This framework has been developed under the guidance of experts in clinical supervision to help mental health nurses to deal with issues that arise for them in their work. It will support and enable them to grow as individuals and as professionals.
It outlines our commitment to supporting mental health nurses in Victoria in accessing consistent, appropriate and effective clinical supervision and support mechanisms. It is underpinned by an integrative literature review, which looked at literature from 2010 onwards, including several organisational policies and position statements.
The framework development was steered by a group of experienced mental health nurses and nurse academics who hold specialist knowledge in providing clinical supervision.
