthly basis over 6 to 12 months with a Blue Knot supervisor in groups of 6 for 60 or 90 mins.
