Beyond Supervision: A Journey into Professional Identity, Leadership and Reflective Practice

A Professional Development Webinar with Monica Carpendale

What does it mean to become a supervisor, rather than simply provide supervision?

Supervision is more than a professional responsibility. It is a relational and creative practice that invites us to deepen our self-awareness, navigate complexity, nurture emerging practitioners and develop our own professional identity.

Join Monica Carpendale for an engaging webinar introducing a new vision for The Art of Art Therapy Supervision at the Kutenai Art Therapy Institute.

This session explores the evolution of supervision from a standalone continuing education experience into a progressive professional formation pathway that supports art therapists and helping professionals in developing their supervisory presence, leadership and reflective practice over time.

Drawing upon Monica's extensive experience and relational, arts-based approach, participants will be invited to consider how supervision can become a creative space for professional growth, ethical reflection and meaningful connection.

What We'll Explore

During this 60-minute webinar, we will explore:

Understanding the New RCAT-S Designation: An overview of the Canadian Art Therapy Association's (CATA) new supervision designation, including the stated June 1, 2027 requirement for clinical art therapy supervisors.

Navigating the Transition: An introduction to the legacy application pathway for existing RCATs, available through April 30, 2027, and the requirements for those pursuing RCAT-S outside this pathway, including professional experience and directed supervision education.

What Does This Mean for Art Therapists? A discussion about how these changes may affect current supervisors, emerging supervisors and art therapists considering supervision as part of their professional development.

A Conversation with Monica Carpendale: The Art of Supervision: An exploration of supervisory identity, relational and arts-based practice, reflective presence and what it means to grow into the role of supervisor.

Your Questions and Next Steps: An opportunity for audience questions, helpful resources and an introduction to KATI's evolving Art of Art Therapy Supervision professional formation pathway.

More than an information session, this webinar invites us to consider how the changing professional landscape can open conversations about the art, responsibility and ongoing development of supervision.

Introducing a New Professional Formation Pathway

Discover KATI's evolving vision for The Art of Art Therapy Supervision: a progressive learning experience designed to bring together professional education, experiential learning, mentorship and consultation.

Rather than approaching supervision as a single workshop, this pathway invites participants into an ongoing process of developing supervisory identity, strengthening professional leadership and deepening their capacity for ethical, relational and arts-based practice.

Who Is This Webinar For?

This webinar welcomes art therapists and helping professionals who are curious about becoming supervisors, currently providing supervision or seeking opportunities to deepen their supervisory practice.

Whether you are beginning to explore the supervisory role or bringing years of experience to your work, this session offers an opportunity to reflect on your professional development and discover a new approach to supervision education.

Join us as we explore supervision not simply as something we do, but as a professional identity we continue to develop.
