Supervisor Manual for the Field Guide to Family Advocacy
The Supervisor Manual for the Field Guide to Family Advocacy, developed by Children’s Advocacy Centers of Mississippi and the West Virginia Child Advocacy Network, is a companion guide to the Field Guide to Family Advocacy and is geared toward professionals who supervise family advocates. This companion resource is intended to help supervisors effectively utilize the Field Guide with the family advocates on their staff.
In preparation for the development of this supervisory guide, CAC family advocates were asked, “What do you want from a supervisor?” and “How would you want your supervisor to use this guide with you?”
The results of those conversations are included throughout this supervisor’s guide:
- Introduction
- Part 1: Basics of Supervision
- Part 2: Supplemental Information to the Field Guide & Additional Resources
- Part 3: Conclusion
While professional growth should be a journey grounded in foundational and ongoing training, good supervision and using this tool to effectively teach family advocates to use the Field Guide to Family Advocacy lays a foundation for integrating learning into good practice.
