Sept. 16, James Schepper, Ph.D. represented Livingston County Catholic Charities as well as Livingston County specifically at the 14th annual Michigan Substance Use Disorder Conference. Dr. Schepper presented a breakout session on “Optimizing the Team through Supervision” and more than 100 supervisors from various agencies from across Michigan attended the training session. The training session was designed to: 1) help supervisors understand the development and unique differences between their staff; 2) help supervisors train staff to understand the unique differences between each other; and 3) help supervisors encourage a team approach when working with their clientele. The session was a wonderful success and allowed supervisors to gain tools for their profession, as well as elusive continuing education credits needed for supervisors.
