It is important to look beyond what we have in the ‘room’ to extend thinking and understanding, or seek something to ground our experiences, to bring us back to core ideas and professional principles related to our work. Here are some links to and references for what I consider to be some foundational resources for professional (mostly social work) supervision and kaitiakitanga in Aotearoa.
Some books for starters:
