Clinical supervision has been shown to advance professional competency and optimal client care. In the field of recreation therapy, practitioners often work in isolation or in small departments, making clinical supervision difficult to actualize. The authors offer a peer supervision model as a mechanism to operationalize clinical supervision for recreation therapists. This article provides an overview of peer supervision, including a definition and goals. An example of a peer supervision model is presented. Various roles within a peer supervision group are identified.References
