- Title

- Authors
Fitzgibbons, Sarah C.; Smith, Megan M.; McCormick, Ashley
- Abstract
Infant and early childhood mental health (IECMH) practitioners working with infants and young children and their caregivers who are impacted by the trauma of separation, loss, and unpredictable reunification require access to reflective supervision/consultation (RS/C) to mitigate vicarious trauma and compassion fatigue, and to ensure thoughtful best practice and a commitment to cultural humility. Through the lens of the Reflective Interaction Observation Scale (RIOS™), the authors provide a case study of a reflective supervisory relationship to highlight the significance of authentic support when working with traumatized young children separated from their parents, and in addressing the effects of racism and historical trauma.
