Here at CTC, we are defining our own concept of Professional Supervision for youth practitioners.

​

Our established method is derived from conceptual research which is grounded and contextualised into the key attributes and defining principles of youth practitioners. The method incorporates various theoretical frameworks of engagement and supervision, both clinical and administrative, which is grounded in educational and developmental theory.
