Quality Supervision is an important support that organizations can provide to staff members at risk of developing secondary traumatic stress and the field has not defined what comprises "quality supervision" in the context of secondary trauma support. The STS Supervisory Competencies is a tool that individuals and organizations can use as a benchmark for the competencies needed to provide effective STS supervision.
