Q Rod Baxter

- Professional Supervision and Workshop Facilitation
- Accredited Member of Korowai Tupu

Supervision is one of the things that has sustained my two decades in youth work. I’ve worked in local youth centres, for national organisations, government agencies and global movements. Supervision has been the reflective rhythm keeping my heart for this mahi beating. I feel grateful and responsible to offer this to other practitioners, especially youth workers, as well as other people who work with people.

I teamed up with Trissel Eriksen from Palmerston North’s Youth One Stop Shop (YOSS) to translate some of the literature into frameworks that make sense for youth workers which became the ‘Supervision Scrapbook‘.

I love developing workshops and facilitating courses for supervisors and supervisees alike. I stay actively connected to the ever-emerging supervision literature and attend professional development for supervisors. I’ve presented workshops at the annual Australian Clinical Supervision Conferences.
