This workshop presents best practices and evidence support for multicultural clinical supervision in the frame of cultural humility. Through lecture, reflection on video clips, and experiential exercises, participants will learn the complexity of the multiple components of supervisor competence and worldviews in clinical supervision. Review of regulations for clinical supervision will be provided. Emphasis is on strategies to enhance supervision, including multicultural identities and worldviews, establishing a relationship of cultural humility, planfully developing the supervisory relationship, identifying and repairing strains and ruptures, preventing inappropriate and inadequate supervision, which research has identified is occurring at high rates, introducing the supervision contract,  goal and task setting, ensuring ongoing anchored feedback, identifying trauma and implementing trauma-informed supervision, managing countertransference and emotional reactivity, supporting self-care, and addressing ethical issues
