In the episode of the CSConnection Podcast titled Pathways to Supervisee and Supervisor Identity Development, Dr. Chetna Duggal, Project Director at Rahbar, TISS, reflects on the evolving landscape of supervision in India.

Drawing from over two decades of experience, she explores how supervision can be a space for support and advocacy for practitioners—especially in making supervision responsive to diverse cultures, contexts and communities.

Dr. Duggal speaks about navigating multiple roles as a supervisor, building systems that integrate supervision into mental health practice, and fostering mutual learning through reflection and feedback.

From 8–12 September 2025, Rahbar hosted the in-person module of the Post Graduate Diploma in Supervision for Mental Health Practice at the Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai campus— a space for reflection, learning, and connection.

Over five days, participants explored supervision frameworks, skills practice, and relational approaches through role plays and reflective dialogue.
It was a week of deep listening, shared stories, and collective growth — building a community of practitioners committed to holding space for those who heal.

A heartfelt thank you to our participants and team who made this journey meaningful!
