Reflective Supervision is awarded to one of the twenty-five programs in the Commonwealth. The program must demonstrate regular and successful review of Participant Data System (PDS) records.

Program successes include contributing to Supervisors Support Forums, supervisor and coordinator training, and the Supervision Think Tank.
