Good supervision can make a meaningful difference—not only for individual employees, but for the strength and stability of an entire workforce.

That’s why we’re excited to once again partner with the Paraprofessional Healthcare Institute (PHI) to offer Coaching and Supervision this January.

Feedback from previous participants has been incredibly strong: 96% reported increased knowledge after the training, and 92% said they felt more empowered as supervisors. Participants have shared that they walked away with practical approaches they could immediately bring back to their everyday conversations, problem-solving, and relationships with staff.

NNH AHEC's Deputy Director, Laura Remick, will co-facilitate the upcoming training with Tory Jennison.
