Whether you manage a team of mediators, are an independent mediator or conflict practitioner or are a HR consultant who offers mediation, supervision is an essential element of professional development.
Professional practice supervision can help you:

Protect your own boundaries and work to realistic achievable standards
Support your growth, learning and development as a mediator
Give you a leading edge in the field
