Did you know that we now have two catalogues that describe our e-learning resources? 

The Online Training Catalog lists and describes 90+ online modules currently available in our Learning Management System (http://practiceinnovations.org/Learning-Community-Login).

The Consumer and Family Portal lists and provides information for providers, consumers, and their families.

Agency supervisors play a key role in ensuring that recipients receive high-quality services and staff are provided with the support they need to develop the skills, knowledge, and values to do their jobs. Good supervision has been linked to positive staff outcomes like improved job satisfaction, higher morale, and learning evidence-based practices. 

Unfortunately, most people who become supervisors don’t have the opportunity to participate in training or coursework before taking on this important role. This can make an always challenging job even more difficult.  

Access a list of OMH-licensed programs where at least one staff person has earned an Integrated Mental Health Mental Health/Addictions Treatment Training (IMHATT) certificate. People earn an IMHATT certificate after completing 29 online training modules that include basic, intermediate, and advanced skills in integrated treatment for co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders including tobacco dependence.

Agency supervisors play a vital role in ensuring that individuals receive high-quality services and that staff have the support they need to build the skills, knowledge, and confidence to succeed in their roles. Effective supervision has been linked to improved job satisfaction, higher staff morale, stronger retention, and greater use of evidence-based practices.

Despite the importance of supervision, many people step into supervisory positions with little or no formal training. Taking on this critical responsibility without adequate preparation can make an already challenging role even more demanding.
